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

[Brullnux]

This is useless by VdP. People will just start attacking again. I think his position wasn't that bad.

Nah, 15 riders is very dangerous if they got more than a minute. Better to just have Pedersen alone like now

 

[Netserk]

Yeah I don't like how Pedersen is riding at all. But the previous group felt controlable for Alpecin. You never know about the next one.

Pedersen will have lost the race when they come to Kwaremont if he is not in front.

 

[RedheadDane]

Strong attack!


Sorry... I had to.

 

[DNP-Old]

Kung crashed.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pederson has done one too many of these 'get ahead of the racing' moves, he's not acting like he's 2nd/3rd favourite here, this is more of a Fred Wright/Mohoric move really.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

You looked like you had proof, yesterday.

No, I said I thought it might be the case, you said no way...it's looking like maybe one of us was closer to the truth.

 

[topcat]

Alaphilippe still in full control here

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Ah man, poor Kung

 

[DNP-Old]

Those covid editions weren't so bad. In fact, they were beautiful.

 

[iBanesto]

Spectator caused crash again... sigh...

 

[Martinstranger]

Pedersen driving himself into an early grave.

Too many surges for little to no gain.

Seems pretty stupid at the moment - just wasting energy like that and far to the next climb.

He need somebody to jump up and where is the rest of Trek?

 

[dazaau]

Idiot spectators

 

[DNP-Old]

No, I said I thought it might be the case, you said no way...it's looking like maybe one of us was closer to the truth.

Mate, what are you even getting at? If Van der Poel finishes first or last, neither of us will be able to prove whether CX was or was not the reason, lmao. Let it go.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Where's that dude who said there would be no suspense today? That new dude, with all the knowledge.

The race situation is playing perfectly to MVP's strenghts. He will attack soon and do a 70 km solo

 

[DNP-Old]

Hagenes here with a broken nose, damn.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

81k...attack solo, or just be a common man, unlike Pog

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Where would Wout be?

 

[Boehmand]

I'm in two minds on Pedersen.

Either it is desperation because he is feeling less than 100 % - or he is just feeling incredibly strong today.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

The race situation is playing perfectly to MVP's strenghts. He will attack soon and do a 70 km solo

...yeah that's looking probable

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Alpecin have been excellent - and it is really good tactics to get Vermersch to ride with Mads, if he can ahead in the course it means MVDP will have support later in the race if he is surrounded by a few Jumbos

 

[Gigs_98]

Nah, 15 riders is very dangerous if they got more than a minute. Better to just have Pedersen alone like now

I don't think it's not gonna stay Pedersen alone though.

 

[Savant12]

Pederson has done one too many of these 'get ahead of the racing' moves, he's not acting like he's 2nd/3rd favourite here, this is more of a Fred Wright/Mohoric move really.

To be dropped like a stone on the Kwaremont - again.

 

[Tim Cahill]

If Pedersen is riding for himself and not injured this could materialise into one of the worst moves of all time

 

[dazaau]

I'm in two minds on Pedersen.

Either it is desperation because he is feeling less than 100 % - or he is just feeling incredibly strong today.

Surely to go 80k solo you would need to feel like pogacar. Lol. I don't see it really. It's interesting

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Where would Wout be?

MVDP’s wheel only to get dropped when MVDP attacks
