76th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad: February 27, 2021

[Samu Cuenca]

There is definitely a Geniets rider in that jersey right now!
And a Majerus rider. I think if she were to not win hers, then the World would probably implode...

So she has to ride forever or the world ends?

 

[Wvv]

Greg Van Avermaet's reliability in classic races is admirable.

 

[fuiers]

Commentators saying that no oned would be daft to attack now, 1 sec later Alaphillippe attacks. He makes me smile everytime

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

New guy in the cockpid of the chasers.

 

[Keram]

Ala winning move?

 

[Fernandez]

Alaphilipe cant stand himself

 

[Wvv]

Alaphilippe is gone. But too soon, I think.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The gap from Alaphilippe, Van Aert and Van der Poel to everyone else is far too big these days. Can only hope that he's attacked too soon.

 

[Fernandez]

What a great world champion this guy is

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ala with a 6sec gap atm.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Alaphilippe not messing around. Or rather, he is. But damn he's good this year.

 

[fuiers]

Pidcock looks so good. Even GVA is struggling to keep up.

 

[Pantani_lives]

If one of those little guys from DSt goes, the others can block the race. This might be over.

I spelt Jungels wrong too, hopefully nobody noticed, don't drink and post is the lesson.

Julian is gone, too long perhaps

 

[fuiers]

Adam Blythe with a pretty decent Sean Connery impression.

Yeah, but with Ballerini and Stybar in the chasing group the others will be reluctant to fully commit to the chase.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Stybar down, by Ballerini?

 

[Wvv]

Ballerini gasping for air, forcing Stybar to fall down, and Alaphilippe's gap is dropping.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Stybar down, by Ballerini?

To me it looked like Stybar got distracted for a moment.

 

[fuiers]

Ala even dropped that guy riding an e-bike

 

[Fernandez]

Julian has sacrificed himself for the team

 

[TomLPC]

Stybar crash, difficult to see from this angle

It was a good move from Alaph with 2 teammates but the crash totally *** QS

[fuiers]

Pidcock needs to attack now.

 

[Carols]

All together!

 

[TMP402]

All that corner cutting!

 

[Bonimenier]

Pretty exciting sprint classic.
