2015 Brabantse Pijl Apr 15th 1.HC 205.4km

I can't see how this is supposed to be suited to Felline. Sure, he is the kind of rider who can climb fairly well and still sprint, but for a race like Brabant totally different skills are needed, you need to be attentive every second, riding at the front, following the right moves and so on - not sitting in the last position of the bunch for the whole race, as Felline usually does.

Very good post.
Exactly,he is not that kind of guy...gallopin outside bet.Gilbert ftw

Among the things Felline has improved this year there's positioning.
Not saying it's ideal, but I've seen him riding close to the front in many important races in 2015. Check MSR for instance.

No break after 70km, is that correct?

Re:

yep, correct. In fact 80km now.

 

[TourOfTexas]

Hopefully Gilbert will get this.

Hopefully he'll get DQ'd if he deviates from his line as he did last year.

Huh? Did they forget to invite Preben Van Hecke?

 

[Jagartrott]

Don't worry guys, De Gendt in the breakaway.

Lotto are animating most major races this year, it's great to see!
Furthermore, they're still getting wins.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yea, Lotto is a very likable team this year.

 

[Flamin]

Nice moment to tune in: attack from Leuki!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I think Kelderman wanted to react, but he had no way to pass, he almost rode himself into the public lol

 

[Flamin]

This is good, Matthews with just 1 teammate left.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice aggressive riding by BMC. This is what they need to do.

 

[Flamin]

Doms spent. Leaders have to react themselves now. Thanks to BMC indeed.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Matthews now without teammates and reacting to moves in the peloton.

 

[Sasquatch]

Should stop the Matthews is a contender for AGR talk.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Felline has joined the chasing group. This could very well be the decisive move. Who's gonna bring it back together?

Edit: OK, it's almost back together again. Matthews doing a lot of work himself.

Interesting situation!Chaos!
otoh nobody is going full gas, only Hermans

 

[Flamin]

Phil waiting very long.

 

[Sasquatch]

I can't see this Felline/Arashiro group getting caught. Can they catch the two leaders though? Gap has held steady.

 

[Sasquatch]

CCC doing the work now, but only have 2 riders.

 

[Sasquatch]

No one working in the chase group. Peloton have basically caught them now.

They are caught now, almost

 

[Sasquatch]

No organisation. Can Hermans and Tanner hold on?
