Canadian Classics 2023

[QueenStagiaire]

Vermeersch really going to DNF and give away the 1000 dollars for the KOM award just like Vansevenant on Friday

He has 15 KOM points and I think the last lap gives 25.

 

[Netserk]

Healy is here, nice! Powless looks good too.

Lol how stupid is that, even less reason to go in an early break if you're just gonna give it to one of the best riders in the end

 

[Samamba]

I have no idea what QS is doing. Van Wilder mechanical and they keep hammering it. For Alaphilippe sure, I have 0% confidence in him.

Are there Eritreans in every country?

Andddddddd he’s dropped

Edit: never mind he’s back again

 

[Netserk]

Andddddddd he’s dropped

Saved by the UAE car.

It looked like he had a mechanical problem or just wanted some attention.

40km sprint

 

[Samamba]

Wtf is De Lie doing

 

[RedheadDane]

Wtf is De Lie doing

Attacking...

 

[Samamba]

Must mean he thinks he was going to get dropped next time on the climb anyways

 

[Didinho]

Love me some De Lie attacking. Is Kron here? Just making the other teams work for when his teammates attack in the end.

Have you been watching the Vuelta?

Lotto does not have anyone there apart from Sweeny. De Lie just knows he's gonna get dropped soon so thought I show myself a bit.

Spoiler: Vuelta result

He literally just finished 5th in today's stage in the Vuelta...

No. Bit busy elsewhere.

 

[Didinho]

My bad. Mixing it up and only saw the last climb of Vuelta. Did 150km today myself in 32° and couldn’t do a big chainring on the Muur like De Lie. I’m cooked and not thinking bright.

Lotto management ;

Just do whatever you want. It's Sunday evening, I'm going to the pub.

No worries. We've all gotten confused about who's riding where.

Theoretically, could someone ride in a one-day race on the rest day of a stage race that they’re riding, so long as they start the stage after the rest day? Is there specifically a rule against that?

 

[Tim Cahill]

De Lie wasn't getting anywhere near the finish anyway, it's a climbers race, may aswell give himself a 0.1% chance they all look about and he gets 2 minutes.

 

[postmanhat]

Does anyone know if Strong is still there?

In this case, I think it was also a matter of this race technically starting before the stage in the Vuelta truly finished. And getting from Spain to Canada, and back again.

Alaph and Van Welder done for, Quicksteps classics woes continue
