61st Eschborn-Frankfurt, WT classic, May 1st

[Netserk]

Big gap for Christen. Still Powless pacing behind?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

UNO X impressive

It seems like they have only Abrahamsen left with Kristoff now tho.

 

[Netserk]

Compact chase group, Higuita attacks and Gee & Powless go with him.

Kristoff is minutes behind in the Grupetto

 

[search]

The peloton with Kristoff and Zingle is at +2:40.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No one‘s is gonna want to help Nys behind. I think he‘ll make it.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Kristoff is minutes behind in the Grupetto

Ah lol, I just tuned in and they showed a group lead by Abrahamsen with Kristoff struggling a bit behind.

But then some are with Wærenskjold instead.

 

[Netserk]

~23 riders in the chase group.

 

[Salvarani]

I like that the graphic is in German.

 

[Salvarani]

Go Christen!!

 

[Squire]

Several teams with good numbers. They will help eventually.

 

[Netserk]

Organised chase now, "bunch" sprint in the cards.

 

[Samamba]

Yeah we're getting a sprint, not like in previous editions with a lot of sprinters, but still with some fast guys.

 

[Netserk]

Eiking, Hoelgaard and Holter for Uno-X.

 

[Samamba]

Eiking, Hoelgaard and Holter for Uno-X.

Yeah not a fast guy after all.

So Nys vs. Laurence then? Or a surprise.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Eiking, Hoelgaard and Holter for Uno-X.

Yeah where did Wærenskjold go? None of these can sprint.

 

[Netserk]

Time is correct, ~27". Not impossible.

 

[Squire]

Yeah not a fast guy after all.

So Nys vs. Laurence then? Or a surprise.

Laurance is not there. It's Kragh Andersen and Vergallito for Alpecin.

 

[Samamba]

It is 1v2... so if no one comes to help it is possible maybe. But Bora will probably come helping at some point even tho they can't win.

There's absolutley no way 1 Trek and 1 Alpecin can control this till the end.

 

[Netserk]

Even if they can't win a sprint, teams with numbers should pull him back so they can attack. I think Bora will lend a hand in 5 km.

 

[Squire]

Bora, EF, Uno-X will obviously start riding at some point. They're waiting for Trek and Alpecin to tire themselves so that Nys/Kragh can be attacked.

 

[Faserr]

Bora and Co want to isolate the fast guys.

 

[Netserk]

Thought Bora would pull before Uno-X.

 

[Squire]

Thought Bora would pull before Uno-X.

Uno-X are often a bit too 'honourable' for their own good.

 

[Netserk]

Gap is ~25".
