6th Dwars door Vlaanderen - A travers la Flandre WE (1.Pro): 29/3

[Samu Cuenca]

Berteau has been good on the track this year, but I doubt she'll be able to hold on and take the Victoire.

 

[BR2]

I have a few riders in the front groups on my cqteam! Only this race doesn't count, so whatever... May the best win, I guess...

 

[RedheadDane]

Group 2 getting closer.

 

[RedheadDane]

Group 2 caught them.
Vos and Reusser countered.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Reusser putting the hammer down on Cille's tyre pressure.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rüegg out of control...

 

[Didinho]

5 chasers. Vollering, Makaij, Lippert, Van Anrooij and Moolman-Pasio.

Back together. Trek working, but these 2 in front will be hard to close down.

 

[RedheadDane]

Vos and Reusser caught.

 

[RedheadDane]

Vollering solo in the front.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It looks like it's over now. Too many teams esed energy on closing down the other attacks.

 

[Volderke]

Movistar chasing Movistar...

 

[RedheadDane]

This time she's not sprinting against her teammate.

 

[F_Cance]

the moto help in both races today was even more insane than usually

 

[theyoungest]

That was quite the attack by Vollering. Vos was quite good, but these days she tends to blow up a lot quicker than she used to. I think that's why she got a second operation on her artery, but I'm not sure it has really changed much.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A whole of swerving from Consonni, but she was the fastest in the sprint.

 

[yaco]

Longo-Borghini was a beast, especially considering it was her first race back from COVID - It was the best sprint Roseman-Gannon has done in this company.

Longo Borghini was surprisingly strong, but a shame that Trek kept being on the back foot throughout.

But what's the harm in just having a shared thread?

for me its because I dont want to trawl through 10 pages of chat about the mens race, to find the few people saying wow look at Vos go there and chat about the womens race.

I prefer the split threads so I can follow the thread of conversation relevant to the right race better

I just jump to the last page of threads. That way I'll get straight to the relevant stuff.

 

[Didinho]

Gutted for Consonni, she rode very defensively but so smart. Saw that she had something left for the sprint, looked really strong. Would love to see her try and follow some breaks but tactically she was perfect.

The strongest won in the end, a 4th favorite in her own team for the Ronde. Vos also impressive for her 2nd race.

 

[BR2]

4 riders in the top 10! Oh well...

 

[BR2]

It seems Bäckstedt is adjusting nicely to the WT now...

 

[theyoungest]

It seems Bäckstedt is adjusting nicely to the WT now...

This is not a WT race. It is her best race so far, that's true.

 

[RedheadDane]

It seems Bäckstedt is adjusting nicely to the WT now...

Too early to make a "Zoe is the new Bäckstedt" thread? Or would you just complain about that thread title too?

I am going to complain about every "xy is the new ab just with different letters" thread from now on! But especially for French riders!
