73rd Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne: 28 February, 2021

[Spine Concept]

A lot of riders still supertucking

In effect as of April?

In effect as of April?

Yes of course. It's supposedly a "transition" period now.

 

[Pantani_lives]

That guy from Alpecin must be sacrificing himself for Merlier.

 

[Spine Concept]

It’s a smart move for Aplecin though. Mathieu on the attack and Merlier for the sprint if it comes back together.

 

[Lequack]

MVDP is net getting any aero aid from the small Ineos guy.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So many big names racing extremely passively this weekend so far. Good thing we have Alaphilippe and Van der Poel.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I think Ineos is going to have a lot of fun with Narvaez, really shaping up to be a high quality rider it seems.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Is anyone else getting server failure on GCN Racepass? I want to go out and watch it in the garden instead of indoors on Eurosport.

 

[Lequack]

MVDP and co have 1:30 over the pelotn.

Van der Poel and Narvaez already caughing the break but finally the bunch seems to have waken up.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Hodeg evidently doesn't have the legs.

 

[Lequack]

I wonder if the guys in the break will go as fast as MVDP wants.

 

[Spine Concept]

Probably not.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Immagine Kirby and Blythe as a commentator duo, I don't think that I could handle that for even 1min.

Gimme Bäckstedt asap.

 

[Spine Concept]

Mathieu seemingly effortlessly riding them out of his wheel. He still needs some of them at least though.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Degenkolb looks like it's 2015.

 

[Andre]

Come on Benoot!!

 

[Spine Concept]

If I’m Mathieu I wait for the group with Degenkolb and co. The guys with him won’t help him as much as he’d like them to.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Joker disrupting the chase

 

[Spine Concept]

Should have gone with Mathieu, Theuns.

 

[Spine Concept]

No organization in the lead group. Shame.

 

[RedheadDane]

This is Trentin's chance!

Pedersen is gone.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So, Russo goes off road and can't continue because there is a problem with his bike... Did he just drop his chain, and can't these guys put their chain on anymore?
EDIT: punctured tire it seems.
