2015 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, 28th Feb, 200km, 1.HC

Yes, but he has two teammates leading him out, not Flecha forcing him to go too early.

Yeah, I think you're right. Definitely different than a two-up or three-up sprint with different teams.

Vanmarcke should let GVA pull a bit

edit: now Vandebergh burning himself

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Boonen's little accelerations look very strong

 

[trevim]

Vanmarcke will open the race again all by himself

 

[Beacon Hill]

Why isn't Etixx beating Stannard up?

 

[PremierAndrew]

Really hope Vanmarcke keeps something in reserve instead of burning himself out chasing Etixx

 

[jens_attacks]

Stijn trolling sep now
But amazing effort wow

 

[Netserk]

Why isn't Etixx beating Stannard up?

I think they are more worried about Vanmarcke.

 

[Orbit501]

Got to feel for Vanmarcke, working like a beast and if he does pull Boonen's group back then chances are they'll now have Gilbert to join GVA who's been getting a free ride behind Vanmarcke.

Edit: Apologies GVA, just seen him taking a turn after all.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

gap going up again

Vanmarcke is a monster, but it's 1 versus 3

 

[Tom T.]

Vendebergh looks like he's 7 feet tall.

because he is stronger than I thought

Too early for that, need to make sure Vanmarcke and GVA can't catch up before focusing on tiring Stannard out

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Yeah, Vanmarcke must be getting cooked now. GVA isn't strong enough.

Perfect person to shield you from the wind.

 

[ILovecycling]

when Vandebergh (poor guy) will be spend someone will attack surely

 

[More Strides than Rides]

At 40k I thought it was all over. Glad the tension is building and not dissipating.

 

[ILovecycling]

VM almost dead, GVA has to work more!

I love those mano(s) a mano(s) battles

 

[Parrulo]

Vanmarcke is done

Etixx doesn't even need to attack stannard. They should just have the third guy constantly let a gap open and force Stannard to close. Eventually he would break

Congratz with the 10k in your next post

 

[Roude Leiw]

Sep is incredible, after each corner, styby has to sprint to reconnect

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

It'll be interesting to see what Stannard can do, he can get at least third for sure ahead of Vandenbergh but Boonen and Terpstra will surely be too strong, however he has had a nice spin on the Etixx train

 

[ILovecycling]

Now Terpstra and Boonen riding, I havent expected that

He has to attack,its simple,but after they will be more spend

 

[Beacon Hill]

Stannard still hanging on?

Never have any idea how much Stannard has left ... he always looks on the floor.
