E3 Saxo Classic 2025, one day classic, March 28

[Netserk]

Jorgenson attacks over the top.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jorgenson too eager as usual

 

[Didinho]

Could be a strong group if these get away.

 

[Bolder]

This isn't getting away.

 

[Netserk]

Fine move to entice others without committing.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Van der Poel is in the front split.

 

[Juan Pelota]

When do the favorites usually go in this race?

 

[Samamba]

I still havent tuned in, so I've only seen the situation at PCS and it makes zero sense. At PCS they had at one point listed 5 Uno-X riders in the front group, now Resell, Hoelgaard and Tiller, but looking at the video Netserk posted earlier it was obvious that 5 Uno-X riders where in the group with Alpecin.

Yeah I went of PCS but then right after I posted I saw at least 4 rider in the main peloton so that's not possible haha

 

[Heston]

This seems perfect for VdP tbh

 

[Heston]

Mohoric

 

[Netserk]

Taaienberg.

 

[Mayomaniac]

He's skipping the Ardennes?? I already thought it was weird to have him ride here, but that's just ridiculous.

But apparently Romandie afterwards. I mean, E3 + RVV + Ardennes and the Romandie would be overkill, but you don't skip the Ardennes classics for that...

 

[Samamba]

Mohoric spring is basically over

 

[jono]

Mohoric

Hasn't been the same since he DNFed Unbound.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

You can say that in 116km again.

That's a different Alpecin guy

 

[Didinho]

That's a different Alpecin guy

Everyone knows Gianni will win this.

 

[Tim Cahill]

There's a disgusting descent round about here iirc, good to be at the front

 

[Didinho]

Correct. But safe through now.

Mathieu threw his jacket away. Final can begin.

 

[Samamba]

Mohoric another example of how a bit of sickness can ruin your whole spring.

 

[search]

AG2R, who on your team thinks that it's funny to send Paret-Peintre to E3 and RVV and have him skip the Ardennes classics?

He's skipping the Ardennes?? I already thought it was weird to have him ride here, but that's just ridiculous.

I can't find the interview right now, but APP already said a couple of weeks ago that he is looking forward to that new challenge, and to try the cobbled classics instead. It sounded like a decision he is absolutely fine with himself.

 

[Heston]

De Gendt attacks!

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert and Visma far back.

 

[Brullnux]

I'm really enjoying the new Ineos, I like that they're filled with good but not great riders

 

[Didinho]

Good to have Ineos drilling it now to have a line to the Taaienberg.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tarkington about to launch....
