Re: 2018 Ronde van Vlaanderen

A Sky rider continuing despite an eventual inevitable disqualification ... Hmmm .... where have I heard this before.

Luke Rowe was expelled from the race, yet I still see 155 in there. Wtf?

 

[trucido]

Time for a QS special soon.

Re: Re:

That’s a joke

No it's not. He had no need to do it. He done the same thing in DDV.

many riders have went on the pavements today

Yep, they do it all the time, but that's twice now that Rowe has done it in particular dangerous positions just to gain an advantage. Jury had to start somewhere.

gain an advantage? it slowed him down, its the fans faults for going onto the road and getting in the way

 

[Vroome.exe]

Terpstra will murder them all soon.

The fans weren't on the road.

Yes, one of Skyborgs FTW!

4 danes in the first 30 right now. Looking good

Kirby claiming the wind is calm while shots of echelons and flapping flags are featuring.

 

[Flamin]

Mechanical for a Stepper??

 

[spalco]

A DQ for a quick hop on the cycling way is a harsh punishment, but necessary I think. It's gotten better, but in previous years there was a epidemic of riders doing that openly.
But I hope the commissaires take into account the difference between riders doing it for safety reasons and riders doing it to gain an advantage.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Anyone else shocked by Nibali?

 

[Orbit501]

Exactly, nor were they on the road on Wednesday. No sympathy for Rowe there I'm afraid.

in there with the fat guys

 

[Brullnux]

Colbrelli looking a lot better than last week, Kwiatkowski looks really inconsistent, and GVA is strong

 

[sir fly]

Boonenberg is the place.
An homage...

Re:

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

Haha. Rowes move was probably not intentional, but it was kinda reckless.

Bunch not too large anymore. Sagan in a good position, agreed.

 

[DNP-Old]

Really impressive from Wout once more.

 

[jaylew]

Wow, Kristoff is good today

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Here we go, the big guns are out

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Van Avermaet-berg.

Kristoff doing very well to hold on

 

[portugal11]

stupid attack by GVA

Re:

Yep, looks very dangerous imo. Not 2015 form, but they certainly need to drop him before the last Paterberg ascent.
