Lesser Known Race Results 2020

Wellens is gapped big time, he's not catching up.

Re: Re:

Doesnt look like Wellens is in great shape tho. He did wat he needed to to, he tried, but just isnt good enough right now.
Stupid move by Campenaerts.

Hot and dry weather Wellens

Still incredibly impressive tho

Meeeh has nothing to do with it. Wellens has been kinda mediocre all year. He just doesnt have the legs. I like that he tried tho. What he did was the only way he couldve possible won the GC.

 

[Bushman]

Damn that was stupid by Campenaerts. Not gonna make a difference or the outcome but I’m quite perplexed

 

[tobydawq]

The commentator really paints some pictures. I don't remember who it was he said was riding like a cheetah on the Serengeti.

But now he just said that Wellens' initial acceleration had more venom than a snake from Arizona xD

 

[spalco]

Look at the gaps Remco is leaving behind him after every corner...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Evenepoel can't sprint, but i think he's doing what he did in Lunigiana. Kill them in his wheel, so they can't even sprint anymore. He'll try and take the stage.

Re:

Campenaerts much stronger than expected though.

Yeah sure, way stronger, but what a dumb move.

 

[RedheadDane]

Wellens took a wrong turn.

 

[spalco]

Alright, no stage win for Evenepoel, but strongest man of the day yet again.

 

[RedheadDane]

Campenaerts wins.
Kron second.
Evenepoel third.

 

[tobydawq]

He could have let up a little bit in the final kilometre to give himself at least a chance for the sprint...

But what a machine.

Re: Re:

I'm sure he assumed that Wellens would be able to follow in Evenepoel's wheel.

 

[Bushman]

There is something about Evenepoel that just doesnt make sense

Yeah, well, not that it matters now cause Victor won the stage.
Wellens just wasn't good enough, a recurring thing this year.

 

[RedheadDane]

And meanwhile, over in Hungary, Neilands just casually has all the jerseys (there isn't a best young rider jersey).
Evenepoel has both jerseys available in Belgium (no KoM of BYR, but of course he'd have the BYR if there was one… )

Re: Re:

LTS/Wellens made a huuuuge mistake yesterday. Wellens shouldve closed that last 10meters when Philipsen tried to bridge to Evenepoel and Campenaerts instead of playing the Campenaerts card.

I guess it was a "mistake" they made before the race ...apparently they wanted to keep Campenaerts happy and make him an (equal) GC leader along with Wellens.

Not sure it was a huge mistake, though. Wellens should be able to deal with Evenepoel and QS, IMO. Would be almost embarrassing if he didn't win today's stage by a minute or more in this field. Wellens obviously has the form

I guess you didn't watch the Hammer race where he and Van Avermaet were absolutely trashed by Evenepoel.

In the eighties they raced longer ITTs than that Hammer race Evenepoel dominated. Today's stage has decent length and has far harder climbs that suit an "explosive" rider such as Wellens far better . Apples / oranges.

You have to be ****ing kidding me if you think Evenepoel will own Wellens here. Not. Gonna. Happen.

It. Happened.

Watch Remco now https://ok.ru/live/1933777903313

 

[RedheadDane]

Am I the only one finding it a bit difficult to differentiate between the blue leader's jersey, and the blue DQ jerseys in Tour of Belgium?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Jakobsen can't follow the peloton on a flat stage??

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Idiots

 

[RedheadDane]

That was a nasty crash. Hope everyone is relatively okay.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... does anyone have a profile for the race up that little hill in Southern France tomorrow?

Here's a startlist at any rate.

I watched yesterday and hadn't even realised the leader's jersey was blue

 

[tobydawq]

I find it enjoyable that EF have seen fit to pick Moreno Hofland for tomorrow's Mont Ventoux race. I don't think he will win.
