2015, Ronde van Vlaanderen 264.9 Km

[EddytheBoss]

Etixx is thinking a secure 2nd place is better than an more obvious 4th if Sagan and GVA bridges..

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Kristoff taking a BIG pull there.

 

[doperhopper]

will it come all together with 2kms to go?

 

[Gloin22]

Neo pro chasing Sagan GVA in his first Ronde...

Re:

Losing all my respect for Terpstra, if he wants to win this race he has to stop riding immediately

It would be stupid with Sagan behind.
Think about it.
Best chance now is to keep the pace and attack with 1-2 kms left.

Re:

Terpstra should be suspended for 2 years if he continues riding with Kristoff. What a complete tool.

Terpstra stops pedaling. They get caught.

1. Degenkolb
2. Kristoff
3. Sagan
4. Roelandts


Etc

But maybe going for the win is more important really. It's not that simple though.

Re: Re:

Why the **** is Terpstra riding? He even has Stybar behind

Can stybar outsprint Kristoff or Degankolb? I'm not sure

No but better chance for Terpstra + Stybar in a group than Terpstra vs Kristoff 1v1.

 

[goggalor]

G2 finished now.

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

G3 pulling the brakes

Nah, it's not that cut and dry yet. He does need to stop soon if they stay away, though.

 

[trevim]

I don't know if he's cool enough for that but Terpstra would be better with Sagan and GvA

Re:

Because Terpstra wants a win. He can't win from a big group. Quickstep can't seem to win from a big group in 2015.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So nice RVV win for Kristoff

 

[The Barb]

Kristoff is incredible. Fair play to him. Didn't just hang on for a group sprint like Degenkolb.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Impressive by Kristoff that he keeps Sagan/GVA away. Terpstra not to much use

 

[Kwibus]

Terpstra and Kristoff are simply the strongest.

Also these horrrrible final kms on these god awful rvv unworthy roads.

He won't ever get away from Kristoff if he doesn't leave the work to him.

 

[ILovecycling]

Stybar will be spend by carching those attacks duhh

 

[classicomano]

Stybar was cooked on the last climb, hes not gonna do better than a second place. Niki has no choice.

 

[glassmoon]

Well Kristoff just beat the collective stupidity again

 

[goggalor]

Tough situation for Terpstra this. But really it's not that terrible tactically from Etixx, would've been perfect if Thomas and Stybar had slightly better legs.

 

[doperhopper]

Sagermaet losing it, unless Terpstoff begins to play games

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Okay Niki, you have 30', time to stop pulling

A rider can recover lots in the final few kms, if the gap behind is big enough.

Omg Niki
