I raise one golden cone, with lots of golden cones

More than church tax?

 

[Netserk]

Matthews and Morgado with the best sprint behind? But who knows how UAE will play it.

Mvdp has 1:29 atm, he had 1 minute for free on top of Koppenberg.

Mvdp would have won anyway (he’s probably soft pedaling atm) and I even think the fact everybody got held up benefitted the chasers as they didn’t force themselves trying to follow mvdp, so they worked better together.

Still, the Koppenberg took out the excitement out of the race a bit too early

Van der Poel already had a gap before people started climbing off their bike. People started going on foot at completely different spots independently of each other. Maybe some guys could have stayed on their bike without riders in their way but then they should have positioned themselves better. This "he was gifted a minute" narrative is complete nonsense.

 

[Stasat]

Morgado very impressive to be up there in these conditions at 20 years old. A shame for Wout, without MvDP being able to drop a watt bomb stood he would have stood more of a chance than in the dry. I don't think Pog would have stood a chance in these conditions.

 

[Volderke]

Who exactly did he gain 1 minute on on the Koppenberg? He gained 40+ seconds on riders that weren't blocked.

Bettiol, Theuns.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE entering the race with 5 leaders, aka no leaders.

Van Baarle's bike was probably the first on the rack as they knew he was the strongest on the team today.

UAE winding up the sprint train for 4th.

Is there a church tax in Belgium? I have no idea, sorry.

I'd like to know the concept behind that piece of art though.

Matthews or Mozzato, I'd think

 

[Didinho]

He should’ve practiced his sprint here.

 

[Tim Cahill]

SHOW THE BATTLE YOU IDIOTS

Lol, with this team Pogacar would have murdered MVP in these conditions.

 

[Didinho]

Matthews what was that.

Jorgenson learning the difference with sub 200k races.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What a result for Arkea!!!

 

[iBanesto]

Poor Bettiol and Teuns!

 

[Netserk]

UAE such a disgusting team ruining the race first by not bringing Pogacar then spoiling the race for remaining podium places

At least we have Matthews making sure UAE didn't get 2nd.

 

[jsem94]

Matthews has to be relegated to tenth or whatever

 

[Didinho]

Mozzatooo is the Italian Pozzato.

 

[meat puppet]

Think the forum was more entertaining than the race today so thanks.

In that spirit, think I'll mainline coffee, nutella and (pre spiritual turn) bhaskar while trying to watch the women's race
