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

[theyoungest]

Chistophe Laporte, objectively the best cobbles rider in the world. Three podiums in cobbled classics already this year, including two wins.

And to think that actually, with Kooij's mechanical, the race didn't evolve all that well for them.

Someone explain Bora & Politt to me

I can. They were pretty much out of gas the whole day. Politt had to pull himself a lot of the splits back from 80 K out and van Poppel was completely gassed on the last climbs. They then just pretty much tried to recover and maybe tried something at the end or get a decent result in the sprint (10th at least for Politt today).

There problem is they still think they can influence races at the critical points but that is not the case. they should be in every break in every cobbled classic instead of hoping all the times that gaps come back. In the end there are just not good enough as individuals and a team to do so. But props to Politt for racing a really solid season. Outside of Roubaix he will never be a rider that can really compete for the win but his results are really good this year.

In Summary: He tries to comepte but just isn't good enough in the post-covid world. He then still try to bring a result instead of completely risk anything because Bora has no other rider if Politt is blown.

I believe most of the DSs are already doing that.

I think BR meant he would like the opportunity to yell in their earpieces himself, rather than just at his screen!

He?

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.

They can also start *** fighting like during SB...

Br is a woman I believe

He?

He/she/they

Haller is probably their best bet when it comes down to a mass sprint at the end of a hard race, he's a bit underrated. That said, I don't know about his shape right now and something like RVV is frankly too hard for him.

ooh interactive watching. considering the yelling that we do on this forum during a race... don't think it will be successful :x

Br is a woman I believe

'he' can be used to refer to a person whose gender is unspecified or unknown. (just saying )

 

[RedheadDane]

No, that's where you use "they".
At least in English.

 

[Sciatic]

Br is a woman I believe

Now I know. I thought perhaps the “BR” was for “bruh”

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He?

Her son might be kidnapping her account from time to time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Now I know. I thought perhaps the “BR” was for “bruh”

No, it's for BlueRoads.

 

[Sciatic]

No, it's for BlueRoads.

Wow, I didn’t know BlueRoads had been reincarnated!

just as an FYI: (so people are aware that 'he' doesn't necessarily mean that person finds you manly )

This ain't kosher in the age of Latinx

 

[Didinho]

Next year Remco will destroys these yellow bees in the classics.

 

[tobydawq]

Bruh moment

Do you get an alert every time the word "bruh" is posted on the internet?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Next year Remco will destroys these yellow bees in the classics.

They will be work together to chase Oier Lazkano

The funny thing is I was about to write he/she but laziness jumped in

 

[RedheadDane]

The funny thing is I was about to write he/she but laziness jumped in

Hence why you could just write "they".

 

[KZD]

Insane race from Lazkano, Kristoff looking set for another top10 at RVV and Laporte looking the strongest cobbled rider after Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pogačar.

 

[Sciatic]

Hence why you could just write "they".

I don’t want to enflame the sensibilities of some posters, but for me now “they”in the singular usually connotes a trans individual. Last week I did a research trip that included 10 hours of driving with a coworker/good friend whose daughter (who I know well) goes by “they” and it’s became normative for me now.

On this forum it’s simpler just to use a short version of the forum name than guessing at a personal pronoun
