E3 Harelbeke, Friday 25th March 2016, 206.4km, WT

[Billie]

Boy van Poppel can help untill the Kwaremont now

 

[TMP402]

Where is Rowe? I see Kwiatkowski and what looks like Stannard for Sky.

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Is that Stybar sucking fabian's wheel as always?

 

[infeXio]

Stybar sucking his way to the front again

 

[Jspear]

It's a shame they can use the gutter here.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Completely different speed

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Is this the moment we have to explain people Stybar is not a wheelsucker when not taking turns?

People who understand racing will understand.

Riding tactically doesn't mean he's not sucking wheels, though ;-) Not taking turns for Cancellara is the smart move, but sucking wheels nevertheless.

I know that it makes sense for him. Strategy and stuff. But I never saw a great solo performance from him. Never. Always sucking. Even on that Roubaix that he was wheel sucking Fabian and punctured.

Great champions in these races race differently. See Devolder Vs Tom's Ronde wins.

Why would he help when Etix have 3 in the front group

Missed the first split I think.

I think he did his share of work in Strade B last year.

Yes he's sitting on wheels in the second group, if they get a bit closer I can see him bridging

 

[Jspear]

E3 hasn't been nice to Cancellara the last 2 years.

Ah. He had been quite good recently at sparking the split in the peloton by attacking on a hill.

 

[rick james]

Stybar doing well to hang in there

 

[rick james]

Kristoff looks a mess

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Sagan doesn't seem to have it at all... or does him?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Oss and Terpstra gone away with somebody else.
Kristoff disappointing

 

[rehy90]

Sagan nice move

 

[doperhopper]
