Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 2023 February 26, 196 km (1.Pro)

2016, 2017, 2019 were all excellent.

Not really. It's always a very static situation in the long run in. Plus, I'm definitely no fan of long solos.

 

[tobydawq]

Ok.

Just because Sagan got dropped you dont have to be so grumpy.

It's not really grumpiness but with a group with such excellent rouleurs as Wellens and Mohoric and two guys from Jumbo and a peloton that was cut in half due to crashes, leaving very few domestiques, I never thought there was a chance they would be brought back.

 

[Netserk]

Probably no attacks before 2-3 km to go.

Cool, should have turned the race off.

Trek setting up to lose the race for 6th...

 

[Salvarani]

Hope Taco wins.

 

[Netserk]

Excellent finale! Van Hooydonck was mighty strong.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Two wins, a second and a third. Might be the most dominant opening weekend ever. And then it's with four different riders and Van Aert missing to boot.

 

[Netserk]

Greedy Jumbo.

 

[tobydawq]

Cool, should have turned the race off.

At least we got a good final five kilometers.

 

[DNP-Old]

I am not angry, I am livid.

 

[RedheadDane]

How the frick was GCN that far behind?

 

[tobydawq]

Greedy Jumbo.

Very selfish move by Van Aert to be absent here, making his teammates look selfish.

What do you mean?

JV-Pack

 

[Salvarani]

Very selfish move by Van Aert to be absent here, making his teammates look selfish.

Van Aert will show up to SB and be like "Alright guys, play time is over. Now it is my turn".

 

[Eeslliw]

Maybe @Ilmaestro99 is right? Jumbo is even tactically on spot without Wout .

 

[Volderke]

They really need to get their act together if they want to beat Jumbo, it seems.

 

[RedheadDane]

What do you mean?

It said quite a bit (+20ish) Ks left for me when I saw the posts that it had finished.
Yes, I was obviously also watching other races, but I refreshed frequently.

Bloody streaming services, getting behind if you don't have that particular race "on".

 

[Samamba]

Boooring.

After Sky and QS, Jumbo is now my least favorite team. Congrats, you're simply too good.

Rather than refreshing, you should click "Live".

Benoot's first win in Belgium.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would be hilarious if JV actually proceed to win no classics with Van Aert starting after that post. In any case, they can hardly improve over this weekend.

 

[samhocking]

At least without Wout there they didn't get a top 4! Impressive, Dennis wasn't wrong that Jumbo have something new and why he went there.

 

[Salvarani]

Probably a well-deserved win for Benoot. Classy rider and always very good.

Only 5th win of his career.

It is hard to win bike races.
