Re: Re:

Terpstra has shown decent form, but not last year. But yeah, he is capable.

He did solo to Vlaanderen last year, though.

I think he forgot the word "like" in his statement.

Or maybe he meant bad instead of decent. We may never know.

I can not go to sleep until this is resolved!

Or he meant Aru instead of Terpstra.

For the love of God can Dekker take us out of our misery already?

Getting a bit over the women’s race having issues that force the men’s to change part of the plan, they should the women’s finished hours before the men come through.

Always great watching on of the smaller teams getting a huge win. Not even from a break in a stage race, but in a cobbled classic. Chapeau MVP, good ride. Sad of WVA, that he will probabaly be overshadowed by MVP on road as well, as MVP is just more of a winner because of sprint. Jungels looks mighty strong. Maybe a candidate to win all 5 monuments before he retires. He is not really suited to MSR but it is a race where a lot of riders can win, so it is not like he dosn't have chance. Also while he is at quickstep, he is lucky with chances to anticipate, and he has shown time after time that he is one of the strongest riders in the peloton in medium hard terrain. In my opinion he should drop Grand Tours totally, but then again if Wiggins could make the change, Jungels could probably to if he went to SKy.

Chapeau MvdP & Turgis (who had him down for a podium spot?) .

The issue was an ambulance going down the route in the opposite direction.

Jungels to win all 5 Monuments :lol:
Let's not get carried away...

Re:

Ofc he's not the top favorite to win. Others have already proven they were stronger in a harder race.

But to say he did nothing is the other end of the spectrum. He will be up there. To win he'd need to get lucky with headwind in the final or something. Because usually flanders ends in a solo and I see only stronger riders doing that.

I must've missed that.

I said he could potentially do it. One of the few riders who might be able to. Not that he is going to do it.

 

[Leinster]

I think there’s a big difference between “able to win ANY of the monuments,” and “able to win ALL the monuments.” Jungles is the former. Sagan might be the latter. If Gillbert had won Flanders a lot younger, he could be in the frame too.
