Eschborn-Frankfurt 2026, May 1

[Samamba]

Makes me think of the edition where SK Andersen won. Was also a 12ish man group up the road, gap was up to a minute but peloton almost came back in the end. I do think peloton was slightly bigger then, but who knows cause they don't show the peloton now.

I am surprised the gap is stable with the way the front group is going full now.

Nice to see Lotto with two riders here. Hopefully the move sticks.

Engelhart is interesting, he's pretty fast.

last year he had no sprint at all, so I wouldn't be too sure. I think he lost it

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They just showed very brief coverage of Voigt commentating the kids race. There was a crash early on, but apparently without consequences.

It looked like it was an EF rider that finished second.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Will we see Ion Izagirre return in 2028 like Pozzovivo?

What a level in his retirement year!

 

[Samamba]

Ok no way that 35s is correct right? It's completely stuck?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Three cameras (two motos, one heli) filming the same group. None filming the peloton.

How interesting.

It's always sad to see rider do that one year too much, but honestly it's also pretty sad to see someone who's still this good retire...

How interesting.

It's avant-garde.

 

[Samamba]

Holy *** show the peloton. Gap is supposedly going down, it's pretty relevant yk

 

[Samamba]

Zimmermann attacking, very dumb.

Engelhart is interesting, he's pretty fast.

Lost his speed. jayco wanted Foldager in this group.

 

[Tim Cahill]

A municipal swimming pool, this is why we all tune in!!!

 

[Samamba]

NSN, UNO X, Ineos, ... probably all working behind. Coincidently teams with sprinters don't have a guy in the front group.

Fabian Wegmann doing everything he can to make sure this isn't a sprint tho. Including not putting moto's with the peloton.

But they didn't show the swimmers up close like they did in LBL.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I thought Hauptfeld was a rider like Gr. Jegat and the broadcasters were just being chauvinistic

 

[Salvarani]

But they didn't show the swimmers up close like they did in LBL.

I dont want to know your search history

 

[Samamba]

The group will start hesitating and attacking at some point, that's probably the chance for the peloton (if they actually exist) to come back

 

[Potomac]

You could mean either group

 

[Danskebjerge]

I just hope UAE loses.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... I need Lund to finish in the top-10ish (I think) in order for him to go into profit.
I also need Baudin to get a lot of points for me to have any sort of chances in the Green Jersey competition in the Spring Classics Game.
Kragh getting a good amount of points would be good for either game.
Valgren getting points will of course be nice too - though he's already into profit.
Where the *** is Foldager?

(Changizi just needs to finish)

 

[search]

they finally found the group behind, with Laurance at the front for Turner. Didn't look too organized, though

 

[Danskebjerge]

It turns out the lack of motorbike draft was only due to the lack of motorbikes.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Three cameras (two motos, one heli) filming the same group. None filming the peloton.

How interesting.

Even Rick Zabel on German television was getting noticeable irritated by the lack of coverage.

Was only like 3 or 4 guys riding. No chance they come back if the front group doesn't start playing poker before the last few km, BUT that's a big if. You can already see a few guys skipping turns now. Most there can't win a sprint so...
