As with all internationally watched races. First native language and then some questions in english for the international audience.Brullnux said:Stuyven interviewed in Dutch. Echoes will be happy
Edit: initially in Dutch, then switched to English. Echoes won't be happy, then.
I don't have a problem with a sprinter winning any race.Sprinters failed today,though.Arredondo said:Be glad. You don't want to have a sprinter as winner of this race?DBotero said:Nice win for Stuyven.Those guys in the peloton were really dumb,watching as Lotto was struggling to close this down instead of helping them![]()
Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.Maaaaaaaarten said:Nice to see Stuyven developing and getting a big win like this now.
Belgium will rule the classics for all eternity, now with Stuyven and Benoot in the coming years![]()
Küng's future will depend on professional guide through the road racing, I'd say.Bushman said:Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.Maaaaaaaarten said:Nice to see Stuyven developing and getting a big win like this now.

I reckon he will be a future star in the classics as well when he switches fully to the road.
Küng is a great prospect indeed, but he still has to prove himself. He's young, so it's only natural, but Benoot and now also Stuyven have already proved themselves in classics. Gougeard as well by the way. Also, Senechal got amazing results as a neo pro, but he needs to find a better team.Bushman said:Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.

Gianni Moscon seems like one to be watched as well now already!Maaaaaaaarten said:Küng is a great prospect indeed, but he still has to prove himself.

That's why I keep watching even when the odds are low.Akuryo said:"I'd rather watch paint dry"? This was actually a good race. Lots of action and a very deserved winner in the end. Congrats Jasper![]()
Can't agree more!TommyGun said:Really great opening weekend, with long range attacks and voluntary riders!! Hopefully it is a sign of the spirit of the rest of the season...
Yes! I love that the opening weekend saw winners come from attacks because now that "I can get away and win" thought is in everyone's head! I'm excited for some more good spring racing!TommyGun said:Really great opening weekend, with long range attacks and voluntary riders!!

Yeah. I've once read an opinion that he was in WT only because of his brother. I find it unfair. He proved to be a great team-mate today.Carstenbf said:P.S props to Van Poppel setting things up beautifully!
Epic ride by Jasper and BVP... BVP has proven multiple times he belongs as a WT rider, sure not one who is going to get a great result, but a fantastic leadout man, strong enough for the cobbles and smart.Anderis said:Yeah.

Well, no WT points at stake this weekend.TommyGun said:Really great opening weekend, with long range attacks and voluntary riders!! Hopefully it is a sign of the spirit of the rest of the season...
If OGE stop stalling Luke Durbridge's career and make him something more than a whipping boy for Simon Gerrans and Caleb Ewan, then he would have a say about it too. Potentially Michael Hepburn as well. Although he's probably more suited to the Ardennes.Bushman said:Not quite sure Stefan Küng will agree.Maaaaaaaarten said:Nice to see Stuyven developing and getting a big win like this now.

Hepburn a classics star? Cant see it happening at all. Durbridge surely has some potential but hasnt proven enough. Domestique duties or not.Sasquatch said:If OGE stop stalling Luke Durbridge's career and make him something more than a whipping boy for Simon Gerrans and Caleb Ewan, then he would have a say about it too.
