[Tim Cahill]

WVA been studying old Marc Soler tapes

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Just setting the hierarchy.

 

[Red Rick]

Kooij still there do they get the 1-2-3 today?

 

[Didinho]

Kooij and Van Hooydonck 3 and 4. Noted.

 

[Samamba]

Jumbo is just stupid. They're going to have 1 2 and 3.

 

[BR2]

Belgian Pozzato peaking too early and dominating warm up races again

Shut up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The gap always comes down, it's not E3, this isn't by any means over.

Don't think anyone is getting warmed up riding this!

 

[Didinho]

This all to get dropped next week. They can have these.
Hope they gift it to Laporte, all my countrymen will go mental. And Wout is missing his 2nd place already.

Maybe if Quick step had brought a domestique for Merlier instead of that clown Jakobsen

 

[Red Rick]

G2 wondering where Lefevere is having lunch.

Exploding the newbies and the Clinic in the one day? There'd def be something suss about that.

 

[tobydawq]

Okay, fair enough, Merlier is better at this than I thought. What happened to Ewan?

 

[Peyroteo94]

The gap always comes down, it's not E3, this isn't by any means over.

It is over. The peloton is a small group now.

normally Kristoff wins the sprint from the chase group after a race like this. Is he still in there, though?

If Jakobsen would ride with his knees inward he would have bridged. But he rides a bit like Pozzovivo.

 

[BR2]

Shut up.

I think ilmaestro is a part of the cyclingnews team, tasked with spreading the most silly opinions to get more posts and reactions.

 

[SafeBet]

Okay, fair enough, Merlier is better at this than I thought. What happened to Ewan?

He's an avid forum reader and we said the race's over so he quit.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Good call to bring Fabio by QS

I have only seen Asgreen actually working for Merlier. Senechal and these guys are always just sitting there and doing nothing, hoping to capitalize themselves with some secondary result. Makes me sick!

 

[Billie]

Okay, fair enough, Merlier is better at this than I thought. What happened to Ewan?

Ewan was in that group of 10 riders with Stuyven that got gapped on the runin to the Kemmel

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

normally Kristoff wins the sprint from the chase group after a race like this. Is he still in there, though?

I dont think so. Tiller is there and he is just sitting there. If Kristoff was there Tiller would be working.

 

[noob]

Peter Pan churchyard?!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Jeez ... going in the breakaway from the peloton with two guys 1 minute out in front. It's not the way to chase them down. So toxic for the collaboration. As I see it, this kind of miserable chasing has been more common in recent years.
