E3 Saxo Classic 2023, one day classic, March 24

[Devil's Elbow]

The main disadvantage of this era is that we've often had at least half an hour of nothing between the mutants cutting everyone else loose and them sprinting it out. Today is no exception, still been a really good race of course.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Belgian pozzato should be disqualified, taking chain lube from a moving vehicle is illegal

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hopefully they get a move on so we can see the 200m uphill sprint in Catalunya

 

[Lequack]

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

Yes but not today, this is Strade Bianche MVDP now.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Yes but not today, this is Strade Bianche MVDP now.

Which Strade?

'Well that his (Wout) bathroom sorted. If he wins it, he'll might be able to sort his kitchen out to'

I think it's just the natural consequence of the routes that are E3 and De Ronde.

Damn, the group was 6, I had an online therapy session and when I come back it's down to 3. I assume I missed all the good stuff and now it's just going to be a sprint.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pogacar should've started finessing 20km ago

Yup.

Pogi swung his hammer a few times. Van Aert was momentarily dropped on Kwaremont.

 

[Red Rick]

Watch group 2 come back but still Pog, MvdP and WvA come top 3.

 

[Sciatic]

As green for 4th?

Ugh, autocorrect doesn’t know cycling!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pogacar should've started finessing 20km ago

Pogacar has been scarred for life by finishing fourth in a two-rider sprint last year, now he's too scared of the Mohoric group coming back. Which they probably would if he stopped working, tbf.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Aert the dumbest of the three. Again.

 

[KZD]

Van Aert is very generous. Working for Van der Poel once again.

 

[Gigs_98]

I'm absolutely confused why the two great sprinters Van Aert and VdP both aren't willing to work with Pogacar. They are the ones who would lose out right?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Pogi deserves this.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Van Wheelsuckers. Shameful.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bad move by Pogacar and now he's stuck on the front.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

The one who has had his nose least in the wind will win but I hope not.

 

[meat puppet]

In before the he did not target this crowd

 

[Lequack]

Vintage Wout, poker facing the other two into thinking he's not at his best.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Damn Wout! The weakest of the three wins. Wish Pogi had taken this but it was hard to see that happening when it came down to a three up sprint.

 

[Bolder]

Nice! I was pulling for Wout.
