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

[Velolover2]

And now without live pictures.. So much for professional organizing.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nelson Oliveira has gone solo.

 

[glassmoon]

wtf is going on ffs?
EDIT: oh, it's back.

 

[Velolover2]

We missed Taaienberg because of the coverage. Great...

 

[Velolover2]

Nearly full peloton. Not as selective without the rain and terrible stop. Reduced mass sprint for the first time in many years?

Go Van der Poel!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

First time this year, I have seen Valgren at the front of the peloton.

First, tiny, glimmer of hope for DD?

 

[Velolover2]

Benoot was very smart to respond to Jungels.

 

[Scarponi]

Postlberger (spelling) closed that gap down big time

 

[Velolover2]

Bala at front chasing Jungels, MVDP and Benoot.

 

[rick james]

who can dry hump the top tube the best contest going on

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Oliveira punctured.

Go Van der Poel!

2016 ended in a bunch sprint.

 

[KZD]

Bad luck for Nelson. If this race continues with such a big group Kristoff may win.

2016 ended in a bunch sprint.

The year Debusschere won was more complex than that. Like GW this year.

Looks like it's only a matter of time when the groups will merge, but it looks like that for some time already...

 

[Scarponi]

Is anyone going to be strong enough to solo or small group it on one of these climbs with a peloton that big

 

[KZD]

47 seconds is a very big gap. If things continue like this Van der zpoel us the favourite in the sprint.

 

[rghysens]

vanderpoel has this.

 

[WKA311]

Jungels has to attack at some point.

 

[Velolover2]

Yeah, the break got this now. Jungels will be one of the cobbles riders to watch in the coming years.

 

[jaylew]

FdJ vs the 5 up front. No way they're going to bring it back like this. Jungels to attack at some point, Benoot to cover, MVP to win.

 

[sir fly]

The bunch is stretched, but late a bit.
Someone from the quintet will surely try his hand before the sprint.

 

[Scarponi]

They moved the three days of De Panne for this ?

 

[RedheadDane]

Did... Jungels and Van Der Poel actually attack at each side of the road?

 

[repre]

So MVDP wins easily?
