That moment you realize Movistar is now better in Flanders than in Spain...

And better in Flanders than QS...

That's ok, Quickstep is now better in Spain than in Flanders, and also better in Spain than Movistar.

And Quickstep is better in Spain than in Flanders!

I think it's up to Pogi to open the hostilities, and I think he should do so a bit more than 5 km to go.

 

[Sciatic]

They called it the Spanish Netherlands for a reason

Perfect

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Think all three of them are happy enough to let it come down to a sprint tbh, in no small part because it's difficult to start playing games in a group of 3.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

It will probably be a sprint... hard to look past VdP in that case.

Probably that is the case.

But seeing as wva is a bit behind form-wise, he should go for a sneaky flyer after the kite. Just once, you know, like try it out.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

It was on the Tiegemberg that VDP attacked in 2021, right?

Yes, coming over the top of Van aert who was doing some stupid half-pull half-attack

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It will probably be a sprint... hard to look past VdP in that case.

It's up to the other two to force him to start the sprint from first position.

 

[Lequack]

Wout with new chain lube will have the watt advantage now.

I also don't think it's a group where they're not just not gonna react.

 

[Sciatic]

It's up to the other two to force him to start the sprint from first position.

But that’s how he won cross world’s— controlling the speed at the front and picking his spot to accelerate?

 

[Netserk]

I also don't think it's a group where they're not just not gonna react.

That is why you don't fire your best bullet first. A false attack to break the cooperation, and then hope for a moment to emerge where you give it your best.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

? What is Belgian pozAto doing?

 

[Red Rick]

They're talking about which bar they're going to tonight?

 

[RedheadDane]

Movistar, the cobbled team.

 

[Red Rick]

Today is a great day for the "WAAR IS QUICK STEP" memes

The obvious answer is probably Catalunya.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Pog may try sth in the last 2-5 km hoping for a moment of hesitation between Vans. MVP is a big concern for him surely. WVA's sprint after a difficult race can be a bit hampered.

 

[Lequack]

So Wout and Pog will just let MVDP win?

 

[Sciatic]

They're talking about which bar they're going to tonight?

That was definitely an interesting-looking chat

Quickstep and Movistar just... switched.

 

[Riek s]

So Wout and Pog will just let MVDP win?

we have seen before that MVDP can be dead in the sprint as well, while looking the strongest on the climbs before.

 

[Red Rick]

They're already pacing calmly.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Faster you lazy bums! They are starting the climb in Catalunya.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Yooooo, an American dude is in the mix for the top 10. Another sign of the apocalypse.
