Gent-Wevelgem 2026, March 29

[Didinho]

Well he needs to cooperate with Wout and Vermeesch if he doesnt want to get caught by the peloton

Doesn’t seem like his tactic for today. After E3 they probably play Philipsen’s card. Otherwise he would already pulled through.

Getting caught by the peloton is not as disadvantageous for Alpecin as it is for Visma or UAE.

Ganna putting the Peloton in a line

 

[Didinho]

Auwtch Turner. Good judo fall though.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf happened there, looked like a superbikes crash.

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

How can someone crash like that?

 

[Salvarani]

Turner crashed

Flew/flipped over

 

[Squire]

Did someone drop a grenade in the peloton? How does he fly out like that?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Turner crashed

Flew/flipped over

Yeah, that looked pretty awful.

 

[E_F_]

Wrong thread for that crash, wrong part of the forum even

 

[Tim Cahill]

Decathlon seem to have spent the entire classics season trying to preserve their leadout train.

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

Decathlon isn't making any progress

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu can be in the same situation again 2 days later. How is the wind to the finish?

Seems like mostly cross/tail

De Pestel and Bissegger vs Van Aert, Van der Poel, Vermeersch and Johansen. Who would have thought.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

WvA and MVDP should be able to take this home if they want.

 

[YavorD]

Van Der Poel has the freedom to not do much.

 

[Heston]

WvA and MVDP should be able to take this home if they want.

Probably yes, but lots of firepower in the peloton still, and several teams with a sprinter they can ride for.

 

[Squire]

LOL, the most 2026 thing ever: The front guy from the massive NSN presence immediately looking behind and on the radio the moment he feels any wind.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

And now the entire peloton is sitting behind just one AG2R rider......

How can someone crash like that?

its a highside, the rear steps out, maybe it got nerfed, maybe it slipped on some liquid,but then regrips suddenly , but you were busy reacting to the slide, maybe grabbed some brakes to settle it or tried to steer into it and it just launches you head first through the gyroscopic effect of a two wheeled bike motion, the bike flip happens because youre still clipped in to begin with so the momentum just carries it along with you till you seperate.

its like a speed wobble but without the speed, and theyre very painful I can attest to that

Aimé de Gendt into no man‘s land

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Last time up Kemmelberg in 3-4 kms.

 

[YavorD]

No sight of Brennan?

 

[jono]

No sight of Brennan?

Only one Visma in the main group and I think it's Laporte.
