64th E3 Saxo Bank Classic: 25 March, 2022

[Boes]

Impressive ride.
If Asgreen doesn't close on the Kwaremont then it's over.

 

[Velolover2]

They are all forcing Asgreen to lead.

 

[Salvarani]

Too good.

Multiple strong riders missing in this race unfortunately.

 

[Andre]

Go Wout!!

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert should know he must keep Laporte with him.

 

[Escarabajo]

Weak Teunissen is going to be fired!

 

[JosefK]

French to the rescue.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Quickstep chose the worst possible year for the neutral viewer to tail off. Illness hasn't helped them but this was already their weakest cobbles team on paper in a good while, like I said previously, focusing on Evenepoel is crippling them.

 

[KZD]

WVV not guaranteed to win his main goals so he should take this win and not give it to Laporte

Absolutely, this is not the first Paris Nice stage in which he could still win more

 

[Escarabajo]

The climber is showing the big guys how is done!

 

[Salvarani]

Quickstep chose the worst possible year for the neutral viewer to tail off. Illness hasn't helped them but this was already their weakest cobbles team on paper in a good while, like I said previously, focusing on Evenepoel is crippling them.

Think about all the great races he won so far though. Like the EC ITT, San Sebastian and Algarve.

 

[Escarabajo]

Wout trying to get rid of his teammate so he doesn't have to gift the race to him!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Strongest in the race but I still think he might've hung himself here, reminded of Pogacar attacking several times on a 2% last week.

 

[Andre]

I would be crazy to say it..but it looks like Laporte is slowing him down

 

[JosefK]

Still some big engines in the chase group.

 

[Netserk]

Sure, everything is easier when you have plenty of watts all around, but this has been well executed by Jumbo.

 

[Sciatic]

WVV not guaranteed to win his main goals so he should take this win and not give it to Laporte

I think E3 is too much of a gem in the palmares to gift it. The list of winners is a who’s who of the best classics riders, I don’t think he would want to miss the chance to be on it.

 

[Velolover2]

The chasers are working well together.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

G2 working well

 

[Red Rick]

In 2 weeks

"It hink de Ronde is too much of a gem to gift"

 

[Netserk]

Cooperation will only get more difficult from here on for the chase group.

 

[JosefK]

gap widening slowly

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Chase might be working well but they are still losing time

 

[Vesica]

I'm very surprised that people here are surprised about AG2R. The last time Van Avermaet and Naesen won a race was back in 2019. They didn't play a role for the last year(s)/races. Best oportunity they have is De Wulf.

 

[Bolder]

Gap going up again...
