E3 Saxo Classic 2024, one day classic, March 22

[Tim Cahill]

Braindead gimmick attack from Van Aert, you aren't chasing him back alone, wait for a few people

 

[tobydawq]

Wout launches himself.

 

[Lequack]

What is Wout doing, he has a teammate he can work with and he just goes awy?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

*** sake, it's so over

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

 

[Elos Anjos]

How's that moto pacing Wout?

 

[tobydawq]

26 seconds is the gap.

 

[LookProGoSlow]

Wva should just go and test himself.

Indeed. And so he does. I’m not charmed (again) today of his defensive race style. Try an attack once ffs.

 

[Andre]

Pog has no chance against MVDP in Flanders my opinion.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Dumb move by Van Aert. Van der Poel historically will fade after a long solo. He should have stayed with a small group and maintain a strong pace, keep the gap around 25-35 seconds for a while.

 

[DJO]

Surely WVA would be better off with that little group, rather than dropping them.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wout has brought back 10 seconds already

Ride long range against MvdP. Valuable intel going into RVV and Roubaix.

I mean, no one cares about this race anyway, no?

 

[Elos Anjos]

Pog has no chance against MVDP in Flanders my opinion.

He has no chance because he is not going.
And he beat MVDP already.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Difference here is that if that had been Pog who attacked on the Taaienberg, the race would have been over. MVDP not on that level.

Fortunately not.

 

[Lequack]

Maybe Wout is all in for Jorgensonn.

 

[Netserk]

Very nice, I think Wout can catch him.

 

[Elos Anjos]

WVA fell on purpose to pursuit MVDP, tire him out and win RVV and PR.

Masterclass.

 

[Didinho]

No Pedersen in G3.

 

[Volderke]

37.5K TT. Normally WvA should be just that bit better.
But this is a race, it's a finale, we have a committed MvdP who proved to be the better. So the odds are still in favour of MvdP.

But who knows the chasers will organize and come back on everyone? If so, Jorgensen FTW

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

WvA has halved the gap already in only a few km.

 

[tobydawq]

I think Wout will catch him.

 

[Andre]

He has no chance because he is not going.
And he beat MVDP already.

Oh ok...I thought Pog was going. Too bad.

 

[meat puppet]

WvA has halved the gap already in only a few km.

Will surely come to bite him but well done so far

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu better sit up and go all in on the Tiegemberg again.

 

[glassmoon]

lol... lidl lost without Mads in the group
