77th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad: February 26, 2022

[Netserk]

Ooh, Benoot making this properly selective.

 

[Salvarani]

Who is gonna chase now?

 

[SafeBet]

Super group with Pidcock, Narvaez, Benoot, WVA and Sonny.
QS in trouble.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Deceuninck look really weak atm.

Without Philipsen and Van der Poel though.

 

[KZD]

Narvaez is one of the few Latin American riders with a real talent for these cobbled classics.

 

[MartinGT]

Isnt there rules about sponsorship. I.e wva with his redbull helmet? Or is that just in the road worlds?

 

[Salvarani]

Kristoff and Allegaert in a crash.

Kristoff could ride on it seemed like.

 

[postmanhat]

Colbrelli doing his 1 second turns at the front

 

[Netserk]

QS quite isolated in the bunch. Let that be the case for the rest of the spring.

 

[Samamba]

So Quick Step and UAE against the 5 strongest guys in the race.

 

[Salvarani]

Colbrelli doing his 1 second turns at the front

Smart.

 

[Netserk]

Colbrelli doing his 1 second turns at the front

He had to dig deepest to bridge across to Benoot et al. I would lean on Jumbo as well if I was him.

 

[Samamba]

Trek helping now too. Not over yet

 

[SafeBet]

Colbrelli doing his 1 second turns at the front

Why should he work? Jumbo and Ineos have the numbers (and likely the 2 strongest riders in the race).

 

[Netserk]

Colbrelli is pulling more than Van Aert. Not that it's a pulling contest.

 

[Samamba]

What is Ineos doing. Jezus how dumb can you be

Benoot vs. the peloton now.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Jumbo clearly the strongest team today. Benoot has more chance to win a classic as Van Aert's sidekick. Is Jumbo the new QuickStep?

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton isnt gonna win this one

 

[Salvarani]

Colbrelli is pulling more than Van Aert. Not that it's a pulling contest.

Yeah, I dont what Colbrelli is doing. He should save as much eneregy as he can to be able to follow on the Muur. Not that he is pulling extremely hard but Van Aert got just as much of a good sprint as him too. If not better.

 

[Salvarani]

Good move by Benoot and Jumbo

 

[Samamba]

Masterclass tactics from Ineos

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Benoot is effectively in a derny race right now...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bunch sprint I think

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton not far behind now

 

[SafeBet]

Pidcock still has a lot to learn on how to read these races.
