E3 Harelbeke March 26, 2021

[Zinoviev Letter]

No Lotto, AG2R, Ineos, EF

there’s an EF on the back I think

 

[Mayomaniac]

Milan really suffering in the leaders group after getting dropped from the breakaway.

 

[jaylew]

Van Aert dropped into the second peloton. Could see things coming back together now, IMO.

Yeah, not good for the attackers

 

[jaylew]

there’s an EF on the back I think

He was dropped from the original breakaway

 

[KZD]

Van Aert to go nuclear in the next climbs

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Everyone in the peloton looking at Jumbo to do all the work...

 

[jaylew]

Jumbo is going to bring this back, I think. At the very least, they'll get Wout close enough to bridge

 

[Mayomaniac]

Mechanical for Milan?

 

[jaylew]

Asgreen helping WVA

 

[Bonimenier]

Not a smart attack by Asgreen. DQS not riding anymore made it a lot easier for van Aert to bridge the gap.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Trentin always missing the right moment from trying something.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Ooooo

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Van Der Poel!

 

[WKA311]

Ineos are nowhere today

 

[jaylew]

MVP goes as Wout gets back to the group

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is a great race so far.

 

[jaylew]

Looked like Benoot and GVA made it across as well

 

[Samu Cuenca]

DQS were trying to keep JV under pressure by sending a guy up the road. The van Aert group was about to close the gap anyway.

 

[jaylew]

Wasted energy by VdP here, I think

Seems he agreed. All back together, minus Asgreen.

 

[Volderke]

Not the smartest move by MvdP: he needs good riders like WvA to bridge to Asgreen.
Instead he tries to make it difficult for WvA, and rather wastes energy with 2 DQS riders in his wheel...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Trentin's turn for a flat.

 

[Keram]

Great cycling so far. Everybody attacking like crazy. Trentin puncture not good timing

 

[Mayomaniac]

How much energy does Haller have today?

 

[Bolder]

Vdp expends a lot of energy but that's great for the race.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

CX multiple world champions only right now.
