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

[Tim Cahill]

Spartacus offering some kind advice to riders from the roadside!

'Use a motor' I think I heard him say.

 

[jono]

Flo is back.

Flo is back

 

[dobrien]

This has really gone all Mathieu's way so far.

 

[Lequack]

Pedersen at the front is perfect scenario for MVDP. What the hell is he doing anyway?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

About 20k to see who has the beef today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good for Van Der Poel so far but the danger is that there are far too many riders left and the race has been easy, when he goes there might be enough to chase him down.

If Pogacar was here then there would be minutes between groups already

 

[Didinho]

The biggest cobbled climbs are really slippery.

 

[DNP-Old]

Race radio saying that the cobbles on Oude Kwaremont - Pater are very slippery. Music to my ears.

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Just imagine Mads pulled this off…….epic wouldn’t describe it

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Alpecin managing the gap to...checks notes, Vermeersch...mmkay

 

[Netserk]

The wind has turned a bit (and weakened a tad), so it's not as direct a headwind on Kwaremont, but they will also have a headwind afterwards until they descend towards Paterberg.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think Alpecin is taking all that talk about how weak they are, personally.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

So far has been a much quieter race than last year up to this point. Hopefully a great finale

 

[Netserk]

It's perfect for a move between Paterberg and Koppenberg.

 

[Didinho]

Hope everyone stays safe now. We did 55 moyenne on the small bike lane without pedaling. Really dangerous here.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Hope everyone stays safe here!

 

[dazaau]

Hope everyone stays safe here!

Yeah, looks horrifying to me

 

[Netserk]

I fear a pile-up.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

What's van baarle doing?

 

[Volderke]

I”ll eat my bike if pedersen survives kwaremont.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Staggered nobody has gone down, it's like Mario Kart

 

[Netserk]

What's van baarle doing?

Fighting for position on a high-speed wet descent is not for him.

 

[awavey]

ok Ill accept it IS raining now lol

 

[Martinstranger]

Pederson not riding for himself today

I think you could be rigth. At the moment he is keeping the peloton concentrated and his teammates can just sit back. But we will have to see, if they have something in the legs.
