Benelux Tour 2021 (August 30 - September 5)

[Samamba]

If only this race had hilly stages hard enough to make up the losses on an echelon stage.

The Walloon stage is pretty hard this year

 

[sir fly]

Alpecin guys in excellent shape... whole season.
We'll see what can be recovered in the tt.
The guys featuring n the Golden k look like the most serious contenders.

Remco well upset

It does, though. Not if you can't TT, but if you lose lots of time in the first two days you don't have the required skillset anyway.

 

[Samamba]

I hate this Remco kid. Act normal, every race he starts flaming someone else

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Evenepoel and Sagan are both such primadonnas and this stage has brought out the worst in each of them.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Remco is the lovechild of Gianni Meersman, Rui costa and Eddy merckxx

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Poor positioning from Bauhaus cost him the stage.

Trek doing what Trek does.

 

[Faserr]

Merlier is really really strong. Impressive.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Merlier thinking he's riding for Man United and trying to find a badge to kiss. Ends up kissing the Alpecin logo.

 

[BlueRoads]

I didn't see it before he stood at the side of the road, but why not sacrifice Hodeg and swap bikes?

Lol, you mean Hodeg should have given him his bike? Hodeg is 1,86, Evenepoel is like 1,70.

I wasn't able to watch, what happened with Sagan? I've never really thought of him as a primadonna except when that motorcycle collided with him in 2015 Vuelta.

 

[titan31]

Bit *** for Remco alright. No idea what that mechanic was trying to do.

 

[Bonimenier]

He crashed and was screaming/swearing for quite a time. Understandable though if you ask me.

Yeah, I may have missed something but it didn't look like he was directing his anger towards anyone, he was just upset.

 

[DaLong]

What was the reason for the crash? Did he seem alright health wise afterwards? I.e. for WC/PR.

He was fine. He came back to the 2nd group, but for some reason he finished 2 minutes down, so he must've gotten a mechanical in the final too.

 

[BlueRoads]

Hm, was there a relegation or is PCS wrong?

 

[Bonimenier]

He looked okay. Camera was behind the 3rd echelon and Sagan crashed in the 2nd echelon so not clear how it happened.

Because he wanna keep his hair

(it looked seriously weird)

 

[SafeBet]

Lol, you mean Hodeg should have given him his bike? Hodeg is 1,86, Evenepoel is like 1,70.

But that's not the reason why you think he shouldn't have stopped

Tough luck for Remco, but this is much better for the race. I still view him as the clear favorite unless Asgreen gets the leader's jersey tomorrow.

You should see the shannagans that Gianni Vermeersch gets into in a regular bases.
He's responsible for quiete few incidents/crashes this year alone.

So I argue for once Remco prolly has a point. No use bitching about it though. Race is over, don't lose energy over things you can't change.

Naa you never have a point if you do it like that after the finish when everyone can see it. Just wait till the next morning, or go to their bus and do it like a normal civilized person.
And yes Vermeersch isn't an angel, but it was echelons all day, from what I understood Vermeersch just bumped into him trying to get in someone's wheel. Echelons are chaotic, these things happen. It's just bad luck for Remco, I understand you're frustrated, but it's the way he said those things that annoy me. And it's not the first time.

Now I'll just be bitching about your way to spell "probably"
