Classic Brugge-De Panne - 2X One-Day Race(s). Men's 22/3, Women's 23/3

[DNP-Old]

Fredheim still there.

 

[repre]

Fredheim still there.

he is norwegian Jalen Hurts...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

In current form, Ackermann might unironically be in the slower half of riders in this front echelon.

Now watch him win.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Disastrous timing for Philipsen if he does need a new bike.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And another utterly bizarre crash this week...

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Fredheim is racing like its a junior race. He should save some energy and leave the work to the teams with helpers.

 

[Samamba]

Looks like there's a bit less wind now.

 

[Didinho]

Tom Steels with a sprint already, he's not gonna win this one.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That's how many riders in this front echelon who have had a bike change in the past half an hour?

 

[Didinho]

Ackermann first to drop. Philipsen so strong!

 

[Berniece]

Philipsen very impressive

 

[tobydawq]

Tough trio in a sprint for Lampaert.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Wrong rider up front for Soudal now, but they'll have to work themselves behind to bring it back I think.

 

[Didinho]

Tough trio in a sprint for Lampaert.

He can stay in the wheels with Ballerini and Jakobsen behind.

 

[Filippo_3467]

It's only a good move if Lampaert can go away or they are bringing it back and jakobsen has a easy job because all others are cooked. But therefore Quick Step has to bring the bgger group back because the others won't do it.

 

[tobydawq]

He can stay in the wheels with Ballerini and Jakobsen behind.

And then what? He is never going to beat Kooij and Philipsen...

 

[Didinho]

And then what? He is never going to beat Kooij and Philipsen...

Go solo with a late attack. I know it's a guessing game, but QS now also working behind.

 

[Berniece]

And then what? He is never going to beat Kooij and Philipsen...

And then try to attack a bit later when Philipsen and Kooij decide they want to go a bit slower because they are preparing for their sprint

 

[Squire]

Jakobsen doing turns. Quick-Step has royally messed up this one, I think.

 

[Didinho]

Problem for Démare, Theuns and Groenewegen.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

All the other sprinters in G2 are toast, QS have shot themselves in the foot here.

 

[Squire]

Looking at how everyone in G2 are struggling, I'm starting to believe that Lampaert can grab this from the front group by being fresher.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know it's been a hard day when riders are dropping on viaducts.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Is Lampaert actually waiting for the sprint?

 

[Didinho]

Yess!!! Congrats Jappe, well deserved!
