77th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad: February 26, 2022

[Salvarani]

Hoelgaard for Trek was down.

 

[Samamba]

Van Aert having a good team is really bad for racing.

 

[Samamba]

Asgreen wwas also involved it looks like.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Did you really expect more than this before Holleweg?! The section to attack before the Muur is between Holleweg and Leberg.

Don't expect the big names to get going yet, at least not without Van der Poel or Alaphilippe there, but it feels more controlled than usual.

Asgreen dropped, probably by the crash.

 

[Salvarani]

Vermeersch and Vliegen has a gap infront of the peloton.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So Van Aert is sporting a Red Bull helmet this year.

He's had one for years. But he only wore it during CX season.

Asgreen dropped, probably by the crash.

Could be, but he was also not great in Algarve, he had Covid just 3 weeks ago.

 

[Salvarani]

Teunissen attacks!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Letting Teunissen dangle out in front for a bit on his own wouldn't be a bad idea at this point, Jumbo very strong.

 

[Netserk]

He's had one for years. But he only wore it during CX season.

Yes, but I think this is the first road race with it (that I can recall).

 

[Samamba]

Finally going hard now.

 

[ij74]

Is Sagan still in the pack?

 

[Salvarani]

Turgis... weird crash but he had a flat tire. Front one. And needed to pee.

 

[RedheadDane]

Turgis... weird crash but he had a flat tire. Front one. And needed to pee.

Might as well do everything at once... spares time.

 

[Salvarani]

Küng! Joins Vermeersch and Vliegen.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yes, but I think this is the first road race with it (that I can recall).

Yes, i think that's correct.

 

[Salvarani]

Good racing atm.

 

[Netserk]

Mohoric active as well, but didn't catch a ticket in time for Küng's move.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

You mean saves time. In Dutch it would be '(be)spaart tijd'. What's it in Danish?

 

[Netserk]

I see Alexander is the son of Dimitri Konychev.

 

[Salvarani]

Three strong riders with a gap on the peloton. They wont bring them back that easy. Only a smaller group with the favorites, I reckon.

 

[Kazistuta]

You mean saves time. In Dutch it would be '(be)spaart tijd'. What's it in Danish?

The same... "sparer tid"

 

[RedheadDane]

'Sparer tid' eller 'tidsbesparende'.

The same... "sparer tid"

Stop replying before me!

 

[Netserk]

Marlboroughstraat should allow the biggest guns to play it out.

 

[Kazistuta]

'Sparer tid' eller 'tidsbesparende'.

Gotta make you earn your nickname...

 

[SafeBet]

I see Alexander is the son of Dimitri Konychev.

Yes, he grew up in Italy where Dimitri lives with his faimily.
