2019 Dwars door Vlaanderen, April 3th, 182.8km (1.WT)

[Flamin]

I forgot who it was but a rider mentioned that Jungels rode away at a moment when not many could respond. Which makes more sense than anyone thinking Jungels is not a threat when he goes off the front.

Relax, he couldn't even stay away till the finish line.

 

[Salvarani]

Jungels has showed that he picks his moments to attack very well and that he goes for it. If other riders or teams dont have the numbers or energy to bring him back its difficult.

Re:

Vanmarcke is not riding.

Not a good sign in terms of recovery ahead of Flanders. He was supposed to try to be here. The cobbled campaign might be lost for him this year, I'm afraid.

on Monday he had to stop training after 10 minutes because of the pain, so it was kinda to be expected. Unfortunately.

The Terpstra formula. I can respect that.

Re:

Without Van Aert, Van Avermaet and Štybar (the three strongest riders of the spring), the race is really open.

Jungels is my favorite. He will attack from distance again. And without GVA and Sagan to set the pace, who is going to catch him?

Yep, an open race - he who dares wins might be the outcome.

 

[DNP-Old]

Mathieu will win.

 

[Laplaz]

Break of the day with 3 minutes on the peloton:

Nelson Oliveira (Movistar), Jonas Koch (CCC), Ramon Sinkeldam (Groupama-FDJ), Zhandos Bhizigitov (Astana), Lucas Pöstlberger (Bora-hansgrohe), Michael Hepburn (Mitchelton-Scott), Kris Boeckmans (Vital Concept-B&B Hotels) and Mihkel Raïm (Israel Cycling Academy)

Anyone else's Eurosport player down?

 

[Velolover2]

Valverde was a popular man at the start. Getting his own brand of beer.

 

[King Boonen]

Anyone else's Eurosport player down?

I've not even tried to start watching yet!

 

[KZD]

Quick Step has the biggest chance of win but Mathieu will also be in the mix

 

[DNP-Old]

Gilbert DNF

 

[DNP-Old]

Wait what. Deceuninck communicated that Gilbert had abandoned due to stomach problems, but he is still there.

 

[Velolover2]

What a mess. They are catching the break.

 

[AQETUYIOI]

What was that?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Amateurs! The break is undone?

Btw That's Nico Mattan on the photo next to Valverde.

 

[Laplaz]

Race neutralized. Break will be given the advantage they had before the stop I think.

 

[Salvarani]

The break not gonna get to ride away with the 2 minutes they before the peloton lol?

 

[rick james]

embarrassing

 

[Robert5091]

CHAOS! :lol:

 

[Alexandre B.]

That is painful to watch.

 

[Velolover2]

This is embracing.

Let's hope there wouldn't be a similar scenario in the real Ronde...

 

[Pantani_lives]

Pöstlberger hero of the day.

 

[rick james]

lol
