Dwars Door Vlaanderen (188.6 km) goes straight through Flanders

[MJR]

Wout's had some bad luck before, but the universe is getting downright ridiculous now.

 

[KOM]

And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.

And MSR

 

[Wvv]

I hope Wout can find the confidence he'll need to take it up against Mathieu coming Sunday.

Four letter word.

A lot less interested in de Ronde now.

You see there is a gutter between the road and the bicycle path. The group took the whole width of the road and those that ride in that gutter can easily lose balance.

Yeah looks like they came around the corner and some didn't see the gutter.

Sensational bridge from the 12 year old Joshua, showing his hand before Paris Roubaix however, lets hope nobody is watching.

And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.

And potentially a sprint in MSR for the win.

I sometimes unironically think it gets overlooked how unlucky van Aert and how not unlucky MvdP have been when comparing the two... Thats not to say I dont think vdP has the edge in the classics in my mind he absolutely does, but still

And to think Wout sacrificed a CX season for this.

And Strade + Sanremo. I said it here after his CX season, why everything on 2 races. 1 crash and you have nothing.

 

[Netserk]

Most in the early break will survive Ladeuze too.

 

[Penninepeddler]

It wasn't the wind but someone losing their balance in the gutter.

Not sure as van Aert was to the right side (closer to the gutter) than whoever went down first, but was not yet in the gutter.


Dusan Rajovic swerved enormously from that side across just in front of where van Aert and I think Stuyven went down... so maybe his back wheel got touched by someone as it sure seems he was off balance.

So Kirby is saying racing is hard now because of Covid.

MVDP had basically two lost seasons due to crash-related back injuries.

 

[Poursuivant]

WVA might be one of them top riders just not destined to win RVV/PR

 

[Netserk]

G3 is dead.

 

[JosefK]

I wonder whether the Giro is now in question for Wout. Tough day. Sad for the sport.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The race programme of josh tarling by Ineos might be one of the worst of all time

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Not sure what happened, but you can see the uneven surface, and Wout's bike upended and him on the ground.

 

[MartinGT]

That's not Wout, it's not a Red Bull helmet.

He should have 2 world tour wins minimum already this season, the entire management team needs to be sacked, expect Harry Maguire and Scott Mctominay to be lining up in the classics next season.

 

[Netserk]

That's not Wout, it's not a Red Bull helmet.

He's already on the ground there.

 

[Valv.Piti]

I have a hope its 'only' hard bruises and he will take the start on Sunday, but in any case, I dont think he will be super competitive even with best case scenario in mind.

 

[Samamba]

4th group on the road has like 3 Bora's plus Meeus. Might be an organized chase at some point but they might be too far by then.

 

[Salvarani]

The race programme of josh tarling by Ineos might be one of the worst of all time

He is just 20 though. Skipping most of the cobbles, focusing on this one and PR as he is listed to do seems pretty smart way to ease him into it. Not burn him out.

 

[Samamba]

The race programme of josh tarling by Ineos might be one of the worst of all time

Ineos has no idea what they do with talents.

 

[Brullnux]

Tarling might be the GOAT
