De Ronde van Vlaanderen (270.8 km), 2024 March 31 (Sunday)

[Salvarani]

My Dark Horse for a surprisingly good result today is Campenaerts. I hope he or Naesen will be the best Belgian.

They all should be focused on trying to win... not just be the best Belgian.

 

[Potomac]

I was just in time for the first cobbled bit.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

For some reason, Carpenaerts annoys me. He's like a little troll, who is always there, with his little troll legs and his little troll bars, up there pushing his little troll pace.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This is such a weak break all things considering

Normally The main break is created with 120-100 km to the finish line.

 

[zigzag wanderer]

Let me heal your wounds

(yr.no's weatherforecast for Oudenaarde)

The other forecast starts from the 1st April....

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big show of force from Q36.5 on the front for Cyrus Monk no doubt.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Swarms of non-Alpecin jerseys now on the front!?

 

[Salvarani]

Big fight for position now in the next 5km.

Critical part where there could be crashes happening.

 

[Salvarani]

Madous is far back in the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Start of the second act.

First Kwaremont should be slow-motion. But maybe one team will be in position to put the hammer down afterwards.

 

[RedheadDane]

Movistar taking the front of the peloton in Flanders...
Now I've seen it all!

EBH out!

 

[Salvarani]

Mohoric was stopped there. Among the last riders in the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Alpecin going surprisingly fast on Kwaremont.

 

[Salvarani]

Moscon and Ala in the back atm.

 

[Potomac]

Movistar taking the front of the peloton in Flanders...
Now I've seen it all!

EBH out!

Laughing at the movistar quote, not EBH

 

[awavey]

they can go on about the mass crowds all they like that VIP village does absolutely wreck it for the normal spectator

 

[Potomac]

Loving the drone shots

 

[Potomac]

Predictions on when today's podium makes a move away from the peloton?

 

[Ricco']

Moscon started his season with high praise and confidence both from himself and Lefevere, but as soon as he exploded from the front group in Omloop it looks like he went into oblivion. Riding today in the back of the bunch doesn't look promising again.

 

[Netserk]

Benoot on the wheel of Affini near the front, Jorgenson further down.

 

[DNP-Old]

Van Baarle punctured.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rolf... you jinxed it!

 

[Salvarani]

Spectator down.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Van Baarle punctured.

Again

 

[Martinstranger]

Seems like pretty good timing today.

Had the tv running until the break was established and then went in the garden. Joined back 10 minutes ago and it seems like nothing happened in the mean time.

Hope the spectator and the rides are well. That did not look good.
