Dwars door Vlaanderen - coming soon (March 31)

Remember Amstel Gold Race 2019? MVDP also caught the breakaway with a long sprint in that one.

Deceuninck and VDP shenanigans should take nothing away from Van Baarle's performance though. He was very good both in Harelbeke and GW. This would be his first ever win in a cobble Classic.

Well, not this time

 

[jarvo]

It was so casual the way Van Baarle pulled away from the group on the Berg ten Houte

Relevance?

 

[luckyboy]

Chase group has been a disaster...

 

[Panda Claws]

Van Baarle looking like he might crack at any moment.

He has looked the same the last 30 k, wishful thinking

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Crazy to think the gap was below 20 seconds atop the Tiegemberg.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Van Baarle has been a beast this spring. Also almost made the top 10 in Paris-Nice.

By the way, what happened to Tom Cockpit? Dropped on Taaienberg?

Pidcock* (unless it was intentional)

Crashed before it. Never made it back.

Is ag2r really trying to block the peloton so that Van Avermaet maybe can get a second place?

 

[sir fly]

Step ahead of the rest brought him to solo for the victory instead for a minor placing.
Good job, Van Baarle.

Some sharpening behind ahead of the Flanders finest.

Why shouldn't they do that? They can't catch van Baarle.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This race has been more weird than good. Deserving winner in every aspect, though.

 

[RedheadDane]

How fast did they ride? Schedule says finish-time 17:30, it's 16:22 now, and they're almost done!

 

[Velolover2]

Team Qhubeka ASSOS chasing Campenaerts? Wtf?

 

[Luthor]

Underwhelming race. Congrats to Van Baarle. GW was miles ahead.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Yes, well deserved, great win!

 

[Carols]

Good on you Van Baarle!!! Chapeau

 

[Skalman]

Well that was easy...he should be able to win every race if he just rides away from the rest that easy.

 

[Wvv]

Kudos Van Baarle.
Very nice race by Van Avermaet, Stuyven, Laporte and Campenaerts too.
Merlier lightning fast but too far away on the climbs.

 

[SafeBet]

The greatest anticipated the group sprint for second. Didn't want to embarrass other riders by dominating said sprint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And after all that pulling almost nobody cared for the sprint for third. Such a strange day.
