2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[BlueRoads]

He knows what he has to do to get away from the nervous fight for position

That's what I thought, too. He will attack at the start and be the last man standing in the end...

Ayuso dropped btw

Back in the main bunch, according to Tissot. So maybe just caught behind a crash.

 

[BlueRoads]

I know there are a lot of narrow streets and these riders are young... but could it also be that the lack of U23 races or lack of racing in general during the Corona times has had an influence?

 

[Volderke]

Ayuso dropped btw

He was named as being in the front group at the moment.

He was named as being in the front group at the moment.

Yep, he's back in, just saw him. Couple of minutes ago he was in a second group, when Baroncini was down.

Time for Belguim to start doing some work. If they have any riders left?

 

[Volderke]

I fear, looking at the names in front, that it could well be the winning move.

[Volderke]

This race will be collectively known as "de schaam van Belgie"

 

[RedheadDane]

Strong front group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would not be surprised if Belgium messes up the men's race in a similar way by being too focused on a sprint with Van Aert tbh.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The Dutch should probably start helping the Belgians and the Danes at some point, cause it will be difficult for Hoole to win this.

 

[BlueRoads]

The Germans are doing absolutely nothing.

 

[Volderke]

Vermeersch hesitates to pull because he is afraid he will drop the other Belgians?
Nys and Co should stick to the wheel of Vermeersch.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

This race will be collectively known as "de schaam van Belgie"

That's Genk.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, while I'm generally okay with WT riders doing the U23 race, seeing a Giro stage winner play with the others is a bit weird.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Belgium sleeping again

 

[glassmoon]

Go Mauro!

 

[postmanhat]

Vermeersch should just ride for himself. Nys isn't going to win this

Edit - Didn't realise there was so little climbing left so he could still do it I suppose

 

[Volderke]

Courageous ride by Hoole (and the Dutch in general)

 

[Bonimenier]

Vermeersch should just ride for himself. Nys isn't going to win this

The way this is going I think Nys actually has a chance

 

[Alexandre B.]

A Grand Tour stage winner will win a race for amateurs?

 

[Red Rick]

This circuit is ideal for moto pacing?

 

[noob]

If this becomes sprint how many will go down...

 

[Red Rick]

People crossing the road on the final circuit really bothers me.
