E3 Saxo Classic 2023, one day classic, March 24

[Sciatic]

Pog needs a stronger teammate for these races

 

[Gigs_98]

With the headwind after this climb and the big bunch, they can be caught before Paterberg.

Absolutely possible. But you surely have to be worried if a three man group with men from the two strongest teams + Mohoric gets loose

 

[Netserk]

I think Van Hooydonck should work with the group, he can win today.

 

[DNP-Old]

I find it quite baffling that Ben Turner and his broken arm are the only two INEOS to make the initial cut.

 

[Red Rick]

Where is Ganna? Did he get dropped?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I think Van Hooydonck should work with the group, he can win today.

The problem is that he's probably the worst sprinter of the three, and he has more teammates behind than the other two.

 

[Bolder]

MvdP doing a lot of work here. With the Kraken out there, I'd be hiding out of the wind for as long as possible...

 

[Berniece]

I think Van Hooydonck should work with the group, he can win today.

I think he should work too, but his chances to win are very slim. Of those 3, I would think the other two are stronger.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Mohorix surely in a great position from here?

 

[Netserk]

What are they doing, they should pull the group, not attack it.

 

[Lequack]

I think Van Hooydonck should work with the group, he can win today.

Yes the three in front are strong enough to win it together, but it seems Jumbo and Alpecin are trying for Wout and MVDP. Only Mohoric is trying full on.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The cobbles must be agony for Turner's half-healed elbow, lots of respect that he's not only racing here but going well too.

 

[Netserk]

The problem is that he's probably the worst sprinter of the three, and he has more teammates behind than the other two.

Yes, but he can play the teammates behind card after the climbs in the finale. Until then it's worth making sure that they get so far.

 

[Sciatic]

Ouch

 

[Bolder]

that was a brutal crash for the UNO X rider. that hurt my knee just watching it...

 

[Lequack]

Oh damn that was a horrible crash Directly into the edge of the pavement.

 

[Netserk]

Damn, Van Baarle.

MvdP goes!

 

[Third Time Lucky]

crashes galore

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Two Jumbos, two Alpecins and two... Slovenians.

 

[KZD]

Van der Poel attacks, Van Aert and Pogačar react and Van Baarle falls, he could be a big loss for Jumbo.

 

[Bolder]

C'mon Wout, pull!

 

[DNP-Old]

Wout looked good with these two reactions to Mathieu.

 

[Breezy1985]

That's an awful sore crash for the Uno-X lad.

 

[Sciatic]

This should be final group

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This feels like the group that goes all the way. Especially with this motopacing.
