78th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad: February 25, 2023

[Netserk]

Politt is back in the peloton.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Why isn’t Lotto sending someone back for De Lie lol

 

[Netserk]

Milan? attacks.

 

[Didinho]

De Lie will still win.

 

[search]

Where are Lotto's horses, Campanaerts was harping on a lot before the race but their best rider is 30s back and nobody has dropped to help him.

to be fair, Campenaerts always said that he would first try to win himself, though

 

[Samamba]

Why isn’t Lotto sending someone back for De Lie lol

Because he's behind the car. They have 2 guys waiting at the back of the peloton.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Yeah I just noticed that, now that he’s in the cars just let them wait at the back of the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Bahrain and Jumbo are poking and probing the peloton. Ineos seem to wait for Molenberg.

 

[Netserk]

Another Lotto rider and an Intermarché rider have crashed.

 

[Samamba]

Lotto guys crashing in the omloop, nothing new? De Buyst this time.

 

[Netserk]

De Buyst was the crashed Lotto rider.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

De Buyst and Rex down and out. Quite a few crashes today for not even being at Molenberg yet.

 

[Berniece]

Why isn’t Lotto sending someone back for De Lie lol

Because they decided to cheat and just use the car

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

De Buyst can’t catch a break ever.

 

[Salvarani]

Rex for Intermarché?

 

[Netserk]

Tailwind on the approach to Molenberg.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Because they decided to cheat and just use the car

It’s cheating, but when every team does it the UCI doesn’t do anything and there’s no complaints.

 

[Samamba]

Because they decided to cheat and just use the car

Yeah dude let's pretend like not EVERY SINGLE RIDER and TEAM does this after a crash?

As long as you don't do this to attack like Bugaudeau in Haut Var noone is going to complain.

 

[Netserk]

Because they decided to cheat and just use the car

Do you also call a tackle that results in a penalty in football for cheating? It's out in the open and up to the commisaires to regulate it.

 

[Samamba]

Sagan lol

 

[Didinho]

Sagan dropped

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sagan is somehow even worse for Total than Terpstra was.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fred Wright races the same way he conducts interviews, like he's been slamming the Belgian stew all night, him and Tratnik look mad strong but they must be nackered at this point.

 

[Berniece]

Flying past other riders that dropped? Not really. Even the commentators said: “let’s pretend we didn’t see that”

 

[Netserk]

Full peloton sprint!
