84th Gent-Wevelgem: 27 March, 2022

[Devil's Elbow]

Will be a bunch sprint

With the headwind after the final Kemmelberg, it almost has to be. Main question is how many sprinters make the cut.

 

[Netserk]

Third and final ascent of Kemmelberg, it will be full gas, about 10 riders or fewer should make the front group afterwards.

 

[Netserk]

Take off in 3.. 2.. 1..

 

[SafeBet]

Is De Lie in the front group?

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert far back.

 

[Netserk]

Jumbo versus Denmark.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Asgreen is in great form, he's just got nobody, Lefevere should send the young boy in, there aren't any big mountains in Flanders.

[Samamba]

Wanty has 4 guys left, Merlier 3 teammates...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Van Aert far back.

Well, it didn't matter much :lol:

 

[Eclipse]

Well, it didn't matter much :lol:

Race might have been over if his positioning wasn't so bad.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They should let him ride alone 20 seconds ahead for 30k into a headwind.

 

[F_Cance]

jumbo so much more ridiculous than QS.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert
Laporte
Benoot
Asgreen
Pedersen
Kragh
Mohoric
Van Baarle

 

[fbjim]

Well that's 3 TJV in a selection of 8, I think people may not like that move

 

[SafeBet]

3 Jumbo in the front group.

 

[Zoophonic]

WVA hasn't got a gap after that surge climb so it should be a sprint finish now. That said he is a top sprinter so still favourite

 

[Velolover2]

The 8 best riders in the front group?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If you're riding for the win and not to secure a top ten you should not be working with Jumbo here...

 

[AlfaLum]

Soren Kragh Andersen. The Danish Valverde. Killer of every break.

 

[Salvarani]

Welp

 

[fbjim]

yeah that's not going to work, those guys are going to want Benoot or someone scarified immediately and they don't have the time to argue about setting pace

 

[Valv.Piti]

How did Mohoric all of a sudden make that group?

 

[Netserk]

If you're riding for the win and not to secure a top ten you should not be working with Jumbo here...

Easier to win when it's five versus three than in a big bunch if you are Mohoric, Kragh, Van Baarle or Asgreen. There's plenty of road left until the sprint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo too strong for their own good, it seems. Only one of Laporte and Benoot there and the collaboration would be better.

 

[Velolover2]

Merlier is gonna win this if they don't work together.
