E3 Saxo Classic 2025, one day classic, March 28

...Wout finally starting to ride? Is he just out training today or somehting?

Tough to imagine anything making a difference at this point. Too much firepower in that front group.

One of three scenarios: 1, What Wout is doing was planned, and this is a training day. 2. Wout is incompetent again in his racing tactics. 3. Wout will never return to getting 2nd places.

He's still hiding and training like on the volcano.
He has the legs but the mental coach didn't prepare him for racing instead of training!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

As for the front group. I wonder if Pedersen and Ganna know who MVDP is. I think someone needs to tell them that riding with Mathieu at this point only diminishes their already slim chances. Make Mathieu do all the work. It's your only chance, even if small.

These guys will always race like this man, perderson been doing it for years.

Pedersen ftw

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Whoa, you folks are harsh today!

and @Ilmaestro99 isn't even here

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pedersen ftw

Pedersen ft2nd

WVA is so washed. Visma is winning a lot but WVA is more overcooked than chinese meat.

How is the wind after the hills? Tail or head?

 

[Netserk]

Mathieu, Mads and Ganna were all in peloton 2 a couple hours ago. Just saying.

Brian Holm thought it was a mistake for Visma to pull in the first group with Van Aert behind ...

headwind, and not unimportant: there could be rain / wet roads in the last 30 minutes of racing. So Pedersen FTW (2 chances out of 5 if they stick together!)

As I posted earlier it would be a resurrection greater than that of the son of God himself.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I hope he’s planning a peak for just a bit later. Would make sense if he had been at altitude

You can't increase massively in one week.

Pedersen ft2nd

Pedersen ftw and ft2nd!




(Not likely, I know)

After what i saw today its crazy to think in hindsight that pedersen could have won sanremo if he wasn't ill after PN & was well positioned for pogs cipressa attack

 

[Peyroteo94]

MVP will cook them with one leg in Paterberg.

It had no inluence on the situation we have now though. Jörgenson wasn't pulling. Visma just badly positioned and Wout and Matteo not with the legs to bridge up and over the Taaienberg.

He did the exact same schedule last year and was clearly the second strongest in this race back then. It is very simply a question of him not being good enough, and like I said previously I don't buy that it's all on the knee.

Ganna is so happy in a break with the favorite he want to prove himself and take pulls only to later get dropped on the next steep climb. He needs to stop taking pulls, let the favorites work double shifts, it's their race to lose.

Thanks for keeping an eye on me mate

Ah that was when I was typing. it seems that Wout is not even worthy of his comments any more.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

It makes even less sense for Pedersen and Ganna to fully commit when you realise they are the only riders with a teammate in G2.

He is so overrated for a guy with zero ability to be podium in both RVV and PR.
