yeah i like him a lot more than Jorgenson, who kinda seems like a fake nice guy

Does he? I really don't get that vibe.

Love it when teams/riders have a sense of humour about those things.

I can't stand JV, so never have rooted for EF, but Powless has made me a fan today.

And I just read "JV" as "Jumbo Visma" (yes, I know that's not their name) and was rather confused.

 

[red_flanders]

Wout taking responsibility for making the call to sprint. I mean not much you can say, but I appreciate the straight up answer.

 

[Lequack]

Can we get an out-zoomed for full effect?

Another classic

Del Grosso looked strong. I'm almost surprised Alpecin don't have him racing on Sunday.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Love that. Yeah it's obvious from every bit of his manner.

Yeah, there is little to like about the guy.

Ah, yeah fair. I meant Vaughters.

nah, he's cool, not fake

 

[Salvarani]

This the one!

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert: "I'm fully responsible, I made the call to go for a sprint. I cramped in the sprint."

 

[Salvarani]

Nice! Classic

 

[red_flanders]

That says everything.

 

[tobydawq]

Wout says it was his own call to go for the sprint. Said he was too selfish. Wanted to get a win after all the criticism he has faced. Cramped all over in the sprint .Takes full responsibility.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert in a bad place when he calls himself selfish, "not who I am".

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Watching Wout's interview, I just don't get where the hate leveled at him, comes from?

He's not blaming anyone but himself, and said it was his decision to wait to the sprint. He like everyone else thought he would beat Powless, heads up.

 

[Heston]

Wout sounds depressed

 

[Netserk]

You can see how ashamed he feels.

Del Grosso looked strong. I'm almost surprised Alpecin don't have him racing on Sunday.

Who can tell, no team is published yet.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Who can tell, no team is published yet.

He's racing in Limburg on Saturday.

Del Grosso looked strong. I'm almost surprised Alpecin don't have him racing on Sunday.

He could be really important in Roubaix.

Typical. I have been talking about this for 4 years now. Belgian pozzato

I think it's because of the Belgian media and his fans that are a bit over the top. they not helping him to be liked

 

[jono]

Who can tell, no team is published yet.

He's on the startlist for a Saturday race.

 

[Rackham]

You can be pretty sure that Plugge (no matter how much you hate him) wasn't the one calling the tactical shots. They're pretty strict in who does what, and Plugge doesn't have the role of racing coach.

Jorgenson said the car made the wrong choice. So your guess is as good as mine regarding whether Plugge had input in the decision.

 

[Salvarani]

Powless a legend for this one

What a win
