2014 Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde, 1-3 April, 2.HC

[Lexman]

If Demare takes some bonus seconds in trws sprint, put him on the list, he was top tenish in TA

forget about Demare tomorrow :

@ArnaudDemare @EquipeFDJ won’t start anymore tomorrow in @Driedaagse_ #ddp

to spare himself for de Ronde???

Stage 3a is a morning affair:

Starts 9:25 (CEST) and made for sprinters. Kristoff nailed the stage last year:
Modolo came 2nd.

But Kittel gotta be p!ssed off by now.

He sure is.

Marcel Kittel ‏@marcelkittel 4h

Can't tell when I was the last time that disappointed. Felt as strong as Hulk but ****ed it up. At least I didn't throw a bike again. Yet.

I predict he'll win by 2 bike lengths.

Probably, he is ambitious for the RVV, one of his main season goal

 

[Wallenquist]

Kittel should move on to Modolo's wheel in today's finale but he didint and he let it to pretty unknown Kazakh rider. He can only blame himself and now he has to win tommorow morning to get some confidence before Scheldprijs.

don't see him finish in the top 5, maybe top 10 in a sunny and good weather Ronde...

I did not say that he will win there, I said that it is one of his season goals. He is still young and has to learn, but I agree with your overall perception, top 10 on a good day.

Looking at last few series.

2013 - Select sprint for 4th place he'd make this season
2012 - Select sprint for 4th place he'd make this season

He sure is.

Don't you think that tomorrows stage will be to hard for Kittle? I can't find the profile pic right now, but I believe tomorrow is suppose to be similar to stage 1.

either the map is wrong or the profile, it's the same course as last year, and it was perfectly flat back then

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The profile is perfectly correct.

If you look closely, you see 0 to 56m.. I don't think any 56m bump can drop Kittel. That's like a bridge

 

[Netserk]

The profile is different from last year:
