I wonder if he‘ll fight to hang on on La Houppe or just phone it in after 77 kilometers.

Didn't even make it halfway to 77km my god . Streets won't forget such a performance

You could take most forum users, put them in a picnic kit and they would do better than fabio

 

[Netserk]

[Netserk]

The 'Danish Rob Hatch' commentating with Matti Breschel, is that Anders Mielke? He was also commentating Tirreno. Interesting to hear a Dane use rolling Rs when pronouncing Italian and Flemish names.

Watching at work so I'll have to be at least somewhat judicious - when will the real action be kicking off?

Although I'm classroom teacher and this is the last day before a week break. So maybe the students will be enjoying 120km of E3 today as well.

Every interview this morning the rider said Taaienberg. Like most years.

Picnic not even being able to make it into the early break despite trying really hard is basically their current state in a nutshell.

 

[Andy262]

When does the Sporza stream start?

 

[Didinho]

Yes but I expect a couple hills earlier already everyone will want to be in front for the smaller roads so they can stay there until Taaienberg.

When does the Sporza stream start?

It doesn't. VTM has the rights. It's already live there, you can watch through VTM Go

Got a little concerned for that Jayco rider before for a second. The guy with something white in front of his face; for a second I thought it was one of those "Well, we better patch you up real quick, so you can continue this race." bandages.

Also, I know I've written that I'd like to have the graphics in the local language, but I think the interesting info stuff should still be in English.
So... what's the deelname of F. Vermeersch?

The "A team" has only just now missed Pidcock over at Catalunya.

 

[Didinho]

Can that decathlon rider give Zorro’s mask back please.

Ow that’s TTT specialist Hoole. Heaven wear whatever he wants. My bad.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Spoiler: Cross-race reference

Them too? Same for the TV2 guys.

 

[Netserk]

vamos , great group !

 

[Netserk]

...

dont be an arse

 

[Sciatic]

Well, you also forgot Cancellara in 2010 and 2013 and Terpstra in 2018.

This double is actually extremely common for the past 21 years where it has happened eight times.

I stand corrected! It was just a quick off-the-cuff joke that I obviously didn't research

 

[Samamba]

That's a great group to anticipate, some of them might go far here

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rarer than a hen's tooth Picnic well represented with 2 riders in a big race in 2026!

 

[Netserk]

both lidl amd alpecin are severely underpowered in the group

should try to disrupt that group as much as possible
