64th E3 Saxo Bank Classic: 25 March, 2022

Don't you mean WVA?

Sorry, Wout Van Valverde but he actually put in an attack today instead of wheelsucking towards a sprint and rode well with Laporte.

 

[Netserk]

In Catalunya we have sprint among climbers. That is something with more drama!!!

I'm pretty sure he was talking about yesterday's stage.

Great victory, the strongest won. Now he has Gent-Wevelgem, E-3, Omloop, Strade Bianche, Amstel and MSR. The only thing missing now is Flanders and Roubaix.

And yes, I spoke with him around 10 minutes back in 2018 in Aalborg in Post Nord Danmark Rundt. And yes, I have probably said that 10 times by now...

I wonder how much he will have left in the tank for Liège.

 

[meat puppet]

Half expecting this race to end with Laporte and Van Aert crossing the line hugging each other like Carapaz and Kwiatkowski in that Tour stage, just to twist the knife.

Good call.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Laporte won imo

The official graphic has Mohoric ahead of Girmay for 4th:

 

[RedheadDane]

I just have one question about Jumbo's antics:

Why couldn't it have been Affini taking part in the fun? Don't these guys know I have a very important CQ Classics game to... not finish dead-last in?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lol, I had a lot of work to do and missed the final 30k and I feel grateful. What a shame.

Man ag2r are useless

I dunno but he won a lot more after your talk than before

 

[Velolover2]

Feel a little bad for Narváez.

He was responsible for catching the Jumbo group, bossing it on Berg Ten Stene and after that he was still the main workhorse in the group chasing the escaping duo.

If he had saved a little energy he may had been able to get 3rd at least.

Riders are gonna be lining up in droves to get a 10-minute talk with Valv.Piti now!

Did you watch another race where Ghirmay got 3rd and Narvaez took more pulls than Asgreen and Mohoric in the chasing group?

 

[Valv.Piti]

I wonder how much he will have left in the tank for Liège.

Why do you wonder that? I didnt think he even had that race scheduled, but I guess it somewhat makes sense after they moved Roubaix.

Coincidence? I think not..

It's okay, it's a cool experience, especially after what we know now!

 

[Velolover2]

On Kwaremont, Karnemelkbeekstraat and Tiegemberg, sure. But that was unsuccessful attacks rather than pulls.

Ok well, I must have missed a lot of frames while watching then. Because my broadcast showed Asgreen and Mohoric pulling way more than Narvaez.

 

[Boes]

That Belgian Pozato guy does seem to win more than the original Italian one.

But the Italian one is way cooler.

He bridged on Eikenberg.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Speaking of Pozzato, do you guys remember that spring campain where Pozzato's only objective was to sit on Boonen's wheel? Lmao, good times, and what a rider (when he really wanted to).

 

[Sciatic]

But the Italian one is way cooler.

That’s because he didn’t wear any clothes shooting his commercials
