2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[Scarponi]

The Forum's favourite former rider is commentating on this race for Australia; Simon Gerrans.

I'm surprised of how vocal he has already been so early. I thought he'd sit in silence throughout, only to steal Matt Keenan's mic just before the finish line

He would be pissed he could not sit in the wheels of all these blokes attacking relentlessly to come through last second and win it all.

McNulty dropped from the peloton.

Could take its toll having to close those every now and then.

[Danskebjerge]

Could this become a new Qatar for the Danes?

 

[Samamba]

If you ride for Lotto Soudal you have a 80% chance to crash out of the WC. Yesterday De Lie and Van Eetvelt, now Kron and Degenkolb. Ewan and Sweeny, watch out...

 

[Red Rick]

Before I die I will see Van der Poel well positioned in a peloton at a crucial part of the race I swear.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Schachmann & Cavendish DNF

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Has anyone seen Evenepoel lately? I can't see him in the peloton. But I guess he must be there.

 

[Tim Cahill]

No idea what they were doing picking Cav when Thomas at least has some pedigree in this type of race.

 

[Red Rick]

Schachmann & Cavendish DNF

There goes my dream of a Cavendish 30km solo win

 

[Bonimenier]

Has anyone seen Evenepoel lately? I can't see him in the peloton. But I guess he must be there.

He's somewhere at the back of the péloton.

 

[BlueRoads]

Degenkolb into hospital, but okay.

Thomas hasn't done anything in these sorts of races for many years either.
