Dwars Door Vlaanderen

[Velolover2]

Mechanical for Valverde. He got a new bike. But it doesn't look like he is any in problems. He is back in the peloton.

Re:

Benoot on the cars since a few kms. Any insight?

He had a flat.

 

[Scarponi]

Riders off the back with 80km to go. Hard conditions

I hope the weather will be just as "good" (for us) in De Ronde.

*whispers* or roubaix

 

[Velolover2]

Rowe almost rode into a lady who seemed like she didn't care about the race.

If I where him, I would rest a bit and wait for the chasers. In this weather, it's better to be in a group.

it will not. Good for Sagan. No rain. Wind decreased.

Re:

Funny how everybody, myself included, expects a lot from Valverde today but nothing from Quintana. Rightly so, but still.

I don't. Will probably do even worse than last time he rode it.

 

[Netserk]

BTW, why don't they use the cobbles on Kruisberg?

 

[Velolover2]

Rowe almost catch but he proved that he is back.

Maybe not at 100% for De Ronde but he will be there in Roubaix.

Van Aert crashes

According to tradition it will rain every day until Saturday. Then it will be dry on Sunday like every year.

 

[Velolover2]

Van Aert down.

Re: Re:

Yes, just the marshal. Back into the peloton already. Nothing too serious I guess.

 

[Velolover2]

The riders faced are all muddy. This is going to be a hard race. Is Quintana still there?

at least he is ok

 

[MartinGT]

Luke Rowe looks motivated, good to see.

 

[Netserk]

Yeah, it's going down now. Big explosion in ~13km!

 

[MartinGT]

Boom QS pushing it now and splitting it to sheeeeet

 

[SafeBet]

Bad ass racing!

 

[Velolover2]

Small peloton and lots of splits. 50 riders in front with 40 riders chasing them.

 

[portugal11]

this is cycling!!! tony is looking for a solo win

 

[Der Effe]

Flat tire for Van Aert. Well I guess it is better to have bad luck now than on Sunday.
