2019 Binck Bank Tour, 12-18 August (2.WT)

[King Boonen]

So, yesterday this happened!

That's ridiculous. No way they didn't know the race was coming through.

That's ridiculous. No way they didn't know the race was coming through.

Saw some talk that he might have a disability (severe enough that he doesn't know how to cross a street safely.)
In which case, it's the responsibility of his carers to, well, take care of him! He might have learned - and remembered - that zebra crossings are the place where it's safe to cross the street, but forgotten the part where you still have to look first. Imagine if he'd done it with ordinary traffic!

 

[Flamin]

GC guys already on the move with 80k to go.

 

[wirral]

Horrible conditions.

 

[Flamin]

Elite group up the road with 50k to go: Wellens, GVA, De Plus (who instigated the move), Stybar, Clarke, McCarthy and Kragh Andersen.

De Wulf and Keisse remnants from the early break.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Gaps not huge but the leaders are the strongest

 

[Cinemaniak]

Hirschi is so ridiculously talented. Why doesn't he have his own thread on cyclingnews?

 

[Flamin]

De Plus is super strong. Wellens as well.

Hirschi follows.

De Plus should be penalized. Taking him out of the race wouldn't be that far-fetched. But at least a time penalty.

Yeah, that would be rather far-fetched.

I suspect he may be relegated on that sprint.

Plenty of talented guys don't have a thread. De Plus neither.

Because you haven't made one.

 

[Flamin]

Yeah, that would be rather far-fetched.

Not really, but nobody has the balls to do it. A sprinter gets relegated (or worse, see Sagan) if he does that at the end of the stage in a sprint.

How ironic btw that multiple riders were complaining yesterday about the safety of the route.

 

[Finn84]

Hirschi attacks on the downhill. Sounds familiar but this time it doesn't work.

 

[Cinemaniak]

Because you haven't made one.

I'm not that creative to come up with these kind of titles

 

[Scarponi]

Cortina could not hold on

 

[Flamin]

Binck Bank Tour. Ardennes stage. Wellens wins.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wellens: old fox outfoxes new fox

 

[KZD]

The better thrower won.
Just like yesterday.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Few riders have as much heart as Wellens

 

[Bushman]

Hirschi is an amazing rider. Great instincts for his age and superb technical abilities on the bike.

 

[Screecher]

Hirschi messed that up, what a weak bike throw.

 

[HelloDolly]

HIrschi can still win the overall ...he is a talent alright
