2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[Andy262]

Ok, just got back in. Where did this break up?

 

[Rackham]

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

Roglic is working, but Tratnik isn't doing much. So the Slovenian "plan" clearly favors whomever is still in the peloton (Pogacar/Mohoric).

Roglic was talking to Eenkhoorn as well (Jumbo teammate), but he's riding for MvdP.

 

[Riek s]

The only people that are really driving in the 2nd group are those who shouldn't be riding at all.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They just recognised the threat of Rory Townsend and thought holy *** we'd better get up the road.

LOL Ramco

 

[Poursuivant]

Coming back

 

[noob]

Why is Remco so angry? What does he want?/expect?

 

[Volderke]

Apologies from Eddy Merckx in tomorrow’s newspapers.

 

[Volderke]

Break is playing with the peloton (Italians)

 

[Bonimenier]

Why is Remco so angry? What does he want?/expect?

He wants more people to cooperate and apparently his whining did work.

 

[Danskebjerge]

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

Honore it is then

Yeah, it's a bit worrying for the Danish team. They wanted to make the race hard, but are Asgreen, Cort and Pedersen - the three aces - already spent?

 

[JosefK]

Italy getting flogged like mules trying to bring the flyers back.

 

[noob]

In that case I agree with him even, as I would love this break to last!

 

[wirral]

Why is Remco so angry? What does he want?/expect?

Remco does not have to answer to anyone. Remco asks why others defy him.

 

[Orbit501]

Italy getting flogged like mules trying to bring the flyers back.

And some people think others aren't riding smart.
Seems smart to me, if you're not Italy, to have the likes of Trentin flogging himself already.

 

[limak_]

Being in a breakaway instead of chasing it is the most awkward situation Declercq's been in his life so far.

 

[Cassirer]

Shouldnt it be a no brainer to have tratnik work? Roglic somehow from this Group seems more likely then pogacar with the top favorites?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

And some people think others aren't riding smart.

Making the race hard and making Italy work, is smart. Sending your top riders up the road with 170k to go, is not so smart.

 

[RedheadDane]

Gibbons not looking good.

 

[jsem94]

Pushing hard through the narrow feed zone. We're going to see more crashed, aren't we?

 

[Volderke]

Caleb ewan in first 10 of the peloton. Seemingly at ease.

I think no one has really belived in this group making it.

 

[sir fly]

I envy the crowd.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Colbrelli isn't the strongest on this parcours, if this is the tactic, then Belgium are spending their 2nd best rider and form man to tire out Trentin and Ballerini, I don't think the trade-off is worth it.

 

[noob]

Please everyone just let the tractor be world champion for the lulz and all the work he has done for all of you :
