2023 National Championships

Buchmann leads by 1:37 at one lap to go.

 

[Volderke]

If Lampaert is doing this with the thought of tiring out Wout as much as possible, while also giving SQS a rest and, with that, eating into the numbers of Alpecin in the mean time, it is smart. However, I do not trust Lampaert.

Lampaert is VERY easily distracted by riding in between his fans and not remembering why he's in the race, what's his role,...

 

[JosefK]

Yves and Wout taking equal turns. Interesting. It seems doomed, but what do I know?

 

[Berniece]

I don't think Lampaert is going for solo glory. He knows that's just too difficult. Not to mention his directors are in his ear. He is riding to make sure the peloton is burning through their numbers so Remco can do an attack later, and if that doesn't work they still have a lot of people to bring Merlier in the best position.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nans Peters suddenly remembered it wasn't raining.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gewiss-FDJ.

 

[DNP-Old]

FDJ currently 1, 2 and 3 in the race.

 

[RedheadDane]

3-man FDJ TTT coming up. If Molard can catch up.

 

[carolina]

Ivo Oliveira is going to win the portuguese RR. Less then 8km to go and 3 minute advantage to the chasers.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Marc Madiot is on the phone.

 

[Ricco']

Emils Liepins wins in Latvia and Karl Patrick Lauk in Estonia.

Both wins in Lithuania

Gaudu should give it to Madouas as a thank you for the later saving the former at last years tour multiple times

 

[AlfaLum]

Gaudu should give it to Madouas as a thank you for the later saving the former at last years tour multiple times

Gaudu should win it himself. He doesn’t win that much, he can use the French jersey in the Tour at a confidence boost and it is commercially most interesting for FDJ to have your captain riding in the jersey in the biggest race of the year.

Edit: well never mind. Typical Gaudu.

 

[carolina]

It's also more pressure for Gaudu.

 

[Dk one]

She is at it again, Cecilie ‘“nobody likes her” Uttrup Ludwig - out there doing unlikeable things!!!

 

[DNP-Old]

Gaudu dropped.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It's also more pressure for Gaudu.

He‘s also done.

 

[RedheadDane]

Emils Liepins wins in Latvia and Karl Patrick Lauk in Estonia.

Both wins in Lithuania

Which Lithuanian won in Lithuania?

For the first time since 2010, the Slovak Champion is not named 'Sagan'.

And Gaudu is gone from the front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Madouas is awesome, the strongest in the race by some distance

 

[Red Rick]

It's also more pressure for Gaudu.

Should just never win then.

 

[carolina]

Should just never win then.

well, it wouldn't be the first time a french rider, leading a french team during the tour feels extra pressure.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Madouas the ultimate diesel will win this bike race.

 

[Samamba]

French one is actually awesome. Looked like a 1 2 3 for FDJ and now only Madouas left (the one who's rumoured to maybe be leaving FDJ)

 

[Samamba]

Arkea completely gone too after having like 7 guys in the original break.

Gallopin turning back the clock.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Trek truly are the finest French team in the peloton
