Lol, Demare, that was weak.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Demare is such a wheelsucker. Can't take a single pull.

Re: Re:

The cobbles specialists should sit up and let the sprinters and Steppers do the work.

All the fastest guys are up front except Degenkolb and Kristoff who neither seem 100%.

Nah, it's easier to attack from that group when the wind shifts direction than from a big bunch.

They are still waste a lot of energy. And Viviani isn't taking any turns anymore.

It's stupid tactics by GVA and Sagan.

I don't get you - so you think they should let it all come back together for a huge bunch sprint? It's not like the sprinters in the front group would pull hard to stay away even if Sagan, VAM refused to work.

It's over for the chasers. It's all about the leading group now. Better start thinking about how you can beat Demare and Viviani.

Agreed. Sagan and GVA will probably think they have chances in a group sprint as well, after a hardish race. And they may well be right.

I'll be disappointed If Viviani or Démare win this.

 

[Laplaz]

Modolo for the win

We'll see proper attacks near the finish. It may be a sprint, but it's no sure thing.

Re:

He does his fair share of work, I’d say.

 

[WheelofGear]

Demare does more work than Matthews at least.

But everyone does that.

 

[rick james]

fair play to Roompot

 

[WheelofGear]

At least we see Viviani and Demare doing their fair share. Matthews doesn't take ANY pulls.

 

[Netserk]

Re: 2018 Gent-Wevelgem, Deinze › Wevelgem (251.1k) - March 2

So will Sep join attacks and pull in the final, or is it all in for Modolo?

Re:

You didn't have to post it twice. Anyway, there's a minute gap, he has no need to work if all the others are so willing.

 

[WheelofGear]

Highly frustrating racing. Time to think about attacking.

 

[DFA123]

Great chance for Sagan to win I think. A race which has been hard for the pure sprinters, but relatively easy for him. A bit like the WC he's won, he should be able to outsprint everyone here.

 

[WheelofGear]

Is GVA stupid? Why is he taking pulls?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Normally I'd say it's Viviani's to lose now with that team support

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Wasn't Modolo on the ground for ages when he crashed? How the hell is he in the front group?

 

[WheelofGear]

I'm puking if Matthews who has done nothing wins.

 

[jaylew]

Can we please get some attacks?

 

[Netserk]

Phil is a frightening deterrent.

 

[jaylew]

Re:

We get it, you don't like Matthews. Are you going to puke if Viviani or Modolo wins?

 

[Flamin]

Pace is just too high for serious attacks. And there are a bit too many guys with a good sprint in the group of course.
