Gent-Wevelgem (men’s) 2024 (Sunday, March 24)

[Netserk]

Also looking good for Kooij.

 

[Volderke]

If SQS and Bora keep their cool and keep it together, it will be a loooooong finale for those 3 vs. the sprinter's group.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Sam Bennett in the Girmay group.

All set up beautifully for him to literally empty himself on the final Kemmelberg again.

 

[Faserr]

MvdP, Pithie and partly Pedersen are riding a long time at the front. I still think the bunch can come back.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Spectator doing his damnedest to make sure De Gendt's shoulder stays dislodged there.

 

[kn0s]

Pedersen has fallen in to a trap. MvdP doesn't care if he wins.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good job lads guys holding his shoulder on the side of the road and you try and hoist him up without consent

 

[repre]

Sheffield looking great on the Kemmel.

Will finish 19th probably

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is what Trek will try to do to Mathieu in Flanders. His team is lacklustre. In this particular race though, I would have preferred them to stay together in that group. Them riding so hard on eachother I think killed their chances.

Jumbo will also have their say though, they are not really participating in this one.

 

[AmRacer]

Here comes Trentin

 

[Salvarani]

They are dead.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Will finish 19th probably

Not counting NCs, would be his second-highest one-day placing since his Brabantse Pijl win. Can't believe he didn't get mentioned in the overrated riders topic, thinking about it.

 

[Volderke]

All set up beautifully for him to literally empty himself on the final Kemmelberg again.

They have Jordi Meeus.

 

[AmRacer]

Ineos should send up one more to pull the peloton.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

They have Jordi Meeus.

Did he transfer to Decathlon too?

 

[RedheadDane]

They have Jordi Meeus.

Ag2R doesn't.

 

[AmRacer]

Piti doesn't pull

 

[Netserk]

If it's a sprint, I hope Bling will take it.

Still nearly 10 to the last Kemmelberg.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ineos on the front for who? Viviani? are you ****ing kidding me, Olav Kooij, Matthews, Merlier, Phillipsen are in the bunch

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is just GW being a far, far easier race than RvV

Didn't stop Jumbo from destroying everyone last year. Yes, you can't perfectly replicate this in Ronde, but his/Alpecin's vulnerability have definitely been exposed today. If Jumbo pounce on it too, it spells trouble.

 

[Volderke]

Did he transfer to Decathlon too?

I'm still living in 2023 Bora-Bennett!

 

[Squire]

Ineos on the front for who? Viviani? are you ****ing kidding me, Olav Kooij, Matthews, Merlier, Phillipsen are in the bunch

For Turner and Sheffield to try something on the Kemmel.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is just GW being a far, far easier race than RvV

Its not JUST that, Lidl are looking super good so far and will try to do something similar next Sunday of course. But chances are just worse that it will be successfull next Sunday, but you know that I know that

 

[Sciatic]

Never understand why DS’s think having one guy pull the chasing group for several kms willl catch a small group of powerful riders up the road. Especially now on this new era of hyper stellar individuals?

Probably the aim wasnt to catch them. Just keep the gap as it was. Dont lose anymore before the last hills.
