I strongly believe Sagan has been hiding his strength for this race. I hope so, he deserves more monuments on his palmares.

He should have more monuments, but no way he deserves 3 WCs. The last two were a joke.

Vanmarcke 1'30 behind.

How winning the sprinters WCRR with all elite sprinters involved can be a joke?

So if Froome wins in Insbruck it would be a joke?

Why??

Involved in a crash. Seems ok lost some extra time to adjust his bike. Bettiol seemed to be worst affected by this crash.

Re:

Quickstep mighty strong, peak Sagan, Greg the fighter, young guns Benot + Van Aert and the factor none of us or the riders have seen in Ronde before... the Voodoo .

Let the race begin!

Warm up voodoo, Sep down.

That's just Cannondale being Cannondale.

 

[vladimir]

Both Sep and Bettiol back in the peloton

Re:

Ahh, don't worry. At one point he was almost 6'00 behind in E3 and made it back.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Quik-Step and Sky want to have someone in the breakaway.

Unfortunately Sep crashing is closer to being the norm than an unusual event caused by voodoo

In the years with 8 digit as the last one - the winner has been always from... Belgium..

 

[sir fly]

Expensive TV time today.
They'll have to earn it racing hard.

 

[Laplaz]

Still no break, will be a hard day.

 

[phil-i-am]

Usually it's not taking so long to organize a breakaway in Ronde, is it? Could be such a hard race for riders.

Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

This seems to be a pattern in classics nowadays, that the break has a very hard time to establish

 

[rick james]

A wee bit of wetness is good in life

 

[rick james]

Horrible roundabout

 

[rick james]

A car on the route

Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

How on earth is it possible to live in flanderes and not notice that the ronde is taking place. What did the guy in the opel think? "All those guys standing on the side of the road are surely waiting for me"?

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

QS is cancelling all the breaks

 

[Rollthedice]

Interesting racing until now and rainy wet, no break yet.

Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

This race situation is really dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a big split in the peloton soon
