[Skalman]

Who is the QS rider in third?

 

[Bonimenier]

DQS strong today.

Stybar

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Adam Blythe has a funny sense of humor: "Tim Declercq is one of the best riders in the peloton"

 

[jaylew]

Masterclass from QS so far. They've made VdP waste a ton of energy and they're in a great position. I guess the only question is if they can finish it off.

I don't understand how anyone can be watching one of those other two races right now.

Well, he is one of the best at his job at least.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Only Brunel working in the peloton = gaps growing quickly.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Well, he is one of the best at his job though.

At the bottom of the foodchain but true.

 

[Keram]

They better start riding or Asgreen has this in the bag.

Agreed, a great exhibition of how to maximise your chances with multiple strong riders but no top favourite. Even if they lose, they played it well.

 

[Bonimenier]

Stybar looks really, really good.

 

[red_flanders]

MvdP going nuts again, pulling everyone. Boy is feeling strong. Asgreen's days in front are numbered.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Stybar looks really, really good.

Didn't think he'd ever ride this well again before today.

 

[Bolder]

This is a very good race. Wout, Greg, Mathieu, Zdenek as chasers? I'm in.

 

[jaylew]

Stybar looks really, really good.

He's been great all day.

Stybar, WVA, MVDP, GVA

GVA isn't helping at all.

Edit: I forgot he's got Naesen up the road.

 

[Volderke]

It's an awesome race. Often better than Tour of Flanders!

 

[Skalman]

Greg is just sitting on?

 

[gerundium]

Greg is just sitting on?

has Naesen in front of him still

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Greg is just sitting on?

Anyone not named Wout or Matthieu who takes a single pull with them should be subjected to the concussion protocol immediately

 

[red_flanders]

Not any more.

Wout needs medical attention stat.

Mathieu has a teammate now so he should help.

This race is so good

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Question for the Danes here. Asgreen, do you pronounce the "green" like the color green (in English) or more like the word grain (in English)? Sporza commentators always pronounce it like the color green.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Turgis has been so consistent this spring.

 

[jaylew]

Both Naesen and GVA sitting in
