2020 National Championships

Yep, I can't imagine one-day race these days in which Van Aert wouldn't be an outstanding favorite.
But, wouldn't it be better for him not to ride this race just couple of days before WC, he's going full gas from the start of the season...

good thing that today is a traning ride then.

He's not riding (unless i missed some last minute change).

The generosity knows no bounds.

More and more it looks like the break might take it. 25k to go and their lead is increasing

Man, that's a lot of no names (no disrespect meant)... Only recognize Theuns and Bakelants names... Lots of the big names must be wasted so soon after the TdF.

DQS appeared to be on the front of both groups simultaneously there. I presume they aren’t pulling properly up front?

Nobody is pulling anymore, jusst attack after attack. I think the break realised they are going to make it.

Yep, they just keep attacking each other but nothing seems to stick... Thought the 4 off the front had a chance but alas it didn't last long..

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Big turn by Meurisse to bring that 4 man attack back

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Oh no Serry attacks than crashes

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

De Bondt 100m clear.

 

[richwallone]

Serry slid down on the front... The only one as he was some hundred meters ahead of the break... Looked safe, nothing serious

 

[richwallone]

I'm liking De Bondt... So far the most aggressive in this break!!!

They’d better get their act together in the chase fast

 

[richwallone]

That's a solid distance de Bondt has on the break... 12 seconds... Wow...
