If there's a way Van der Poel loses, it's cause the race has been too soft and we're going to a 40 man bunch sprint where Van Vliet has to relegate Matthews for no reason to have Van der Poel win

he will take it upon himself as usual to make it hard enough himself very soon.

 

[pastronef]

where's Ayuso?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Passive, almost nostalgic edition this year, Valverde and Gilbert will sprint it out, maybe Amstel Gold specialist Enrico Gasparotto can do something here.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

So much for the old Schachmann being back...

 

[AmRacer]

Mathieu will stage a short range attack and save his legs for LBL.

So much for the old Schachmann being back...

He said he was sick and couldn‘t train from the end of Itzulia till Wednesday before the race

 

[DNP-Old]

where's Ayuso?

There is one UAE in very last wheel, but Spaniards are historically TRASH in AGR.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Those cars...

 

[Tim Cahill]

VdP bluffing for a sprint, looks weak, come on Benwah drop this guy

 

[Samamba]

Someone do something. Do we want a bunch sprint

 

[fbjim]

haves some doubts that this big big move by Honore is going to stick

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van der Poel has decided he doesn't want to attack, and everyone else has decided they're saving everything for a Van der Poel attack.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Are these climbers secretly Simon Gerrans

 

[Tim Cahill]

VdP recognising the threat of El Jaguar de Toucan

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Someone hasn't told Hirschi this is a WT race.

Good move too, Alpecin don't have numbers.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hirschi responding like a train to the .Pro level pace of the race

 

[DNP-Old]

Fairly confident I just saw Ayuso drop with Gil Gelders amongst others.

 

[Samamba]

Is Van der Poel not good, why is he waiting so long, it's not like he has a team to control

 

[Gigs_98]

That's a super dangerous moment for MvdP

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Migels in German commentary saying Van der Poel might wait until the Bemelerberg

 

[fbjim]

big move by big rider matteo "bigmat auber93" jorgenson

 

[tobydawq]

Is Mathieu not feeling it today?

I think Libertine would have an aneurysm if he pulled that off.
