The guy with the Valverde avatar whining about race falsification. LOL. At least be consistent in your outrage.tobydawq said:Congratz.
The UCI needs to do something about those idiot motos and their incessant pacing.

DNP-Old said:Looking forward to Benoot and Wellens causing havoc together this coming week.
Yeah that's actually pretty impressive, especially considering the way in which he usually win.El Pistolero said:This was the 20th victory by Wellens by the way. Not bad for a 26 year old.
Most of them in WT-races as well. I think he can win most one-week stage races and hilly one-day races.El Pistolero said:This was the 20th victory by Wellens by the way. Not bad for a 26 year old.

Sestriere said:I'm glad that Wellens is in great form. Was wondering if no races since Paris-Nice was the best approach for the Ardennes but it seems to have worked out perfectly. He probably wants to stay fresh for the Giro, hence the light schedule so far.
Yeah definetly. I guess some WT teams will try to sign him for 2019.Anderis said:Tratnik is an interesting rider.

Yeah, Valverde got big help from the motos throughout his career, like that year at the Giro, on the descent from Agnel, when late Scarponi and Nibali literally hung on to the motos
I've done it a few times on my bike, and I have to say it's really frightening. You can see that the road is not level from left to right, so the corners are actually a lot lower on the outside than on the inside. It's really easy to overcook the second U-turn! It does make for beautiful images though!Gigs_98 said:I have to say, the final descent in the brabantse pijl and the left turn around the church is one of the most beautiful descents of the cycling season
I love that helicopter shot we get each time (and each years) the riders pass that big S around the church. Wellens seemed to be on the limit there.BalearicBeats said:I've done it a few times on my bike, and I have to say it's really frightening.

I think he's a little less strong than last year, probably due to the illness.Cance > TheRest said:Sonny C looks like he's in great shape for Amstel. Attacking in the finale and yet also the strongest in the uphill sprint. A bit like last year, where he did all pulling in the break and won
