Gent - Wevelgem: March 28th, 2021

[Volderke]

+ there is some headwind now.
Riders really don't know how far the finish is.

All of them have 180+ K in the attack. It will be a strange sprint.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Either Matthews is playing possum or he's just cooked.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Either Matthews is playing possum or he's just cooked.

Giving some very extravagant “I’m cramping” signals

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like they're back on the original route, but the KM markings might be a bit off.

 

[titan31]

Kung not going to attack at all? Leaving it late

 

[Volderke]

Van Hooydonck to lead out from very far!

 

[Velolover2]

I think WVA got this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was an anticlimactic attack.

 

[titan31]

That was a crap attack

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was also an anticlimactic sprint. Great race though.

 

[Gigs_98]

That was a f*cking monster sprint by Van Aert.

 

[red_flanders]

Nice win Wout!

 

[Red Rick]

Lot of talk for how amazing the race was when it was one moment of echelons very little after that.

 

[Andy262]

Wout! Nizzolo got too far back.

 

[RedheadDane]

Van Aert, easily.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Nizzolo got a bit boxed in, but Wout was super strong.

 

[IndianCyclist]

difference of just 1 teammate in the finale to WVA, wining vs losing

 

[Carols]

Wout!!!!! Good teamwork by TJV. No Rabofail today

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Nizzolo could have gotten closer, if he hadn't been at the back. But van Aert was the strongest with the help from Van Hooydonck.

 

[roundabout]

That finale made me wish that Bennett had a bigger engine for these races.

 

[sir fly]

No surprise there.
Congrats.

Tough race.

 

[Gigs_98]

Lot of talk for how amazing the race was when it was one moment of echelons very little after that.

I think with 50 km to go people already made up their mind about the race being good because it seemed very unlikely the rest would stink as much as it eventually did. So yeah, I kinda agree, the finale really didn't deliver.

 

[kingjr]

See how easy it is for him if you give him just one proper teammate.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Bennett finally dying and Van Hooydonck sticking around meant too many second or third tier tier sprinters wrongly fancied their their chances against Van Aert in a sprint more than their chances of pulling off an attack.

Great race. Great winner.
