Dwars Door Vlaanderen

[Samamba]

Valverde on the Trieu is gonna be great.

Re: Re:

Who said Valverde couldn't ride those races? Of course he can and if he chooses to do Flanders, he can do even better on a harder course

Last time he rode Dwaars, he also was top-3 over Taaienberg. Disappeared later.

He didn't dissapeared, was chasing Terpstra in the 4 man group until last 5-10 km, then catched by the peloton.

Yeah, he is gone now as well, nowhere to be found.........

I mean, just give him the credit he deserves man. It cant be that hard.

Valverde there with GVA, Degenkolb, Stybar, Moscon and Benoot taking long pulls and attacking.

Why on earth hasn't he been racing these classics before?

Looks like Terpstra is still in.

What was it? Valverde is here to get a feel of the cobbles?
Yeah, looks like he's got that...

 

[Krokro]

Soon going to the clinic, this is beyond ridiculous

 

[Velolover2]

What are the chances of Valverde racing De Ronde now?

That little Movistar rider ain't that bad. We'll hear a lot from him in the future

Not sure why you guys act surprised. He already did well in this race in 2014. It's just a semi-classic with small hills in it, the cobbled sections don't make that much of a difference in this race.

You guys sure love to over-hype anything he does lol.

And he will always have his past against him, so I don't see why everyone cheers him on. Sport will continue to rot if we do.

 

[WheelofGear]

Stop chasing, Lotto-Jumbo..

Hopefully Groenewegen is not there.

Re:

He isn't, it's van Poppel.

 

[Rollthedice]

Where is Van Avermaet, with Quintana somewhere?

Re:

He's not, but Van Poppel is.

Yeah, if the hills were bigger he would be struggling more. Weakest climber in this field, right?

Who is this talented young unknown cobble racer from Movistar? Looking good today, glad to see new spanish talent in northern classics.

He isn't, it's van Poppel.

French TV keeps telling they are pulling Groenewegen back but I don't recognize him. So DVP it is!

@Rollthedice: GVA is in the front group

You sure like to criticise everything he does.

Re:

This is incredible. Valverde's almost effortlessly forcing selections like Sagan or GVA at their peak.

Almost is an important almost.

 

[WheelofGear]

Benoot again with GVA on this wheel.

 

[SKSemtex]

This is proper cycling. Forget about July Sunday riding.
