2018 Tour of Flanders

[tomorrow]

Re:

Who's the sky rider up front? Moscon?

Van baarle

 

[alspacka]

Been a long time since Kristoff showed form enough to get crest the final combo with the best. I wouldn't be too concerned about him. Demare, maybe.

 

[Flamin]

Great work from Oss, riding a constant high pace.

Re: Re:

Anyone else shocked by Nibali?

I'm not, he's shown in the past that he can ride cobbles.

Yeah but the issue with Ronde is more the hills and the narrow roads rather than technique.

Okay, Nibali has proven in the past that he can ride cobbles, hills and narrow roads. I'm not surprised he's doing so well.

I agree, but Nibali struggles on really steep, short hills. He's been good here, though, apart from the paterberg.

Like DFA said, it hasn't been a particularly selective race so far. Nibs probably won't be there in the end but he's doing great so far.

So who is missing? I haven't seen or heard mention of Benoot for ages. Did Nibali stick with them on Taaienberg?

Re: Re:

Only Sagan would fancy a sprint vs Demare and Kristoff. The others need to do something soon.

You don't want to take three or four Quickstep riders into the last 10km, however good a sprinter you are. Sagan will certainly try to do something on the Kwaremont or Paterberg if he has the legs.

Unless you name is Yogi and ride for team sky :lol:

You can see already he can't follow the power attacks. It is only a matter of time when one those attacks like GVA will make the final split and I'm quite sure Nibs won't unfortunately make it. Anyhow the TOP 20 that seems coming would be fantastic for him.

Both are still there

Everyone right up there. Benoot looked great on Koppenberg.

True, but Quickstep without a past it Boonen is a lot more dangerous. No-one knows who is their number one card right now - if they even have one.

They don't seem to know either with all the disjointed attacks.

 

[red_flanders]

Really can't afford to give the break too much more time...

 

[rick james]

Oss done

 

[hammerthaim]

Kwiat looks fatter than usual. Purposeful I imagine.

Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

Those three in front start to get dangerous. QS has to move now

 

[rick james]

Sagan breathing?

Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

GVA attack had an average watt of 525 watt for 1m 21 s. Can`t be true. Should be much higher.
