Eschborn-Frankfurt (1.UWT) 1. May 2018 - 211 km

[Dekker_Tifosi]

i remember in the past they used to broadcast the entire day as well. Same for Köln (does that course still excist?)

 

[RedheadDane]

Why couldn't they have shown us the finale of the U23 race live? It's not exactly like the WT race is being super exciting right now...

Re:

Are they riding for Gaviria or Jakobsen?

Gaviria is wearing bib number 41 and his lead out man Richeze is there as well.

 

[Laplaz]

Jakobsen was far back on that climb now, not a good sign.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Just switched on to hear Kirby declare that Lambrecht would be the main leadout guy for Hofland before I could find the mute button

 

[Laplaz]

Tratnik giving it a go

 

[RedheadDane]

Danish commentators actually started commentating the kiddie's race. :lol:

 

[El Pistolero]

The *** are they constantly focusing on a nobody like Rick Zabel getting dropped when they're climbing one of the decisive hills? I'll say it again, what a worthless race.

 

[Laplaz]

Great to see De Plus attacking on his 1st race day this season!

 

[staubsauger]

Zabel was 2nd last year and one of the favorites to win Eschborn-Frankfurt if it ends in a sprint.

Was Jacobsen the Quick Step rider ahead of Zabel on the mountain?

Hofland actually leads Lotto here since Greipel is only back from injury. Kirby is correct here.

Bora needs to close the gap for Bennett now. Although Mühlberger shouldn't be underestimated from a small group. Same goes for Simon Spilak of course, who has won in Frankfurt before.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I like how Matthews is always aggressive in circumstances like these.

 

[El Pistolero]

Nice race by Matthews so far. I wonder if he can bridge.

 

[Vroome.exe]

Gaviria looking relaxed on the climb. I don't think de Plus should work in that break.

 

[Laplaz]

Grega Bole will win this bike race.

 

[Gigs_98]

Does anyone know who is in the leading group? Although it doesn't look like they are gonna make it anyway.

Re: Re:

Looks nice

Will Gaviria be bit enough to survive? I certainly hope so!

Given his results in Romandie, I doubt it.

Well, it seems I was wrong.

 

[staubsauger]

Mühlberger & Buchmann, Spilak & Politt, De Plus, Bernard, Gogl, Bole

Re:

Mühlberger & Buchmann, Spilak & Politt, De Plus, Bernard, Gogl, Bole

Only Bernard, Bole, Buchmann and Spilak now. But only 8 seconds gap.

 

[DNP-Old]

Incredible how bad the tv directors are. Peloton is only consisting of 50 riders and not once did we see how or why that happened.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yves against the world!

 

[Bardamu]

Why did Gaviria miss the last turn? It's not like he hadn't been there some times already.

 

[Laplaz]

Kristoff again. 2nd Bling, 3rd Naesen.

 

[drebelo]

What was Gaviria thinking

 

[Valv.Piti]

Gaviria makes so many rookie mistakes

 

[Gigs_98]

What a great sprint. Really hoped Matthews could get it
