Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 2025, March 2 (1.Pro)

[Samamba]

Well as expected, a bunch sprint it is. Don't really mind it. Kuurne is still a sprint classic. Omloop is the race that ruined it this weekend.

Annoying that just this weekend the weather is great after months of bad weather in Belgium

Philipsen is climbing REALLY well, best I've seen him

 

[RedheadDane]

Philipsen is climbing REALLY well, best I've seen him

Maybe his teammates sung a little song for him this morning, and that motivated him!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Much better racing than yesterday.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert last in the peloton before the small road leading to Trieu.

 

[tobydawq]

Pluimers continues to impress.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wout once again thinking that riding at the back is a good idea...

 

[Brullnux]

Is Merlier still there? You'd think so given it's a big group but haven't seen him

 

[tobydawq]

Van Aert last in the peloton before the small road leading to Trieu.

What is he doing?

 

[Netserk]

What is he doing?

The descent down to Ronse on a big road maybe reminded him of Kanarieberg last year?

 

[Brullnux]

Peloton basically sits up with Wellens at one minute

 

[Peyroteo94]

Wout once again thinking that riding at the back is a good idea...

I think he developed PTSD and he is always fearing a crash

 

[Netserk]

I thought Abra's move was too late, but it's a proper split this time.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

I thought Abra's move was too late, but it's a proper split this time.

I think i saw Wärenskjold on the tail of the second peloton just now, so it seems a bit strange that Abrahamsen forced this split.

 

[Samamba]

No one wil work in that group. Again too big.

Quick Step bringing it back

 

[Netserk]

Philipsen and Milan both in the chase group. Van Aert working for with Kooij in the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert attacks. RedBull giving up on Meeus?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wout showing some spirit. Nice.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Finally Wout!

 

[Salvarani]

Another interval for Van Aert.

 

[Brullnux]

Van Aert looks a lot better today than he did yesterday, even if he's yo-yoing a lot

 

[Samamba]

Visma and Red Bull won't change now.

Alpecin, Trek and QS will have to do it. Probably still enough but at least it makes it interesting

 

[AmRacer]

Wout with a Pogi attack

 

[Brullnux]

Visma and Red Bull won't change now.

Alpecin, Trek and QS will have to do it. Probably still enough but at least it makes it interesting

And Lidl, who have a handful of guys here.

Edit: didn't see the edit

 

[Netserk]

Huge peloton.
