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

[Carols]

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.

Yep, yesterday and today as well as one UAE stage during the week. Alas I'm in the USA so it's Tiz for me instead of the service I paid for

Gap growing slightly. Not going down in any case.

Will it maybe be 2026 when the others realise that it's not a good idea to let MvdP get a gap even if it's early?

Gap growing slightly. Not going down in any case.

Just a matter of time. Mathieu is doing 50% of the work, you could see when Teuns attacked, the tempo in the back is rather laidback, those guys are keeping calm. Even the peloton is coming back now (30s behind 2nd group).

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Second peloton is closing the gap, this may yet be a sprint.

Well not if the second peloton shatters.

 

[RedheadDane]

Some splitting action in the peloton.

True that.

 

[Spine Concept]

Going down now because of an attack.

Mathieu doing ALL the work in front. Smh.

 

[Spine Concept]

He can still win if he waits for the other group...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

24 seconds (counted)

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

"peloton" (15 guys)

 

[Pantani_lives]

Is captain Merlier still in G3?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

GCN on now

 

[Samamba]

The 3rd group is coming back.

 

[fuiers]

I havent been watching that long, but I reckon that MVDP is gonna beat everyone in sprint.

 

[Pantani_lives]

If Mads Pedersen wins this MvdP will be accused of riding too conservatively.

 

[KZD]

Unfortunately I think that MVDP is going to get caught now that the two groups are joining.

Was just about to post that. He did single-handedly make the KBK more watchable than the Omloop. Credit to him.

 

[Samamba]

Weird race today

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Strong showing from the Uno-X team

 

[Spine Concept]

Great effort Mathieu. Chapeau.

 

[Bonimenier]

Pathetic performance from Mathieu. Not even able to finish a 80km attack.

Over the hill imo.

Shaping up to be a bunchsprint. Hoping Merlier.
