2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[Samamba]

No way Ewan survives a race like this

 

[Danskebjerge]

It does resemble Harrogate 2019 a little - there was a big group of top riders in a breakaway early on.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Declercq looks miffed, Remco is going to be cooked

 

[Samamba]

Evenepoel is a meme

 

[BlueRoads]

Okay I love that break but if they made it to the finish and Démare became world champion...

 

[DenisMenchov]

Well, he's clearly not riding for himself.

Yeah, but is it really worth to burn your second best rider in order to make Italy pull the peloton with their doms, all while giving some really good riders a free ride?

 

[Volderke]

Bissegger also in that group.

Well, he's clearly not riding for himself.

he’s riding for the nation of Belgium. And he’s doing a spectactular job. I just don’t know if its a good one, but its definitely entertaining!

I'd be expecting the likes of Remco, Roglic, Asgreen to burn him off when the attacks happen towards the end but if he can survive it, he likely wins alright.

 

[Salvarani]

He is working a lot in the group which should be detrimental to his chances.

But the Italians have to burn guys to bring this back.

Hard to predict what can/will happen in this race now.

 

[Breezy1985]

Haha no one wants to help Moscon

 

[BlueRoads]

My, the Italians are not lucky in this race.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Moscon no disk-brakes
fast change

V-brakes > Discs

As you've jus seen

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Can't believe Italy are spending Trentin

 

[TourOfSardinia]

My, the Italians are not lucky in this race.

not yet

 

[Volderke]

Fast wheel change by Moscon. I wonder if he used some new and modern technology like rim brakes and a quick release?

 

[Salvarani]

Can't believe Italy are spending Trentin

All in for Colbrelli

 

[JosefK]

Nobody knows what Evenepoel is doing.

Chris Horner is watching and laughing.

 

[limak_]

Can't believe Italy are spending Trentin

He already crashed, not his day. Just all in for Sonny.

 

[titan31]

Ganna would have been so much more useful here for Italy than Bagioli or Ullissi.

 

[Danskebjerge]

If the Slovenians won't work in the breakaway, I don't think it will last.

 

[BlueRoads]

But I have to say, it were the French who initiated this, right? With all the mocking Voeckler gets he's a great national coach.

 

[Breezy1985]

Is there a group ahead of Remco ?

 

[RedheadDane]

I just realised what happened!
Everyone was told; "You have to open it on the Flandrien Circuit!" They just missed the part where it was the second time on the Flandrien Circuit.

Is there a group ahead of Remco ?

I think some part of the morning break still remains.

 

[Orbit501]

Asgreen and MCN up front, too early.
Pedersen and Kron down. Valgren off the back.

Honore it is then
