E3 Saxo Classic 2024, one day classic, March 22

[search]

No Pedersen in G3.

E3 has never really been a good race for him

 

[gerundium]

WvA and MVDP neutralize each other like this. i will go with a lazkano final km attack when the group comes back

 

[Andre]

Nice fancy watch MVDP

 

[glassmoon]

we will get mano a mano at last

 

[Volderke]

Problem for WvA: they're not done climbing yet. MvdP can pace himself better and is already the better one uphill, so on the top of the climbs he should make the gap bigger.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Big headwind, G3 need to stop mucking around, Girmay hasn't hit the front all day, biggest wheelsucker since Roglic.

This is insane from Wout. Maybe people should stop saying he's over the hill.

And maybe Mathieu isn't having his best day. That needs to be considered too because it's not like the group behind is being killed.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Massive statement from WvA, falling then bridging 34 seconds to catch MvdP.

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu gone again. Wout looks knackered.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wout looks dead now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yes I think WVA looks better on the flat, VdP on climbs, it bodes well for him for Roubaix at least.

 

[Netserk]

If he bridges across, it will be interesting to see how quickly they will cooperate.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Wout looks dead now.

He's alive, I literally see him pedaling,

 

[Salvarani]

How many times have Wout been behind and chased MVDP in his life?

 

[Earns1985]

van der Poel should ride Fleche Wallone one time. I think he would win it. At least, if Pogacar isn´t there..

 

[Volderke]

WvA better loses time on the climb, as long as he keeps something in the tank on the flats. It's still more than 30K.

 

[DNP-Old]

Van der Poel is angry. Someone protect the children.

 

[tobydawq]

The gap is 19 seconds at the top.

 

[Netserk]

I much prefer this mano a mano chase over the group ride to finish last year.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Oh man he's not happy, some 12 year old girl is about to get a thrashing after the race.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

E3 down to E2 now?

 

[wheresmybrakes]

He's alive, I literally see him pedaling,

Engine?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

17s
22s

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looks like more than 15 seconds tbh

 

[Volderke]

Looks like more than 15 seconds tbh

it's 22s, so I guess it's over.
