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

[Bolder]

I take it back. Maybe Wout was so scared of Laporte that he just decided it wasn't even worth trying to sprint against him...

 

[RedheadDane]

It's official; Movistar is now a cobbled team.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Came here to see if there was a stupid post about Wout. Wasn't disappointed.

 

[BR2]

Every race, people complain about the motos. Maybe time to realize that’s one of the benefits of attacking? There’s gonna be a camera on the leader(s), folks.

If it was always on the attacker I would love that. But it's not.

In this case though it didn't matter much, he would have won anyway.

 

[repre]

Stuyven has worse luck than Vanmarcke this year.

Took him in fantasy, can't blame the guy...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lazkano, what a beast!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lazkano opened some Dwars for himself today

You know the second word in the race name is literally 'door', right?

It was the normal course of events after QuickStep became a GC team

 

[Didinho]

Lefevere learning Spanish immediately!

Gaviria to win P-R.
Let's destroy all stereotypes now we're at it.

 

[Danskebjerge]

If Campanaerts hadn't crashed out of that race couple weeks ago, kristoff would have won today

Jumbo always win.

 

[Ricco']

New spin-off for one of top-watched docu series of the decade:

Los Adoquines Menos Pensados

still some footage to be recorded, like Gaviria top-5 in RvV and Mathias Norsgaard winning Roubaix.

[Potomac]

Clearly, Powless was holding back and saving it for Sunday.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Took him in fantasy, can't blame the guy...

Yes, the curse of the CQgame. It was also obvious that the second group would not succeed properly bridging & hanging on as it had two of my CQ riders in it (Narvaez, Honoré).

 

[Nick2413]

At this point all I care about on Sunday is for anyone to stop Wout and JV from sweeping all 4 of the hilly races. It’s getting gross.

If it was always on the attacker I would love that. But it's not.

It’s always on the leader.

 

[BR2]

It’s always on the leader.

No, often enough it is next to him, which doesn't help. And then there's a moto right in front of the peloton. Depends on who it is, where the big names are, and what the roads are like.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Lazkano looks so like (a young) Mac from It's Always Sunny

 

[yaco]

Jayco pretty much last to contribute to the chase, again.

Exclude Astana, And then Jayco have by far the worst cobbled classics squad in the WT peleton - It's Matthews first ride since COVID, so he's not 100%, so why would you have O'Brien always on the front - O'Brien did some stints at the front.

I love how Movistar is now better at cobbled races than the mountain ones.

I don't know which team needs to get the loser award today too, too many possibilities.

Trek maybe with their gimmick in the beginning of the broadcast and then waiting a bit before helping Lotto to chase.
UAE with those Chasse Patates instead of just helping the peloton close down the gap.
All those teams apart from Jumbo in the break that don't seem to know those guys in Yellow and Black.
Alpecin for betting on Hermans just to win the sprint for 4th place with Philipsen.
All those other teams that didn't want to help Lotto chasing till it was too late. Thinking about Bora, Bahrain, Israel, Jayco (ok Obrien did for a bit but too late) and even QS who all had a somewhat fast guy and a domestic still in the group. Guess they all prefer getting 19th over a 7th place or something like that. Ridiculous, but to as expected.

FDJ also kinda messed up in the group once Lazkano and Kristoff were caught, despite having numbers. At least EF went on the attack.

 

[Sciatic]

Lazkano to win.

Impressive second though!

I like FDJ, they're doing a good job the last couple of years with recruitment and stuff, but they deserve a spanking today.
