2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[BlueRoads]

Hm, Aldag says he got the impression Mohoric was flying a bit under the radar by purpose during the EC.

 

[tobydawq]

Since if it's anything like yesterday it's going to be a sprint and he's the nr 1 leadout in the world?

Okay, I can see that, but Denmark is going to try everything to make it as hard as possible and in that scenario, Mørkøv is unlikely to be able to survive (plus he would be detrimental to that very strategy).

 

[hammerthaim]

Lots of lone breakaways have gone this year. Excited to see how it goes down!!!

 

[T-Nielsen]

Why would a butterfly symbolize a court?
... moth, maybe.

A clever play on Papillon?

 

[BlueRoads]

Surely Pedersen is one of the few I could see beating van Aert in the final sprint today. But like the Dutch yesterday it would be quite a gamble and waste of such a strong team to go for that possibility unless it's the only one left.

Consider yourself lucky.
I have a lunch where my family is going to meet my fiancee's family before the wedding (which will take place on Lombardia's day...), so I'm only going to watch the first 60 km live and then pray nobody spoils me the result until 6 pm.

You have a big screen set up so that you can watch Lombardia at the wedding, right?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No no no, you start crying tears of joy right after Nibali wins then admit it's the happiest day of your life but little will they know the reasons why.

Nibali's already won this week; he got to meet Balsamo a few days ago!

There is enormous pressure today for Belgium to get a result - No wins in a World Championship on home roads would be a disaster.

A clever play on Papillon?

Somewhere else would be more effective, right?

Nibali attacking just as as he's about to say 'yes' and it turns into YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

Congratulations Mr SafeBet. Crazy as it sounds, you're going to have to record Lombardia and go through with the wedding.
I only just hopped on. I thought nothing would be happening but the thread had exploded over your wedding and stretching it Nibali references.

Declerq all set up for a 150km pull.

 

[Red Rick]

No name WC breakaway controlled at 3 and a half minutes

Game's gone.

 

[sir fly]

I thought Mechelen's in Germany when I was a kid.
Certainly sounds so.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Declerq all set up for a 150km pull.

It's a Quickstep thing - he's got 15 teammates in today's race

 

[RedheadDane]

Will Rory make it to the end of town?

 

[T-Nielsen]

WTF we (Denmark) be doing?

That is Belgiums job. Get your ass out the wind.

 

[BlueRoads]

Nothing againt Tim, but one thing I don't want to see during a WC is Tim Declercq at the front of the peloton. Okay, until the first Sint Antoniusberg section, but then I don't want to see him or Campenaerts there.

 

[Red Rick]

All of Slovenia taking a potty break.

 

[sir fly]

Neat bar

 

[Jagartrott]

WTF we (Denmark) be doing?

That is Belgiums job. Get your ass out the wind.

If Danish asses are in the wind, they're doing something wrong alright. Like going backwards.

 

[Salvarani]

Hayter crash.

 

[Orbit501]

Big blow for GB team with Hayter down. Think he would have been the main man today there.

 

[RedheadDane]

If Danish asses are in the wind, they're doing something wrong alright. Like going backwards.

So far, the only Dane who has his ass nose in the wind, is the one who hasn't won anything this year.

 

[BlueRoads]

Belgians are crazy.
