At minimum, they would probably like them to use all their doms first. Ballerini hasn't pulled yet.Do all those teams really think Lotto and QS are going to bring them back lol.

I see at least 3 TSF riders in the group, and none have sniffed the wind.Do all those teams really think Lotto and QS are going to bring them back lol.

Sure. And QS choose to end 6th instead of 1st by saving Ballerini. No one is obliged to pull.They you simply don't have a chance. Cofidis literally chooses to end 10th instead of 5th here. Trek the same.

It would make other teams more likely to pull as well.Using Ballerini here wouldn't change anything tho. 3 extra teams putting one guy on the front like 10kms ago might've given them a shot.

How often do Belgian houses catch fire when the race is about to pass? Happened in Gent-Wevelgem 2021 too, incidentally the last time Van Hooydonck was in the winning group in a classic.
What? Focusing on Hageland until they finish.
Are you saying Van Hooydonck has some firestarter powers?
can't tell me that this is not the most boring "opening weekend"
2021 was clearly worse.can't tell me that this is not the most boring "opening weekend"
They have this unless they start playing games with each other in the final.
2016, 2017, 2019 were all excellent.Isn't Kuurne always a bit meh?
I think that has been evident since the climb where Sagan was dropped.
