La Flèche Wallonne 2023, one day classic, April 19 (men's)

[Samamba]

Actually impressive ride from SK Andersen

 

[Didinho]

Kragh Andersen impressive!

 

[SafeBet]

Both Powless and Kron likely out of it with the crash. Lafay also slowed down.

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah that's not how you will keep the peloton behind

Think Lafay can come back but will have costed energy (or he needs to do a Demare).
Powless and Kron are done I fear.

EDIT: just when I say it a group comes back with I think Kron and Lafay?

 

[ppanther92]

Good gap actually.

Kron and Jesus Herrada, so Lafay probably was back before already

 

[Andre]

just tuned in....who would be the favourite to win this race now?

Hirschi

 

[ciranda]

Has to be Skjelmose.

Good gap actually.

Not enough. Leadout and fight for position will automatically reduce the gap.

 

[Berniece]

And you can easily close 15-20s on De Muur if the front group is at its limit

last one who came pretty far from the break (finished 8th) must have been Schachmann. But can't remember his gap before the Mur

I remember they always said "you need 30sec to maybe stay in front".

lol, you can close a lot more than that too. I think you'd need close to a full minute to survive.

 

[Didinho]

What happened with Higuita?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Higuita is severely overrated in these kinds of races.

 

[red_flanders]

OK, anything happen yet?

 

[Didinho]

First time I heard Ciccone's name. Dark horse maybe.

 

[topcat]

Just tuned in to see if cycling dies today.

 

[Red Rick]

So every minor threat to Pog is gone before the final Muur?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

OK, anything happen yet?

Some DNF and Vervaeke has 15s on the peloton.

 

[Didinho]

Kragh Andersen what a beast.

 

[DNP-Old]

Two kilometers to go, perfect moment to tune in to this borefest.

 

[Scarponi]

Two kilometers to go, perfect moment to tune in to this borefest.

1km too early
