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

[vladimir]

According to his fan club Alex Kristoff will not start today; suffering with a cold.

I do like me some bagpipes ♥

 

[Valv.Piti]

No idea how, but cycling needs to be more adaptive and flexible with its tv schedule. This weather will cause a murder scene, yet we'll see none of it. On the other hand, we'll be seeing every centimeter of De Ronde, even if it's a satisfying breeze at a sunny 16 degrees celsius.

And obviously, we would still watch every centimeter of Flanders (and Roubaix for that matter). Well, at least I would, both those are also the only two races. Im fine with watching the last 100 km of races like GW, Strade, Omloop and E-3.

 

[Wvv]

Girmay is granted a good result after Friday's promising performance.

 

[Samamba]

Almost in the Moeren.

Crashes are starting. Tratnik involved and DNF.

 

[KZD]

Hope Van der Poel doesn't have to babysit Philipsen today.

Curious to see how Kooij fares.

 

[Netserk]

We also missed most of the echelons in 2015, yet there was still plenty of racing left to watch.

 

[DNP-Old]

Echelons.

Girmay is granted a good result after Friday's promising performance.

If I remember correctly he was the one to lose the wheel and send off the jumbo guys last year. Not a fan.

 

[DNP-Old]

Seen Merlier, Kooij, Milan, Meeus and Gaviria. Ben Turner is the sole INEOS.

 

[DNP-Old]

Can't say for certain because Trentin is blocking the screen, but I do think Philipsen is there.

 

[Offline]

Seen Merlier, Kooij, Milan, Meeus and Gaviria. Ben Turner is the sole INEOS.

+ Molano, MVP and Pedersen

 

[dobrien]

A long 10 minutes until my coverage starts here in the US! ;-)

 

[Brullnux]

Is it really a minute between the two echelon groups already?

One of these kids is doing his own thing

One of these kids is doing his own thing

One of these "kids" is definitely not a kid.

 

[DenisMenchov]

I don't understand how Bahrain always manages to miss the splits

 

[postmanhat]

De Lie, Matthews, Mohoric, Girmay have all missed the splt according to PCS

 

[jono]

So is it race over for anyone not in the front echelon?

Edit: They've updated the time gap. Gap to most of the other contenders is 1 minute, not 2 and a half.

 

[postmanhat]

Looks that way, unless De Lie does his most spectacular bridging ride yet..

Don't there's any Lotto riders in the front group?

 

[Savant12]

Peleton are still riding hard.
