Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne 2026

[search]

Wellens is a good rider, but UAE riches are such they can just replace him like that.

take another look at the past two editions, and you'll see that they can't.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Baarle and Mohoric leading proceedings in a real classic, turn that clock back, baby!

 

[Tim Cahill]

No, they can't. It's not like Wellens is a random rider.

Narvaez and Wellens are their 2 best guys by a distance, might just be another Poggio attack unfortunately, can't really put enough fatigue into VDP with a probably out of position Del Toro.

Sure they can.

Politt will do the job.

Politt will do the job.

That's a square peg in a round hole if ever I saw one. Politt has many talents, but a massive 30-second acceleration isn't one of them.

These are just awful news for an exciting MSR. One of few races that Pogacar makes more exciting. This is big blow IMO if UAE can't be strong enough to smash Cipressa.

brennan and two teammates in the group

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Speaking of sprinters who used to climb way better, Girmay really should never be getting dropped on a hill like Kluisberg.

 

[Netserk]

abra
trentin
van baarle
politt

12 in total

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carlos Canal about to link up with Adria from the early break.

Just as planned.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Philipsen currently wishing he hadn't wasted all his energy on Saint-Laurent and Oude Kruisberg like a junior. Lot of people who always want to pull up front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Trentin evergreen still knocking about in the front group aged 47

Decathlon have *** it after looking too good too early

 

[KoopaCycling]

It's not near as bad a news as people want to make it sound like. UAE has options.
Del Toro will win SR by the way. Not Pogacar.

 

[Netserk]

abra will make a hard attack in the finale , he can win today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Abrahamsen, Politt, Van Baarle are the last people you want having 30 seconds, but currently the ticker is wrong and it's more like 15.

 

[Netserk]

ag2r and alpecin have 8 riders at the front of the chase group

edit : down to ag2r now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not very many sprinters left by the looks, it could split again if/when it comes back together.

Cool to see a sprinter do his own dirty work and these are coming back

 

[Tim Cahill]

Reduced sprint as expected, with chances of a late flyer against tired domestiques, Van Dijke nuked the group for Meeus.

 

[Netserk]

back together

laporte should be fresh and ready

 

[topcat]

KBK more interesting than Omloop. Nearly worthy of sticky status.

 

[Netserk]

wind is good for the attackers to try before the circuit

 

[jono]

KBK more interesting than Omloop. Nearly worthy of sticky status.

Yes, the next 50k of procession before a field sprint is going to be thrilling.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great racing, don't know what half these guys are trying to do but it's nice to see
