2021 World Championships in Flanders: Road Races

[F_Cance]

so sad that stuyven has to ride for wout who does not have it today

 

[dgodave]

Wow what a moment for snack time

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I think that Colbrelli will have to play this one offensively if he wants to win. He's not beating Van Aert in a sprint. I hope he doesn't put too much faith in his sprint, but I fear that he will.

 

[meat puppet]

Is WvA gambling on team strength?

Seemed that way but what do I know. Basically reverse engineering the olympics tactics.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert will run out of teammates in Leuven at this rate.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

or pulling a Superman

I didn't see him climb off and start fighting with either spectators or DSes?

 

[Salvarani]

Wout has to close it down himself.

 

[Andy262]

And there's still 50 km of this to go!

 

[Netserk]

Quite possibly, I didn't get to catch that one live unfortunately, and rewatching it knowing the result takes away the same level of suspense as seeing it live.

I also think 2010 was better than 2013. But my memory is rather foggy at this point.

 

[burning]

VVA looks a bit underwater to me, or maybe he is bluffing.

 

[gunara]

You just don't drop Colbrelli, do you

 

[Red Rick]

Probably since 2013? Maybe 2009.

I don't remember the early laps of 2009, but 2013 surely wasn't better than this?

 

[gregrowlerson]

You're the guy at the right.

Just like how Red Rick likes his winners....solo.

 

[Samamba]

Evenepoel vs. Colbrelli, fight to the death

 

[Netserk]

Colbrelli ready to body-check Bambi.

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert doesn't like to suck Evenepoels wheel

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I think that Colbrelli will have to play this one offensively if he wants to win. He's not beating Van Aert in a sprint. I hope he doesn't put too much faith in his sprint, but I fear that he will.

Colbrelli doesn't need to rely on his own sprint with Nizzolo there, though.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Remco's bike handling must have improved, he avoided the infamous Colbrelli bump.

 

[Bolder]

Alaf may not be in the best form but he's once again forced the action.

 

[BlueRoads]

The Italians are sick these days, and I'm not talking about a virus.

 

[limak_]

Stuyven pulling his MSR once again? Why not.

 

[Mayomaniac]

The Italians are sick these days, and I'm not talking about a virus.

We already lost Ballerini and Trentin early on, but the rest of the team is outstanding!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Colbrelli doesn't need to rely on his own sprint with Nizzolo there, though.

That's true, yeah. Good point. That'll increase the chance that Colbrelli does go on the offense.

 

[Rackham]

WvA will not win this. He can't shut down everyone with what little team he has left.

 

[fbjim]

incredible. Matthews is already set up to win a consolation sprint
