2017 Tour of Flanders / Ronde Van Vlaanderen - April 2, 260k

[Forever The Best]

The other teams should let Bora and BMC chase.
Why is Astana working ffs?

Re: Re:

I will have a heart attack if gilbert don't stop working!!!
He is underestimating the likes of sep and stuyven

He needs to work, if he stops half of the group will stop immediately, and they will get caught

He was almost dragging all the group. He should do what sep is doing

Re: Re:

Gilbert pushing a lot, is Boonen the team leader

Supposedly it's shared leadership between the two..

Trentin doesn't seem weaker than the other two.

Re:

Both!

 

[Lance Armstrong]

The peloton will explode on Kwaremont. Theyn need to get as close as possible so that Sagan and Avermaet can bridge. The last chance.

But the team announced earlier in the week that both Boonen and PhilGil are the protected riders.

Is that orica working? Thought that had someone in the group

 

[Velolover2]

Orica is at least doing something.

 

[portugal11]

Sagan's group has to close 40 seconds in 7 km... mission impossible

 

[Vroome.exe]

I dont think Stybar is in the peloton, so if this group gets caught then quickstep has only terpstra.

 

[Velolover2]

GVA needs to sacrifice most of his teammates (except Oss) if he wants to win.

Dumb move by Gilbert. Not to going with the break, but to work so much. He should just sit up in the group.

What.

This isn't the middle of a 21 day race where saving riders could actually be useful ...

I can't believe people actually think like this.

Lampaert is definitely in the peloton. And I don't see why Stybar wouldn't be there.

Stybar is in the peloton.

 

[AlexNYC]

The peloton is making progress. I really hope the group can stay away, but they need to speed it up a little

The peloton split earlier. Stybar was caught behind.

 

[Saint Unix]

Kristoff is getting a free ride in the break.

Let BMC and Bora work, the attack in the climbs or in the flat when the group is small.

Re: 2017 Tour of Flanders / Ronde Van Vlaanderen - April 2,

Boonen and gilbert just spending little too much, the counterattack of Sagan and gva will be brutal

 

[Andro]

All 3 QS riders are pulling a lot. A bit dangerous given how strong the group is.

 

[WheelofGear]

37 secs.

Maybe it's coming back. But the "peloton" will be at the size of the leading group.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Re:

Kristoff is getting a free ride in the break.

He's been taking pulls

 

[sir fly]

Anyone from behind who wants to fight for the podium will have to bridge twice.
Tall order against Gilbert, Boonen, Trentin, Vanmarcke, Kristoff...

 

[DenisMenchov]

Keukeliere must be really strong.

 

[Red Rick]

I have a greater chance of finding the meaning of life than understanding why Orica is working right now.
