E3 Saxo Classic 2026, March 27

[Brullnux]

Mind numbingly dumb. You're 2 seconds away – it's one final effort and then play games.

 

[jono]

Hagenes and Abra messed about too much in the end

I blame Vermeersch.

 

[VanBsr]

I am ashamed of my sport..

 

[Ulfhednar]

Absolute joke!

 

[RedheadDane]

THIS IS THE WORST RACE I EVER SAW

THIS SUCKS
THIS ABSOLUTELY SUCKS
IT'S MENTAL

IT'S A SHAME

I HAVE NO WORDS

You sure have a lot of words for someone with no words.

 

[Lequack]

They couldn't even beat an injured man.

 

[Monsi]

All Abrahamsen needed to do is just do a bit of effort to close that

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu’s best tactical move to let them think he would stop riding. It disrupted the chasers. Happy he takes it but I imagine he wouldn’t have gone so deep after all.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

They were like 1 strong pull away from catching him ahahahahaha. Shades of aru in the 2016 dauphine.

 

[AmRacer]

Mathieu must to better if he's to win RVV and PR

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No man, ban them from competition, Check the bank accounts, look for abducted family members, HE LITERALLY SAT UP!!! and they still messed it up

 

[ice&fire]

For once, no G2 action from G2?

They waited till the last km

yeah genius stuff!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wout would have won that.

 

[Potomac]

smartest rider won

 

[Salvarani]

Finally Hagenes gets good result for his great legs in the past few weeks

 

[SorelyBoy]

That needs investigating. Seriously WTAF?

 

[VanBsr]

Decathlon simply cannot become a top-tier team. They have numbers, but they are not champions. Every race is the same with them.

 

[awavey]

can you really say MvdP was the imperious winner there ?

he wins because he doesnt give up, and raced solo for along time, absolutely, but the rest of the race took the stupid pills for today, theres no way he should have won the race doing that, and its not his ability that made the rest act so dumb

I get rationalising it but I don't think it's excusable. If you haven't made contact and it's 2s away with 800m to go, you should not and cannot sit up. Collective brain fade

 

[Boehmand]

LOL, those 4 will be kicking themselves for the rest of their lives

 

[Salvarani]

They had all bet their monthly salary on MVDP winning this race

Probably, but he did a 70k solo, riding against a big peloton for most of that time, and then a strong group had been out of the wind almost all day took 30km to close 45 seconds.

Actually he gave up. He stopped riding but G2 stopped riding more.

 

[KZD]

Damn Abrahamsen, Hagenes and Dewulf were absolute rxxxxxs at the end, they raced for second when the chance of getting first was so close.

64km solo win for Van der Poel, one of the biggest of his career however I am not fully convinced with his level ahead of RVV.
