La Flèche Wallonne 2022, one day race, April 20

[Lequack]

Cavalli the new van der Breggen

 

[gregrowlerson]

Boy, AVV did all she could there.

 

[RedheadDane]

Cavalli is quite good in the Ardennes.

(I know AGR isn't actually in the Ardennes.)

 

[MrTea1976]

That was a great final climb.

 

[KZD]

Cavalli to do the triple and win Liège?

Dutch ladies finally getting some competition.

Italian ladies don't

[Samu Cuenca]

FdJ was on the back foot, but Chapman and Muzic did a great job to bring the break back.
Kastelijn and Krista Doebel-Hickok held on to 10s

 

[Lequack]

That was a nice interview

Not only in the Ardennes, she was 5th in Paris-Roubaix despite crashing and having a puncture.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

If the interview with Evenepoel is any indication, and if he's telling the truth, we're going to get a bore/snorefest at the men's race. He claims his role is to close gaps and not let any dangerous breaks go. All in order to get Julian at the foot of the final Mur in prime condition.

I will certainly laugh my ass off if they ride defensively and see Alaphilippe get his ass kicked by Pogacar. I'd ask for a topic namechange for their team thread. ''QSAV is the new Lotto''.

Italians in women's cycling vs Italian's in men's cycling atm:

You have a shortcut to that image on your desktop, don't you?

Men's race coverage starts @ 14:30 CET

I only care about wins.

So you'll be super dissapointed if you're future children only finish 2nd and 3rd at the Bjarne Riis Herring fishing GP?

I'm never gonna have children.

Vingegaard is the fish guy. It would be the GP Bjarne Riis presented by Alpecin.

You have to not have seen FW the last five years if you don't think this would be a sensible tactic.

The Bjarne Riis Eagle ornithological GP of Herning.

It is a sensible tactic if you have no other options. If you have other options, it would be stupid to put all your eggs in one basket. It was Lefevere himself who thought Evenepoel was misused during the WCC. It has been the trademark of the team to not put all their eggs in one basket for two decades, that has made them so successful.

Unless, of course, your team leader has won this race the last 3 times he's shown up.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Unless, of course, your team leader has won this race the last 3 times he's shown up.

In which case it would still be a sensible tactic to put the one guy who is likely to beat him, under pressure.
