77th Dwars door Vlaanderen - A travers la Flandre ME (1.UWT): 29/3

[BR2]

I mean sure if this was a 40 man group, but it's 20. And Van Poppel... He can find his own way. Group literally would've catched them if Trek, Bora, UAE and Jayco immediately started helping Lotto in the beginning, now they won't.

For me UAE's fail is the biggest. Then Trek's, but maybe they exhausted themselves by... whatever play they were enacting earlier.

 

[BR2]

If Lazkano or Kristoff take this, though...

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

What a weird race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is the GPS deceiving us or are Kristoff and Lazkano extending their lead? This not coming back together would be hilarious.

Me, earlier: I don't need to see the break away in this race!

 

[Salvarani]

Kristoff might still win if they get caught

 

[Samamba]

How are those 2 holding on to that lead. Impressive.

 

[Didinho]

Kristoff is a couple days too early with his impressive ride.

 

[Bolder]

Kristoff is a couple days too early with his impressive ride.

Was just about to say that. He's strong like bull today. Too bad he may be caught at the 5 km marker...

 

[DNP-Old]

Kristoff is definitely top 10ing again on Sunday, might even be more. He is still absolute world class when it comes to endurance.

 

[Billie]

there's a lot of smaller punchers in that second group. Kung the only top class rouleur.

 

[Salvarani]

G2 just not working atm. Benoot, Powless and Küng better start going full gas.

Better chance if peloton catches them.

 

[Didinho]

This false flat would be a better moment for Wellens.

 

[Samamba]

Lotto teammates are gone. Other teams really need to come now

 

[Samamba]

I think the false flat killed the peloton

 

[Salvarani]

Kristoff might have to attack if he has more to give.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

After all that, a minute of 3-4% 'climbing' may have swung this.

 

[RedheadDane]

Group 2 getting closer to group 1.
Peloton was getting closer to group 2, but not so much more.

 

[Samamba]

Someone explain Bora & Politt to me

 

[red_flanders]

Bravo tot the break! Mighty effort.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This may be too early to be playing games...

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

This is hilarious carnage now.

FFS just as I write that Laporte is gone

 

[DNP-Old]

Race over.

 

[Salvarani]

Winning move

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Laporte to win, peloton to sprint for second?
