2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[limak_]

Honestly, what was the idea behind having Remco attack so soon? Creating chaos? I can't see any other reason for that.

 

[noob]

I love them not having team radio. But too bad for Italy

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Nice motorpacing. Amateurs.

 

[topcat]

You've caught it.

I also got the tv. The kids didn't even put up a fight. Kids today are soft. The hurricane should toughen them up a bit.

 

[sir fly]

I don't think the Belgians have the upper hand at the moment.

 

[Volderke]

No fun being an Italian at the moment. They really should have gotten someone in one of the breaks…Ofcourse they already had bad luck.

 

[noob]

But Tim will.
Obviously they are betting on this not being the move... but good enough so that most nations won't do something anymore until shortly before the finish... then they can bring it back together and Wout wins.
Hm. I guess that's their thinking.

They might be trying to wear Italy down?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Outside of the crashes, Denmark need to be delighted with this. They've probably got the two best riders in that group for winning today.

With four hours left of the race, I'm afraid it's too early to have Asgreen and Cort out there.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

I think it is to early for the riders at the front as long aa italy is chasing.

They could do with Ganna right now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

They might be trying to wear Italy down?

Yes.

 

[BlueRoads]

They might be trying to wear Italy down?

I don't think that was exactly their plan, but it's not necessarily a bad situation for them.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Jambaljamts Sainbayar TV time!

 

[yaco]

Surely, Holland has to help pacing the peleton.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Guys at the back of the second group are having a free ride while Remco is killing himself. Really puzzling tactics.

 

[Faserr]

Evenepeol droping his mate

 

[BlueRoads]

A break with Evenepoel, Cort, Asgreen, Cosnefroy, Roglic... amazing.

 

[Valv.Piti]

God I love Remco Evanepeol.

 

[BlueRoads]

Guys at the back of the second group are having a free ride while Remco is killing himself. Really puzzling tactics.

Well, he's clearly not riding for himself.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Nobody knows what Evenepoel is doing.

 

[Kangaridoo]

I'm really worried how much vaccination propaganda have spread so easily and uncritically in Europe... Keep this thread free of this farse please and just enjoy cycling at its best today.

Yea restrictions aren't directly tied to vaccinations however much that narrative is presented and digested by the public.

Lots of different sentiments and motives at play in the political response to assume causation.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I don't think that was exactly their plan, but it's not necessarily a bad situation for them.

Not Italy per se, but sprinters they don't want in the final as well, like Ewan.

 

[glassmoon]

Italy moto paced the whole time... ffs

 

[titan31]

With four hours left of the race, I'm afraid it's too early to have Asgreen and Cort out there.

Probably but that group if they work together or even if half of them work together, and Italy are the only team chasing, they won't be caught. There's guys who won't ride there of course but theres enough there who think they can win that should be.

 

[Breezy1985]

Nobody knows what Evenepoel is doing.

160km solo attack

 

[limak_]

So Remco thinks that it's a great idea to rip his companions on every single berg? Declercq reaction was gold

 

[noob]

Evenepoel angry already :O
