2023 Brabantse Pijl, April 12th

Congratulations to Dorian Godon for taking the win.

That was a stomp.

Please check your email. Roglic his lawyers have reached out with a cease and desist for using trademark property in relation to other riders.

Great ride by Godon and Healy. I didn't mind the tactics. Healy was all out of bullets by the end, sometimes when you're spent sitting on and trying to outsprint the rider with the better kick works, a la Pidcock last year or Asgreen at de Ronde.

Fun fact: when Healy was in high school, he made his beer money while on holiday in Spain by babysitting. One of the kids he babysat became a pro rider. His name is Oscar Sevilla.

Expected De Lie to at least get 1st from the bunch tbh.

At least? (Where is the emoji with one eyebrow held high?)

If he somehow managed to sprint past Healy and Godon, he would have finished minus 1.

Cosnefroy is looking good for Amstel which I think suits him better than Fleche or LBL.

 

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Frankly I expected more from Bagioli.

Yeah, but 8th is still nice. I hope he scores big, the next 1.5 weeks. Could achieve four Top-10s now, in Brabantse Piil, AGR, FW and LBL. I hope he has improved for these hilly 250k+ races. Until now he was better rather in races of max. 200k…

I don't expect him in the top 10 of Liège tbh.

He'll probably be working for Remco. That said, how strong will the field actually be, besides Remco and Pogacar?

Some special scenarios needed for Amstel, even more special for LBL, and specials just don't happen in Flèche anymore.

It's going to the standard strong field minus any injured riders.

No WVA or MVDP but it's hard to see past Remco or Tadej for LBL.

Huh? Oscar Sevilla could be Ben Healy’s dad. Or was it Ben Healys grandpa who was babysitting?

Time traveller confirmed!

Oscar Sevilla was nicknamed 'El Niño' because of his baby-face looks. Maybe Ben Healy thought he was a baby.

Would love to hear exactly what was said by Godon when his little workmate wouldn't pull through and the drag race finish and victory celebration was great!! Good race all around..

 

[Barkintheeye]

Tough spring for Soudal Quickstep. All hope goes to Remco for LBL

I hope he said 'thank you for your help today'.

Must win. Pressure is on.

 

[Netserk]

So Lotto chased too late to catch the first three from the break, but still rode hard enough to catch Kron (who would have been 4th if they didn't chase). The perfect example of falling between two stools.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He'll probably be working for Remco. That said, how strong will the field actually be, besides Remco and Pogacar?

I expect it to be significantly stronger than here in addition to Remco and Pog. To be honest, i think the chances of him finishing top 10 to be lower than him finishing outside the top 20.

At the moment his endurance in +250km one day races is still a big question mark, so I don't really disagree.

I hope he said 'thank you for your help today'.

Maybe but it didn't look like " thank you ".." -----you" either way he won!! All in fun

Couldn't find the video, but here's a still frame from when he was telling the story.

And here's Sevilla a couple of weeks ago with two other erstwhile aspiring cyclists who also used to babysit him way back when.

I had the opportunity to watch the Tour de France this year, and I was blown away by the excitement and athleticism of the competition. The riders are some of the most fit and dedicated athletes in the world, and they push themselves to the limit every day.


I was particularly impressed by the climbing stages. The riders had to scale some of the most challenging mountains in the world, and they did it all while riding in the saddle. It was incredible to see how they could maintain such high speeds and power for such long periods of time.


I also enjoyed the team dynamics of the Tour de France. The riders work together to help each other succeed, and it was great to see how they supported each other throughout the race.


Overall, I had a great time watching the https://richpalmscasino.bet/ Tour de France. It is a truly inspiring competition that showcases the best of human athleticism.

How can a bot watch a race?

So, you're a human spamming? And you don't even know what race thread you're posting in... this has nothing to do with the TdF.
