Gent - Wevelgem: October 11th, 2020

[richwallone]

WVA was averaging 700W on Kemmelberg Not bad...

 

[Keram]

Two really strong groups chasing each other. I love this.

 

[richwallone]

If you don’t know, there is a Pedersen riding for the win in the front group, in both one day races.... I’m stressing changing channels

He might join in on the fun, he is in great form but this one is between WVA and MVDP to decide the winner today...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van der Poel/Van Aerts route to victory is keeping the gap steady and then bridging a 25 second gap on the Kemmelberg, that will be tricky.

That's the plan. Given how strong they are, it shouldn't be a problem for them.

 

[WKA311]

Vermeersch is really impressive

I think they will do it but they need to hold this gap.

You'd imagine whoever is strongest in the front group will attack on the Kemmelberg too. They won't all ride as a group up it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I think they will do it but they need to hold this gap.

Gap is coming down now, they should be fine now. Will be a tactical finale though.

 

[titan31]

Pretty much bridged now.

 

[richwallone]

They almost got them... They'll get together before Kemmelberg...

 

[Eclipse]

Pretty epic edition, really been smashed to bits for an age and the race dynamics have been great.

Set for a great finale.

Sep for the love of god stop doing so much work in every break you get into

 

[richwallone]

Here we go... Kemmelberg!!!

 

[Pantani_lives]

If you're still looking for RvV favourites...

 

[titan31]

Van aert and VDP have gone crazy

 

[Bonimenier]

Sep for the love of god stop doing so much work in every break you get into

In this case it's quite logical. Trying to spare Bettiol as long as possible.

 

[Eclipse]

wva and mvdp lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The Deceuninck riders all looking weak on this climb.

 

[Keram]

MVDP and WVA were on different gradients than others

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Stuyven's mechanical has really hurt Trek.

 

[Pantani_lives]

The part immediately after the Kemmel is always tactically important.

 

[richwallone]

Why's Kung wasting energy a couple seconds ahead of the break??? Still 30+km to go...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The Deceuninck riders all looking weak on this climb.

yeah, they worked hard to bring WVA and MVDP back and then promptly got into trouble themselves

 

[richwallone]

Vermeersch changing bike... MVDP has to do it by himself again... No teammates
