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

I guess, but you're still weird.

I've never even claimed to have done that, which I have actually never done, because I usually want to watch races live or not at all, but unlike you, I don't think a right way to watch races exists.

 

[RedheadDane]

Anyway, I was sure I had Van Hooydonck on my team for the Spring Classics CQ game, but I guess he's just too short.

"You" didn't necessarily mean "you", as in "weird pun-making, women's prediction-game running, you".

"You" didn't necessarily mean "you", as in "weird pun-making, women's prediction-game running, you".

When I write "you" on this forum, it's most often than not directed at you specifically.

Also come to think of it, if there is a right way to watch a race, it's probably on site, which you obviously can't do, unless there's a huge rock nearby.

What happened to Sagan? Did he puncture just before the finish?

Also come to think of it, if there is a right way to watch a race, it's probably on site, which you obviously can't do, unless there's a huge rock nearby.

And sadly, if you watch on site, you're likely to miss a lot of the action, unless you happen to be by the finish area, with proper screens.
So, obviously the perfect way would be to split yourself into a million clones, so you can be everywhere along the route!

Not possible.

 

[RedheadDane]

Not possible.

Unfortunately, you might be right. Which is a shame, because just imagine: A million mes!









Actually... that's a pretty scary thought.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Not possible.

When she writes a million, she could be thinking of a different number though.

 

[RedheadDane]

When she writes a million, she could be thinking of a different number though.

A BILLION!

She must love Brian Holm. Whenever he says a certain number, it's always pulled right out from his anus. It's never the right number but at least he presents is as if it is.

A BILLION!

If a billion clones of you stood on top of each other, you would no longer need the rock.

I think we established over in the "Lesser Known Races" thread - before I knew Camino was gonna get it's own thread - that I am good with numbers!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Another edition with neither scenario.

Good.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Have they checked whether Jumbo-Visma really only started with seven riders today and yesterday? Because those yellow men seemed to be everywhere.

 

[Samamba]

Imo they are way worse than both.

Yeah I agree. QS was strongest as a team, but didn't always have the 5 strongest riders of the race. Jumbo is just ridiculous, it's stupid. Plus they're everywhere. Mountains and classics. Boring af

I don't remember many moments with the Steppers of the type 'Van Hooydonck casually lifting the pace on the flat without getting off his saddle and putting an engine like Mohoric in fumes'

What would be prime Quick Step equivalent of Van Hooydonck in their classics hiararchy? GVK?

Stijn Vandenbergh?

Senechal in 2018. Or Lampaert.

1. Terpstra
2. Gilbert
3. Stybar
4. Lampaert
5. Sénéchal
6. Keisse
7. Cavagna
8. Declerq
9. Jungels
10. Narvaez
11. Asgreen

Alaphilippe on the roster as well.

 

[jmdirt]

Benoot!

Bare legs can still win over aero leg covers!

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Imo they are way worse than both.

And then there is the return of Van Aert to come. Hopefully he'll turn a string of wins into a string of second places.

Someone stole Mohoric's Garmin

Nothing really. He just didn´t bother to sprint.

 

[tobydawq]

Nothing really. He just didn´t bother to sprint.

Very weird, but yeah, it certainly looked like that was the case. Normally, he sprints for a 30th place in the classics.

Just look at Strava and if someone has a big spike in watts over the night, then that is your guy .
