2019 Strade Bianche, March 9th, 184 km 1.WT

[fuiers]

Van Aert is really pushing for that final.

 

[spalco]

Van Aert winning this would be awesome, Fuglsang+Alaphillipe are kind of annoying me.

 

[TomLPC]

Van aert catches up... and attacks

 

[Vesica]

Wout is back!

 

[Climbing]

Nah not a chance.

 

[TomLPC]

Handed him that on a plate

 

[spalco]

Eeeasy...

Brave ride by Van Aert, but it was always Alaphilippe's race to lose.
Congrats.

 

[Red Rick]

Good job Ala

 

[Akuryo]

Alafpolak!!! And another one for the Wolfpack.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Aert will be happy.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Fuglsang waited too long, should have gone from the bottom.

Dammit, 2 second places today.

 

[Vesica]

Fuglsang dumb as f*ck. Rookie mistake.

 

[Carols]

Alaphilippe!!! How much could one make by just betting on QS race after race?

 

[fuiers]

What final. Van Aert a real fighter to get that gap back. Good race from Alaphillippe and Fuglsang. Bravo!

What an epic finale, not because a French won but because I don't remember anyone (last 3 editions) winning when arriving second at the crest of the last "muur"
What a great rider, he can do it all!

I wonder who will be the first rider to complete the March Italian triple: Strade Bianche - Tirreno - MSR

Alaphilippe said that MSR is also one of his main goals of the season but Tirreno could be hard.

Definitely. Basically the last 'Flandrien' surviving. Fuglsang and Alaphilippe are more climb-classic riders ofcourse.

Van Aert looked a level better than Omloop. Very promising for his further classics campaign.

Stybar passed GVA in the same place Ala passed Fuglsang.

Nibs in the chase group earlier on:

The route of Tirreno-Adriatico is perfect for Alaphilippe, so SB-TA-MSR treble is definetly possible.

Good win for Ala & QS - he had it when Fuglsang could n't drop him before last climb. Van Aert showed he can fight back.

We could be seeing a lot more of this Astana versus QS contest this year.
