(Dutch Beer Race) Amstel Gold Race 2021, 216.7k. Sunday.

[SafeBet]

Dutch NOS are broadcasting the race apparently, so I don't know why ES/GCN aren't doing it as well.

Nevermind I found it on Tiz.

Should we start dirking our beers?

 

[BlueRoads]

Whenever I drink a beer-soda once in a few months, my son starts to act like I'm an alcoholic. I would stick to coffee, but since I kind of blew up my coffee machine yesterday, I'll drink a lot of peppermint tea to this beer race. Yeah, I'm cool.

Lol what?
You were the one suggesting beer ratings for this race!

Try with chamomile tea.
Maybe your son sees Cocco Bill in you.

Not really, it was just the website not allowing me to enter without my birthdate... and then Redhead wanted that beer rating again.

 

[BlueRoads]

So my pick's already out of contention.

So my pick's already out of contention.

Well, now you know how I felt with Muzic during Alfredo Binda.

This could turn out to be another Brown victory, because the cooperation behind is non-existent.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I nearly gambled on Grace again, but a combination of heart ruling head in favour of Vollering and that my gamble on Brown at RVV didn't work meant I chickened out, regretting that now!

 

[Orbit501]

Grace Brown is such an exciting rider. This is brilliant again!
Going to be hard to make this stick though.

 

[BlueRoads]

I just hope that Paladin doesn't win since I almost picked her.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Kasia vs. Elisa in a sprint finish would be... something

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vos will win now, won't she?

But she nearly made a Vollering.

 

[SafeBet]

Vos will win now, won't she?

Or think she will win and not win?

Edit: ok she won.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Vos will win now, won't she?

But she nearly made a Vollering.

Ironically Vollering nearly won because of it.

 

[Lequack]

I was really rooting for the leading duo, but too much cat and mousing.

 

[BlueRoads]

What's up with all these early celebrations?! Now the women do it, too?!

 

[Andy262]

Well done Marianne. Cheers.

Jeers to the two who should have had it between them. Gutless!

Danish commentators comparing the situation with Niewiadoma and Longo Borghini with that of Alaphilippe and Fuglsang from two years ago.
A shame for my chances in the predictin game...

 

[BlueRoads]

And amsteling should be a word.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ironically Vollering nearly won because of it.

Yeah, if she had held Vos's wheel at start of the sprint she may very well had won it. But at least we both score two points.

 

[SafeBet]

ELB messed up before the Cauberg. She made her teammates work but was so far behind and had to overtake a lot of riders.
I think if she was on AVV's wheel when the Cauberg started she would've dropped them all.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Well done Marianne. Cheers.

Jeers to the two who should have had it between them. Gutless!

My hypothesis is that since these are two of the women who contest the 'worst sprinter in the péloton' title (Kasia has improved, but Elisa resolutely remains the kind of rider who can only win solo), they were so worried about proving themselves worse by losing to the other that they would rather come nowhere in the bunch and not suffer the ignominy.

Either that or she took Domenico Pozzovivo's advanced course in how to finish 7th in a 3 man sprint from the Cycling Classes With The Pros thread.
