Brabantse Pijl 13/04/2022

[Savant12]

Matthews did one turn. Must be a record.

 

[dercuforever]

Is it possible that his pedals are lower than the other riders ? thus touching the pavement ?

 

[glassmoon]

wtf is ineos doing? remco brings 2 of them back and no one attacks?

 

[Big Doopie]

It’s exciting as crap. But what is Remco thinking. How does he win from this group after doing so much work?

Didn't he recon the climbs?

Looked perfect for a Pidcock attack, considering he looked weak on Moskesstraat.

It would be funny. Be like the reverse of Standard when he beat the 3 QuickSteppers.

 

[ruamruam]

With 3 Ineos in the leading group why are the other four working?

 

[Salvarani]

Sheffield is great. Looks really strong.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Why is Pidcock so bad on this climb? Also, why is he riding such a huge gear? Perhaps there is a correlation between the two...

 

[Tim Cahill]

I can feel my knee cartilage hurting watching Sheffield going up that climb.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Pidcock maybe waiting for a sprint

 

[titan31]

Barguil dropped like a stone on the climb

ES commentary - "Barguil looks very strong here"

Pidcock is an overrated cobble rider. His results are pretty clear to me.

 

[Salvarani]

Pidcock maybe waiting for a sprint

Yeah... either others are simply stronger or he knew he could ride calculated. Having both Turn and Sheffield. He knew Sheffield wasnt gonna try and go solo.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ridiculous strength accompanied by a tactical disaster from Remco here, unless he's been practicing his sprint.

 

[Salvarani]

Kron crashed.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Who wins in the sprint - be cosnefoy v pidders?

turner...

 

[Newcomer]

As this rate, I feel Ineos should pay some of Remco's wages, man just won them the Basque Country and about to won them the Brabantse Pijl here.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Pidcock is an overrated cobble rider. His results are pretty clear to me.

You might be right. Though he did finish 3rd in Dwars door Vlaanderen this year.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ineos are going for a sprint it seems? Not sure if that's a wise decision, or indeed if Pidcock is their fastest rider in this group...

 

[Big Doopie]

With his recent bonus sprint win does he now think he can outsprint everyone? Lol.

 

[Stringer Bell]

Tuens has been mightily strong considering he had the flat front wheel

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Who wins in the sprint - be cosnefoy v pidders?

I think Cosnefroy and Wellens are the two favorites here, but it's really anyone's race to win. Barguil is probably the only one without many chances.
