Vanendert: "Gilbert will have to anticipate."
Gilbert: "I don't think so."

There's already been an early crash at Fleche on the wet roads. Lots of riders going down and looks like @UranRigoberto was caught up

INCREDIBLE!

according to the official ticker he did hit the deck

You forgot that he brought Nordhaug back to the front at least once in AGR, as was seen on television. So it was Henao and Nordhaug (which were protected) and Löfkvist who was doing domestique-work, in the finale.

But I agree that he did not show anything in AGR which would automatically earn him the privilege of being protected in F-W, but we don't know how he performs on training.

I think the DS will give him a shot if they think he is good enough and it doesn't interfere with Uran's chances. We will see, but we can't really know beforehand.

If all four get to the Mur de Huy in good health I'd imagine Lofkvist would be option 4. However, Uran went backwards up the Mur last year, Nordhaug had a heavy fall at the weekend, Henao despite being protected at AGR had nothing left at the end, and Lofkivst has a 6th place from a couple of years ago.

Maybe Lofkvist will have the same role he had last year. Attacking and following attacks in the final 20k.

another crash with Jurgen Van de Walle abandoning.

"In 2011 verraste Philippe Gilbert iedereen door zeer vroeg aan te zetten. Nu moeten we bij de les zijn en voorkomen dat zo'n scenario zich herhaalt."

Lol at Rodriguez. This guy just can't admit Phil was better than him last year huh.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

lol. you and your calimero responds. who the f*** cares

 

[El Pistolero]

lol. you and your calimero responds. who the f*** cares

Says the guy who's still waiting for a good Colombian result, but claims they're super humans.

I think that fits the bill of Calimero a lot better.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

well at least ryo's post are 90% about colombians.

Your posts are 99% about Gilbert or people who say something about Gilbert. For crying out loud concentrate on the race

The other 10% are about Rujano.

And I'm afraid you're wrong. Besides, you do realize Phil is in this race right? And I posted an interview from one of the favorites, so I'd say my post is pretty much on topic unlike Ryo's usual trolling and you defending your bromance with Ryo.

pls read your post again. you sound like a little kid that constantly needs to prove he's right. it must be tiresome

 

[El Pistolero]

thank you for proving my point again. you sound worse than a woman

And you sound like you're suffering from misogyny.

you can have the last word in this

It's not like anything has happened in the race anyway (yet). So starting interviews are basically all we've got.

On-topic: Rodriguez won't win if the wind stays at his now. If he was already afraid of the wind in AGR then he won't be in for a fun ride today.

Okay, can we move to 5'th grade now?

Seems like some of you guys just need to hug one another.

Meanwhile, what is happening in Fleche Wallone? Is it raining. Is the racing exciting? Are the break so far ahead yet that somebody wonders if they will stay away all day?

Bellemakers and Roux have almost 5 minutes over the rest of the peloton. 116km to go.

No need to hug, I made a normal post and if someone decides to bite I'll bite back.

 

[Christian]

Kinda too bad the break is only 2 guys

 

[Hugo Koblet]

We can always hope that they'll get caught rather early so we'll see some new guys try to get away. It's not like anything is gonna happen before the Mur anyway.

 

[sTTevie]

a lot of falls in the first hour apparently ... Jurgen Van de Walle is already out

 

[maltiv]

So, where's this rain everyone was talking about?

I'd like to see a good break of 4 or 5 before then, but that's probably not going to happen.

ASO ticker reported short, intense showers earlier....tv time.
