2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[Jagartrott]

Riders we have hardly seen and are therefore dangerous: Kristoff, Senechal, Sagan, Pidcock, Valgren.

Unless I haven't seen them because they are already out.

Maybe Bagioli can on those short climbs, but we don't know a lot about his endurance.

And van Baarle for sure.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Italy and Australia can be happy with the kind of riders that they have in this group and Spain lacks other options.

 

[BlueRoads]

Ala is the touchiest rider.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Benoît Cosnefroy is becoming the man Ángel Madrazo could have been.

 

[Netserk]

Motoric attack incoming soon.

 

[Mayomaniac]

And van Baarle for sure.

Yes, him and Rob Stannard are also dangerous.
I wouldn't underestimate Politt on the cobbled climbs, he loves a hard race.

 

[Volderke]

Attack on the next hill in 3, 2, 1… by the Belgians?

 

[Breezy1985]

Is old man Sagan still in the group?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Time for a Van der Poel-attack.

Valgren was dropped earlier anyway

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Valgren was dropped earlier anyway

He was? When?

 

[RedheadDane]

Valgren was dropped earlier anyway

He was in the favourite group coming up the climb before.

Doesn't look very dropped to me.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I think Evenepoel is the only one in the world who didn't get the "Van Aert is our sole leader"-memo. No more gifts.

 

[Netserk]

Piss or get off the pot, Rogla.

 

[Red Rick]

Roglic gonna ride for Van Aert any time now

 

[limak_]

What about some favourites jumping across to the front group?

Michał, I know you know that you're my favourite, but that might have been little bit too soon man.

 

[titan31]

He was? When?

He was dropped on the first Flandrien circuit I think. It was around when Moscon had a flat and Ballerini was distanced after working on the front. It went back to a group off the back and Ballerini, Valgren, Scotson were in that group

 

[Netserk]

Wasn't it Valgren who bridged to Kwiatkowski just before?

 

[BlueRoads]

I don't have a good overview. Pogacar is there and hasn't done any work, has he?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

He was dropped on the first Flandrien circuit I think. It was around when Moscon had a flat and Ballerini was distanced after working on the front. It went back to a group off the back and Ballerini, Valgren, Scotson were in that group

Thanks, I didn't notice that. From what I can read, he had a mechanical then.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wasn't it Valgren who bridged to Kwiatkowski just before?

Yes.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Tense battle between Evenepoel and Belgium now.

 

[Samamba]

How mad is Lefevre right now? Lampaert trying to catch Evenepoel and Bagioli

 

[titan31]

Ah was it. I went back on the feed and at 152.6km to go, he's off the back
