Brabantse Pijl 13/04/2022

[Devil's Elbow]

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

His physique is too light for the cobbles to be a great rather than a good fit for him.

Waiting for the Turner attack

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

Dwars is pretty light as a cobble classic. I feel like he always struggles when there are hard long cobble bergs. Today he has always looked comfortable on asphalt hills or even on Hetstraat where he could ride in the gutter

Go Sheffield!

 

[dercuforever]

remco should let cosnefroy go, so the other ineos have to work.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This could be it, this is Sheffield's wheelhouse

 

[Hugo Koblet]

It's over. Wow, what a race - and win - by Sheffield! Simply the strongest.

 

[Salvarani]

He wins this!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The others let that happen way too easily. Sheffield has been really strong though.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

SHEFFIELD!

 

[titan31]

Bit meh by the non Ineos guys here

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Go on Sheffield!!

 

[Samamba]

This was bound to happen tho. It was always going to be Turner or Sheffield.

 

[Salvarani]

Huge fail by the rest.

 

[titan31]

Just let him away too easily. Wasn't even attack. They just stopped riding behind him

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

It's Sheffield Wednesday

 

[SafeBet]

Great win for an outstanding talent.
Who would have thought Sheffield would win a classic before Quinn Simmons?

 

[glassmoon]

at the end they did it right

 

[Bonimenier]

Matthews for 2nd

 

[limak_]

Sheffield's legs look so full of strength.

 

[titan31]

Matthews for 2nd

Looks like it

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

America has a good group of riders right now.

 

[Salvarani]

Great win for an outstanding talent.
Who would have thought Sheffield would win a classic before Quinn Simmons?

People who watched the junior WC in which he came 3rd? How the race unfolded he probably was the strongest there.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Well done Sheffield, great ride.

 

[Salvarani]

What a win!
