European Championships 2023: Road Races (September 22-24)

[QueenStagiaire]

LOL what the hell

 

[Aimar16]

So it will be Jumbo 1-2-3

 

[AmRacer]

Team JV did it again.

 

[Red Rick]

If Van Aert loses yet another sprint of a small(er) group for the win here, it should be the last one he gets to do for Belgium given that Philipsen and De Lie exist.

I don't know does this one count.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Eh what was that? Gift or just ran out of steam by Wout?

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

1. Kuss 2. Roglic 3. Vingegaard

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wout
Mr. 2nd

 

[KZD]

Lol not even with an incredible De Lie working for him, Van Aert manages to win this.

Another 1-2-3 for Jumbo

 

[tobydawq]

Okay, that was exciting! Poor Wout.

 

[Lequack]

People (Belgains) will say Wout let Laporte win because they are teammates.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Is there anything Wout won't give to his teammates?

 

[Tim Cahill]

De Lie absolutely nailed that with an insane pull but WVA couldn't finish it off unfortunately.

 

[Didinho]

Just kidding. Wout 2nd.

What a monster pull from De Lie, would’ve loved to see him behind Wout in the last km.

 

[Peyroteo94]

How can WVA lose this type of races?

 

[nightowl]

Jumbo 1-2-3 getting really old at this point

 

[Rackham]

Motor pacing ruined that. I'm not usually someone who rants about that sort of stuff but that was ridiculous in the final 5km. Laporte had a clear draft.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

LOL, it's practically identical to the women's race in the outcome... just that the chasing Jumbots got closer to the winning Jumbot than the chasing SD Worker Ants got to the winning SD Worker Ant

 

[IndianCyclist]

One of the best sprints ever

 

[johnymax]

Yes! The greatest! It was never in doubt.

Wout should have worked for De Lie not the other way around...

 

[tobydawq]

And just before people begin being stupid. No, Wout did not gift Laporte the win again.

 

[F_Cance]

this weekend really showed that pro cycling is not in a good state.

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Van Aert just waisted a chance to do what he can do best, domestique

 

[Didinho]

Good that he gave Wevelgem away. He can’t even beat him in a sprint after 200km 😁

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I don't know does this one count.

Yes. Either De Lie was stronger, or Van Aert gifted this to Laporte. In both cases, that should disqualify you from doing the sprints instead of De Lie.

Celebrating will soon feel like a chore in Jumbo camp
