84th Gent-Wevelgem: 27 March, 2022

[Netserk]

Alpecin taking their first pull.

 

[fbjim]

apparently Eurosport are suggesting LTS aren't driving pace because of the points situation, they're more concerned with having as many riders in the top 20 than winning....

 

[Zoophonic]

Laporte v Stuyven I suspect

 

[AlfaLum]

I feel like the Danes (Asgreen, Kragh, Pedersen) messed this up by relying too much of the Jumbo riders' work.

It would still have been easier to win from a group of 7-8 riders.

Pedersen was pulling a lot in that group though and Asgreen quite a bit as well. It really was SKA and I think Turner who did not really cooperate.

What is Alpecin, Lotto and Ineos doing？They have riders but no one is trying. They could chase all back and attack if they have no sprinter.

 

[Salvarani]

Front group struggling a bit with cooperation. A little bit too early for that.

 

[Eclipse]

Starting to look like it's going to be very close

 

[Salvarani]

They are not taking 95-100% turns anymore.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Headwind and distance must be starting to bite, this feels like it could be a heartbreak...

Pedersen was pulling a lot in that group though and Asgreen quite a bit as well. It really was SKA and I think Turner who did not really cooperate.

Van Baarle was the Ineos rider Not having the (as yet) good name of Turner sullied

 

[Tim Cahill]

When's the attack coming Jasper

Pedersen was pulling a lot in that group though and Asgreen quite a bit as well. It really was SKA and I think Turner who did not really cooperate.

From what I saw, Asgreen was more aggressive than cooperative and only had his eyes on Wout.

And after Kemmelberg, everyone sat up because Jumbo had 3 riders in the group.

What makes Campanaerts tactic so funny, is that he has a YouTube channel where he sometimes explains his tactics after the races

And usually honestly admits about the errors he made. Can't see anything funny here

 

[Salvarani]

They should be clear

 

[Eclipse]

ok bunch stopped pulling lol

 

[fbjim]

if anyone in that group attacks before the kite it's over for them, and we can all blame them for being the Proximus(tm) Break Binman Of The Day

 

[Salvarani]

Kragh!

 

[Tim Cahill]

You know things have got desperate in the bunch when Movistar are on the front with 1.8k to go

 

[fbjim]

SKA has had enough, and if MSR 2021 and the 2020 TDF are any indication, SKA attacking is the first rat off a sinking ship

 

[Zoophonic]

Worst Peloton effort in a 1 day classic Ive ever seen

 

[Salvarani]

SKA coming back!

 

[Velolover2]

Girmay is gonna win this.

 

[Salvarani]

YES GHIRMAY

 

[RedheadDane]

GHIRMAY!

Eritrea has arrived.

 

[Tim Cahill]

YES! I think he got it!!!
