72nd Dwars Door Vlaanderen, 22nd March 2017, 204 km, WT

[Netserk]

If Terpstra and Stybar weren't saving themselves for the upcoming races, they would have attacked before the two groups melted together. Terpstra had a good opportunity over the top of the previous climb.

Where has Gaviria gone? Thought he was pretty strong..

This is what you get when you add a crappy race (ie. kermiskoers) to the WT when there's already 3 million similar races the coming weeks. A boring race in which no one really cares to get the leaders back.

Are we watching the same race

Re:

All of a sudden G3 has bridged to G2. They were one minute behind just 5 km ago according to GPS.

That was the peloton I think.

Yeah pretty boring with those attacks with 80 km to go.

Once Bahrain didn't get joined by any other team the race was practically over. Let's have a WT-race in Belgium every other day, yay. Luckily there's some real racing in Catalunya.

First sucess for Gilbert since 24.753 years?

Trek tweeted out that Reijnen is ok but doing x-rays to make sure.

Well okay then. I personally think the races in Belgium are the most entertaining ones (along with Paris-Roubaix) of the year. You can just not watch and go enjoy some "real racing" if you don't like it.

Sky pacing in Catalunya vs this lol visible troll

 

[SafeBet]

It looks like this is finally the year for Luke Durbridge.

Quickstep successfully using their numbers? This can't be happening

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

Lampaert has this

 

[Samamba]

Don't get me wrong, I like races in Belgium too. Races like Omloop and DDV were nice because they weren't WT - and rightfully so. Le Samyn and Dwars door West-Vlaanderen are way nicer than seeing half the peloton save themselves for races that actually matter.

They could still mess it up.

Sprinters should forget about the upcomming Flanders classics

Who was saving himself? Stybar and Terpstra also went for it, Benoot/Roelandts/Vanmarcke all got dropped... How was this race not entertaining enough. :lol:

Re:

Unless they anticipate.

And frankly, they have to.

 

[SafeBet]

It's a bit worrying to see Benoot and Vanmarcke being dropped so badly by Stybar/Terpstra.

Bahrain? I must've missed something...

Anyway, I must also have looked like an idiot what with my head wiring back-and-forth between this and Catalunya. Double-watching is rather confusing.

Trek tweeted out that Reijnen is ok but doing x-rays to make sure.

TBH, the way it looked I wouldn't really care if he's broken multiple bones.

Quick step played with them.Bora,Canon BMC not exist.Is Sagan start to worry today?

QSF have to ride agressively if they want to take advantage of their strenght and disturb Peter.
