E3 Saxo Classic 2026, March 27

decathlon can save the team to lead out lund

MVDP is hardly trying, this is just training for RVV.

Might as well be the last time he rides Paterberg and Kwaremont at the front this year

 

[Devil's Elbow]

very hard to see how pedersen gets fully ready in time for roubaix

This effort on the Varent at least looks better than the uphill ones. Might also be the combination of climbing and cobbles that's hardest on his hand, not the cobbles in and of themselves.

 

[Red Rick]

The fact that he only has a minute and change on such a poor chase bodes dreadfully for RVV and Roubaix.

 

[RedheadDane]

Oh, I see X2O also sponsors this race.
Hello, duck!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The fact that he only has a minute and change on such a poor chase bodes dreadfully for RVV and Roubaix.

Literally everything about this race bodes dreadfully for what is to come.

If Lund is there Decathlon should risk it and ride no? yeah sucks for Dewulf but...

 

[Samamba]

Van Der Poel is losing time...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van der Poel losing time on the Tiegemberg is unusual. He was so very beatable today.

 

[Monsi]

Why the hell am I holding on to hope that MVDP will be caught by the chasers when I know he is not gonna get caught

 

[Tim Cahill]

Gap coming down in comedic fashion, just ticking down nicely enough for everyone to look stupid when he wins by 5 seconds.

 

[Salvarani]

35-40 seconds if timing correct

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They're getting closer, but I don't really see them continue to cooperate well if they get inside 20 seconds.

 

[Netserk]

they should indeed

Still struggling with an injury caused by Pogacar taking down the peloton

Daily mention, check.

You or Van der Poel?

 

[Samamba]

He still is beatable I think...
But teams have to make the right decision.

It's like 1 guy from FDJ working.. Vacek, Haller, Red Bull... they should all be pushing.

I think he just did what he needed to do no?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Kudos to the organisation for putting no motors in front of either Van der Poel or the chase, by the way.

 

[Tim Cahill]

29 Seconds.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Why does he get the team car with 35 seconds at 17 k to go to motivate him?

 

[Netserk]

good for morale if they can get close to him

 

[Monsi]

MVDP does seem catchable today

 

[Squire]

There's a bunch of RB riders in the group, and they have done nothing since TVD set up VDP's attack.
