Ypres - Wevelgem (168.9 KM)

(Yeah, I have no idea why the climb-info is all on top of each other...)

That's just an annoying wrinkle of PCS' version of the LFR client I'm afraid, when you have several notable points on a route in a small area and they can't be separated by zooming in (e.g. where there's a circuit race and not a large run in or out) they can't be dragged to another location in the vicinity so that they don't overlap, they have to appear where the system first puts them, so if they sit over one another you get this rather hard-to-interpret mess.

Thankfully it's not really an issue for a race like Gent-Wevelgem where the climbs are all pretty well known and the route is fairly consistent, but for some where there are dramatic year on year changes, or stages of stage races (especially the kind of obscure ones that only me and the parents of riders in the race care about), it can be seriously frustrating to get a picture of what the actual route is like.

@Armchair Cyclist, could you get out the glue stick?
Or the welder, dunno what tool you're using to make threads sticky.

I'm not sure van welder can do that.

I'm not sure van welder can do that.

He sticks to his plan of getting dropped every climbing stage.

Curious how the women handle the wind. Could be a hard race all day.

 

[MartinGT]

Great to see Cat Ferguson at sign in. She had so much time for people.

 

[Didinho]

Less wind action than the men’s race.
Maybe they’re all waiting/afraid of the hill zone.

Or in the next Moeren zone.

[Didinho]

Crash and split in the peloton on the Moeren.

About 30 riders behind.

Edit: Veenhoven DNF. Second peloton almost back.

 

[Didinho]

Coverage starts in 5min.

Complete peloton before the hill zone. No more break.

 

[RedheadDane]

Uhm... that was only bikes ending up in the water after that crash?
Not riders...

Most of the times riders have a reaction to unclip before they hit the ground.

 

[Didinho]

Trek riding with SD-Worx while Kopecky looked so easy on the Kemmel. Just safe yourself more.

Longo Borghini dragging the 2nd group back.

 

[JR1012]

It seems like Trek vs SD Worx today.

 

[Didinho]

Cat Ferguson crash. Against the back wheel in front of her. Standing up but a bit in shock.

Lidl Trek attacking at every opportunity.

 

[RedheadDane]

Trek pretty active.










Inspired by the men's race?

Yes, I'm sure they were all watching it.

Yes, I'm sure they were all watching it.

Could have gotten some news over the radio.

 

[Andy262]

Sram chasing, not sure why.

 

[Didinho]

Perfect moment for these in front. Surviving the Kemmel maybe.

 

[Didinho]

Sram chasing, not sure why.

Consonni in the group.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It will be hard to beat SDW.

 

[Didinho]

The strongest riders are in front. Longo Borghini should just stay in the wheel.

Lidl Trek gonna chase. Or it’s over.
Kool and Balsamo in G2.

What happened to Chabbey?
