Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne 2024, February 25, one-day classic

[skippo12]

Super impressive from WVA but it reminds me of stage six of the Tour in 2022. WVA going all out in the breakaway for no reason.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

17s for Pithie

 

[Volderke]

Lazkano is either feeling like this is a very good situation, either he is regretting he is following Wellens and WvA. He seemed like totally on the edge and almost vomiting.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Cracking form but not sure about this one with 70k to go, think he just wants to test the legs today

 

[Didinho]

140km and 100km finals already.
Mathieu likes this.

I’m just waiting for a wild Hagenes to appear in the final km.

 

[Netserk]

Only Campenaerts and Teuns pulling behind?

 

[Samamba]

Is there even a peloton anymore behind? How did they not catch G4 yet

This race is sadly over till the last 5km.

 

[AmRacer]

W or W wins.

I don't think Wout is disappointed with this performance, either.

 

[DNP-Old]

Renaat is so useless. Instead of waiting on the -potential- peloton, finding out how far behind they are and looking if there is some sort of chase going on, he sticks to giving us information that is literally on our screens.

 

[Samamba]

Peloton 4 minutes behind according to Sporza lmao

EDIT: 3 minutes apparenlty.

Surely there is no way Van Aert f**ks this up from here? With Pithie gone, he should smoke the other two in a sprint, and the rest seems out of it already.

Wellens is pithie good

I think Lazkano will be the first to stop pulling, but it will be on the last lap. If any of them are to get away, I think Van Aert is most likely to make an attack stick.

After yesterday's sprint, I can't imagine he is overly concerned with his chances...however, that is a lot of miles in 2 days, and they are a bit far out to call a group bridging across, over.

Wout van Aert has looked fairly strong this weekend, stars seem to be aligning for a hattrick of podiums in the monuments

Depends, i hope he isn't riding with the same brakes as he was during the ECC RR, because you never know when those brakes decide to slam shut in the middle of a sprint!

In all seriousness though, he managed to nearly lose a 1v1 sprint against Alaphilippe in San Remo, he lost a sprint of 3 vs Pidcock in Brabantse Pijl, he beat Pidcock by an inch in Amstel. He lost a sprint vs Pogacar in Canada, and he even got beaten by fcking Gaudu once in Dauphiné, when he cheered too soon. Some of those were uphill sprints, but still, this isn't a done deal even though he is the overwhelming favorite.

Then he'll need to ride another one.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Netserk]

G3 about to be caught by the peloton. Tudor and Alpecin leading the chase.

An even larger group is behind them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Huge peloton, lots of sprinters behind like every year

Think they have enough up front but it's still in the balance

 

[Samamba]

Philipsen might still get 5th

Usually the peloton can take 1 minute per 10km but different in this sort of race.

 

[Izzyeviel]

I'm starting to think dropping Wout from my fantasy cycling team was a bad idea.
