2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Arunburu, Simmons, Pedersen... DNF

 

[Mayomaniac]

Trentin and Ballerini dnf, not looking too good for Italy atm.
In a sprint I'd have more faith in Ballarini beatin Van Aert than Nizzolo or Colbrelli.

 

[Salvarani]

"Only" like 50-60 left in the peloton?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Caleb actually not done with yet, surprising.

 

[JosefK]

Remco back with his teammates. Only a mild scolding, it seems.

 

[BlueRoads]

He did crash earlier I believe so I hope he's ok

What? I wasn't there all the time, did I miss that?

Well, he's not with me, otherwise I wouldn't watch the race now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Another kidnapping suggestion?

Surely, that wouldn't fit very well with her - rather naïve - hope that he'll be voted the new World Champion, while they race about who'll be the new German Kansler... or something like that.

 

[Volderke]

Ewan back (for the moment)

 

[Tim Cahill]

Caleb Ewan

 

[noob]

Ewan back

 

[Samamba]

Ewan looks like he just wants to go home. He really didn't want to come back

 

[BlueRoads]

I don't really get what the Belgians are doing. Keeping the tempo high to avoid attacks? But what if they are all used up and Wout has to chase everything on his own again? Commentators here were asking whether he would attack himself from afar, but I can't believe that.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Not convived by Remco's positioning skills on the city circuit. He has to attack on the flandrian one, otherwise he might just ride tempo at the front of the bunch.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Surely, that wouldn't fit very well with her - rather naïve - hope that he'll be voted the new World Champion, while they race about who'll be the new German Kansler... or something like that.

If he wins the vote, he doesn't actually have to ride the race.

The Italians should probably try to convince Benedetti to switch allegiance again.

 

[Orbit501]

Any news on Honore since his crash with Degenkolb?

Glad Degenkolb is ok at least.

They have enough manpower to cover the attacks and I don't expect too many of them from now on, everyone is already tired.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Caleb Ewan

Caleb Ewan, 2m tall?

 

[RedheadDane]

Any news on Honore since his crash with Degenkolb?

Seen a little while ago, crossing the finish with Haas. Haas was significantly more relaxed about the whole thing.

 

[Netserk]

They punish all those who are not near the front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Caleb Ewan, 2m tall?

Same bad knees.

 

[Mayomaniac]

The Italians should probably try to convince Benedetti to switch allegiance again.

Benedetti would rather ride for Austria, or even better, the Austro-Hungarian empire. He doesn't view himself as Italian and supports the idea of an indipendent or even Austrian Trentino.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Any news on Honore since his crash with Degenkolb?

Glad Degenkolb is ok at least.

Honoré was 1'30 or so behind the peloton a moment ago.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Any news on Honore since his crash with Degenkolb?

I think it was him, who overtook Haas when he was doing wheelies.

 

[limak_]

Alaf and MvdP making sure to keep two last posiotions in the "peleton" all the time.

 

[Red Rick]

Benedetti would rather ride for Austria, or even better, the Austro-Hungarian empire. He doesn't view himself as Italian and supports the idea of an indipendent or even Austrian Trentino.

Is that a common view in Trentino?
