2018 Tour of Flanders

[d-s3]

Sagan should not use Oss for pace keeping.
And he should be aggressive on hills (but possibly he did not have the legs for that).

Re:

Terpstra to have twice as many monument wins as Sagan...

That's true...also 3 WC less...

Pedersen hang on

Re: Re:

Damn, so typical of this forum, everyone* salty because their favorite rider couldn't win and decides to deride the race and racers. Terpstra gambled big time, had great legs and it paid of.

EDIT: Some*

Don't get me wrong, Terpstra and Pedersen have been great, but Sagan's tactics, for me, were wrong (again)

What could Sagan have done? Others won't ride with him and Quickstep disrupting.

He should've just followed Terpstra/Nibali when they went. The first attack was fairly weak, and if he was there then no way would Terpstra had ridden. Obviously there's every chance someone would do it again, but the only climb left was kwaremont/paterberg, and he was strong there.

This is the most absurd Captain Hindsight comment I've ever read.

Also greater cobbles rider than Gilbert.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Avermaet did it! He beat Sagan! Against all odds! Bet he's super satisfied with his riding today...

Re:

Did Terpstra spit on Nibali ? I hate Terpstra, racist *******.

Are you serious? Racist, towards an italian?

Oh well, at least there is no shortage of passion amongst cycling fans!

Brave ride from Terpstra. Grea that Pedersen held on for deserved second.

 

[Irondan]

Nibali top 20?

 

[rune1107]

So happy for Mads P.! Legend in the making

Carlton must like speedway

 

[Durden93]

Damn, I should've put a few $$$ down on Terpstra

Fewer green jerseys, too.

Great race by Terpstra. Too easy in the end for Quickstep though. Sagan looked the strongest of the rest but, as usual, his tactics were shockingly poor.

He and Sagan were the only favorites to attack today (except for Terpstra of course)? I didn't see him skip any turns or anything, he tried at least.

You need it explained to you?

 

[alspacka]

Incredible win by Nicki Pederson in his very first bike race

 

[craigmalone]

If Terpstra actually spat on Nibali, should be disqualified. Mads Pederson would be a fun winner for such a boring race.

His *** team isn't much help either..

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Despite Terpstra winning, it's hard to be really dissatisfied
