Agreed with your post but Vermeersch really did not instantly react. He just did a pull at the front. Smart from Hagenes to wait for that knowing those other 2 were looking at Vermeersch.

3 more mentions of him, and he will simply be H
Yeah Vermersch looked around and then Hagenes just attacked in the exact moment, he was looking away again. Wise move, but also the strength to pull it off.
Hagen actually is a town in Germany. Hence why auto correction and me kept messing Hagenes name up correcting each other!
Nokere Koerse will be finished in few minutes…
Euskaltel wanted to ride here, and even were invited. Funny…
Probably Euskaltel‘s riders love or will learn to love Nokere Koerse… smile
Euskaltel also rode the smaller Belgian races last weekend. They're obviously not going to win, but a top 20 is not impossible, and that is also worth some UCI points.
But there is still over an hour left of the race.
Are you sure about that? Says 60+ Ks for me...
Meanwhile, I made it home just in time to see a small win in Italy.
Arvid de Kleijn joins Roglic, Contador, Pinot, Di Luca, a.o. as a Milano - Torino winner.
Ah, right, I had Torino in mind. 60k to go in Nokere.
Tudor‘s Arvid de Kleijn wins Milano-Torino. Huge, huge surprise, considering the strong line-up. But de Kleijn is strong, won nice races in the past. Nevertheless, no excuse for Gaviria not to win this…
Milano-Torino: Cancellara happy
(thanks RedHeadDane for the thread advice!)

It's actually the first time that de Kleijn has won a race of this calibre without getting lucky with a crash or disqualification.
Gaviria needs to demand Movistar gets him a leadout rider for 2024 - It's cost him a win or two in 2023.
He went left and then right. Come on, that is beyond ridiculous. If you're not at least relegating for that then why have rules at all?
Just be honest and state that the commissaries can punish everyone involved in a crash on a subjective basis or because of their history, nationality, or because one of the stars of the sport complains.

If you relegate De Kleijn you should relegate Van Uden too, his deviation is the reason for De Kleijns first snappy movement. But De Kleijn also moves to the left and then again to the right after that so year definitely borderline.
Was there there ever an explanation provided for why they changed the parcours to this flatter, sprinter-friendly version?
