Re: Re:

Groenewegen makes Gaviria and Viviani look like second tier sprinters...

Well he is more powerful than any of them.

Gaviria was also in a break and almost no team in the finale

That's hardly a defense, in the Tour last year he was humiliated literally twice in a row by Groenewegen when the latter had his first chances of really sprinting (boxed in stages before)....everytime groenewegen has free air he just rockets past

This race is just yikes. Basically Scheldeprijs.. and its WT. I mean, wtf. Who even cares?

Shame there were crashes. Hopefully, no one has suffered some serious harm. It's only the beginning of racing series in Flanders.
Congrats to Groenewegen. Although, at one point, to me looked like Gaviria had the best position and that Viviani was the fastest, but Groenewegen got it all right again.

Groenewegen was so out of position in finale. That was more than impressive in my opinion. Well done.

Nice bit of sportsmanship from Hepburn.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Superb from Groenewegen. In my view the best single sprint performance by anyone this year and arguably also the best single sprint of his career so far. Really impressive.

Any news on Durbridge?

Australian rider Luke Durbridge (Mitchelton-Scott) has been ruled out for the remainder of the spring Classics season after fracturing both his collarbone and finger in a collision with a tree at the Driedaagse Brugge-De Panne on Wednesday.

I noted that the new Bedene-Koksijde Classic that has been ridden this year in the old Handzame Classic calendar spot has almost the same route of this less than a week before.
If in belgium are in a need of an one day race they could revive the old Paris-Brussels.

 

[Red Rick]

Only see the sprint now.

He comes from nowhere, sprints for 50 meters, and starts celebrating far from the finish line

 

[King Boonen]

Green Road Made Gaviria and Viviani look like Cat 4 racers. Viviani held his line about as well as 80's banker during his 5th coke session of the day in his Wall Street office.

 

[RedheadDane]

Kirsten Wild won the women's race.

Groenewegen just keeps impressing with his pure speed and power. He makes it look so easy beating the best sprinters in today's peloton. If he's in a good position he seems to be unbeatable, even if he's not, like yesterday, he can manoeuvre himself into a good position as well. The way he won the second stage of Paris Nice indicates he has more substance than just a one-trick-pony sprinter who is overly-reliant on a lead-out train.
