Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne 2026

[Samu Cuenca]

Brennan beat Trentin? Well done, he's 48.

 

[Brullnux]

Guess Tudor are going for points this season then

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Visma masterclass

but the rules say...

it really depends if they include the cycling path, and it wouldn’t surprise me they made it part of the race course in this tricky turn.

Guess Tudor are going for points this season then

How exactly do you propose they could have won a sprint in this field?

I thought 49

 

[Netserk]

spoiler

how hard can it be to shut the *** up about other races

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Normally I would say that Trentin should have launched Mozzato. But Mozzato was on the perfect wheel, Brennan was just too strong. Shame for Philipsen, he looked so strong on the climbs

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tudor signing big names on Cristiano Ronaldo contracts and it turns out Trentin who they found in the bin in an alley behind the takeaway is their best rider.

 

[jsem94]

Jesus, that was a statement.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I thought 49

In cycling, 49 is the new 70

Where is the control trailer? In Brussels?

 

[yaco]

Pity about Magnier's puncture as I have him and Brennan about equal in sprint speed.

 

[Heston]

What was Philipsen actually doing in that sprint? Seemed like he was in 20th position and made no effort to move forward

Very much stuck in the curve so a lost position without any chance to move up in the last straight.

Brennan looks more like an American crit racer than an American crit racer
Visma looks to have sprinting part down.. We will see about climbing.

Throwing in multiple 'streets won't forget' attacks with like 120k to go like Floyd Landis.

Maybe he don't have the flat speed at the moment so thought he had to do something, wasn't looking good in Algarve to be honest, oh well I enjoyed it.

 

[jono]

Very much stuck in the curve so a lost position without any chance to move up in the last straight.

He chose to follow Meeus and the Red Bull train, which ended up being a disastrous selection.

 

[pastronef]

BEAUTIFUL win for Brennan! yesssssssss

 

[Salvarani]

Perfect lead-out from Laporte in the end.

Brennan could just power away.

Impressive display by Visma in this race. They have now won 3 out of the last 4 editions. 2nd in the one they didnt win, which was last year.

 

[Gratemans]

Nice to see Laporte back in good health. Apparently he's still got it.

 

[proffate]

luke lamperti with two consecutive top 10s in grimy spring classics. Toughest Californian ever

 

[Red Rick]

Perfect work by Visma. Not many sprinters would have lost with that leadout, but Brennan shows how good he is by winning by a country mile.

Flags indicating a huge tailwind, so probably easier to just gap the guy in your wheel

 

[Brullnux]

How exactly do you propose they could have won a sprint in this field?

It was more a comment on them eschewing any lead-out and going every man for himself, which is a tell tale sign of a team accepting two placements over one top five/top three, like Astana last year in the classics.

Obviously today they ended up getting 2nd and 3rd, but in general the no lead out tactic is a sign of points over podiums etc. Not a bad idea for Tudor anyway.

This race is not hilly and whatever happen to Lidl-Trek? Milan was virtually absent and their devo rider was their sole survivor in the lead group.

This race is not hilly and whatever happen to Lidl-Trek? Milan was virtually absent and their devo rider was their sole survivor in the lead group.

Their riders are weak and not so talented. The best one is Álvarez, which for me is the next big líder in Lidl in this races.

They have a problem, without Mads they are lost. Of course Vacek and Soderqvist are good riders but they dont have the level.
