Gent–Wevelgem – In Flanders Fields 2025

[RedheadDane]

Apparently, one of the tactics Pedersen used last year, was telling VDP "You're World Champion!" in order to get him to pull.
Unlike what Sanne Jacobsen claimed, I don't think that's a tactic he can try this year.
Well, he can try, but I think he'd get some funny looks.

 

[Didinho]

Gianni flat again. First time right before the Moeren.

 

[Netserk]

Vermeersch with a puncture.

It will split again soon.

 

[Salvarani]

De Lie is out of this

 

[Didinho]

Trying echelons again. Ineos and Bora.

 

[Netserk]

Most didn't have time to move up after the two groups merged.

 

[Netserk]

Visma and Trek ready to go.

 

[Samamba]

Race will be somewhat hard due to the wind. There's so much stress, they will go all out almost all the way to the finish cause they have too with the crosswind all the time

 

[Didinho]

Lot of chaos when 1 team goes to the front. They’re gonna crash soon.

 

[Samamba]

That's an awkward spot for echelons with that cobbles strip on the side of the road

 

[Tim Cahill]

It looks absolutely foul out there, any sprinter who is still there at the end has earnt it.

 

[Netserk]

Kooij, Démare, Pedersen near the front.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Another split....

 

[Heston]

Only 20 km until the first ride up Kemmelberg. I guess Trek are gonna attack there

 

[Netserk]

Girmay is also there. Milan too.

 

[postmanhat]

30 riders in the front group?

 

[Didinho]

More groups now. Will be harder to come back. The strongest riders will already be separated on the Kemmel.

 

[Samamba]

Girmay is also there. Milan too.

And without wasting a lot of energy. Some riders have wasted a lot already without definitive splits. This will probably come back together again even.

 

[Netserk]

2? QS riders. One is Lampaert.

 

[Didinho]

2? QS riders. One is Lampaert.

Magnier not there. In group 2. With Philipsen and Merlier.

 

[Netserk]

Philipsen, Merlier, Lamperti in the chase group.

 

[MartinGT]

De Lie is out of this

He was well behind passing me.

 

[Netserk]

First chasers are getting back.

 

[Didinho]

Group 2 closer again. Gonna be chaos to go in front when they merge.
I think it will get slower now untill the hill zone.
