2018 Strade Bianche, 1.UWT, 03.03.18

[Valv.Piti]

What the heck happened to Phil and Greg? This is a very disappointing showing...

 

[Netserk]

Oss is needed. This doesn't go nearly fast enough. Seriously, three teammates, only one man to pull a big group ahead in...

Re: Re:

It's gonna be Van Aert or Bardet.

Nope. It is not

1:50 gap between van aert and sagan.

Sagan, kwiat and valverde messed up. If they let amador, muhlberger and puccio ride at the front they wouldve been riding for the win.

Yeah i don't know, but 1'40 is a lot.

I think GVA is pretty terrible in bad weather. Something that's gone slightly under the radar, and a bit strange for a Belgian hard man - but I can't think of him challenging or winning in anything but good conditions.

I honestly think the gap for the Sagan group is too big. This is really looking good for Van Aert and Bardet. Also kinda funny that of all the great quick step riders it's Peter Serry who is best positioned.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The group favorites is f.cked. I'm sure of it.

They are not closing 2 minutes on Van Aert and Bardet

 

[Brullnux]

So oss is in the group: why isn't he working for Sagan?

1' 50" is too much

100% between those two

 

[Netserk]

Benoot's maiden win incoming? Can it happen?!

 

[Samamba]

Benoot's maiden win incoming? Can it happen?!

Nope, wrong decisions, as always. Was following Bardet and then just stopped. Stupid.

 

[johnymax]

Tiesj Benoot for the win

 

[Gigs_98]

Benoot's maiden win incoming? Can it happen?!

I don't think his group is stronger than the leading group so closing that gap will be very hard.

 

[Brullnux]

Ok, so the two big groups are going to come back together.
Can oss, burghardt, Moscon and puccio chase back?

Re: Re:

Nope. It is not

How can it not be it?

 

[Arredondo]

Serry shows that his Lombardia '13 performance was no fluke.

 

[fauniera]

Sky are doing their best to prevent a Kwiatkowski win. What do you have a tractor for if he doesn't want to pull?

They should be able to close that if they work well. 20km is a long way, and they could even give the leaders 15 seconds going into the final climb and still beat them (like Cancellara did a couple of years ago).

Too late

Van Aert & Bardet all the way to Piazza del Campo

 

[johnymax]

Van Aert and Bardet are amazing

 

[70kmph]

Good stuff

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sagan really raced this race in a boring and kinda negative way. No aggression while still having teammates to tow the likes of Valv and Kwito in when they go. Not very smart either.

 

[Netserk]

This is too stupid. It seriously hurts to watch.

 

[Highlander]

I just hope this is foreshadowing what Bardet can do on the cobbles in the Tour to Sky
