Baloise Belgium Tour 2023 (June 14-18)

[DNP-Old]

Benelli Belgium Tour.

These's motos are a catastrophe.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Alpecin have everyone outnumbered, to have Van der Poel on top of that is overkill.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Who is going to win this sprint? All 4 are fast.

Jose been is right this is a fascinating race/

A dane will win again, i suppose. They seems to win any race they participate.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

8 seconds for Van der Poel, 6 for Pedersen, 3 for Tiller, 1 for De Buyst.

Didn't realise Gall and Groenewegen were Danish.

Spoiler: Reference to other race

TBF, there are actually no Danes in Slovenia.

 

[Berniece]

If they start looking at each other for the sprint I can easily see the peloton come back.

EDIT: Or they don't even have to look at each other, peloton is coming back quite quickly

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The Stuyven flat decided this one. Trek did so much work in the peloton after that.

 

[DNP-Old]

Gianni Vermeersch only rides for the BV Gianni Vermeersch.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Vermeersch trying to add a derny title to his gravel title.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, Casper. Since you got caught, better get to work!

 

[RedheadDane]

Alpecin were clearly just practicing the leadout!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

When the only other sprinter than Philipsen with a decent leadout is Kristoff, there's only one winner.

 

[Samamba]

Caleb Ewan has become a meme

 

[DNP-Old]

Philipsen very clearly loathed that attack by Vermeersch, and rightfully so.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Jakobsen seems on par in terms of speed. Good signs. But good (and deserved) win for Philipsen (Alpecin).

When the only other sprinter than Philipsen with a decent leadout is Kristoff, there's only one winner.

Renaat thought it was Rickaert who did the lead out.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Caleb Ewan has become a meme

Useless Lotto having him start the sprint from fifth, of course someone who's won as much as him in the past two years is above bothering with it when he's positioned that far back!

Vermeersch seems to be the worst rouleur of all the Belgian Classics guys, you could also see that in Roubaix, he’s probably the worst to attack for Alpecin.

You are joking right??? There no way you're actually serious.

Ewan wants to sprint out of Philipsens wheel, that's exactly what he wants. He doesn't follow his leadouts wheel cuase he doesn't want to hit the front with 200, 150 or even 125m to go. He was perfectly put into Phlipsens wheel, like he asked, and then just obviously like he always does let's himself pushed out of that wheel just before Philipsen launches and just sits up to spit in the teams face.

I thought my sarcasm was obvious.

My bad then, I just hear this "omg Lotto leadout super bad" narrative way too often and it annoys the hell out of when it's just Ewan being bad.
