Lesser known races 2024 edition

[Squire]

They are not catching this break if the gap is correct. They are not making up any ground.

It has been coming down at the Liggett patented rate of a minute per 10km though. If the peloton has enough helpers left after Haussire, the might make good inroads on the false flat and decent before the final climb.

 

[Samamba]

Now it corrected itself to 2:15 though still kms are going down pretty fast.

Yeah gap was wrong, but it still a big gap. Depends on the cooperation in peloton I think.

 

[postmanhat]

Bloke in the helicopter must have a side hustle with the Walloon forestry commision.

 

[Netserk]

How has the Van Rysel Gang not yet shredded this race apart? A good pace now, but not exactly blistering.

 

[Samamba]

Gap is 2'05

All depends on next 10kms were it will still be going slightly uphill.

I wonder if Cosnefroy is not in absolute super shape.

I wonder if Cosnefroy is not in absolute super shape.

I wonder if Cosnefroy has ever been good on such a long climb.

 

[Netserk]

Van Dijke one of the favourites for the overall now. Wouldn't have thought that with this profile.

Isn't Hagenes the Visma guy?

 

[Samamba]

They are not catching those 2

 

[Netserk]

Isn't Hagenes the Visma guy?

Ah, that makes much more sense. I hadn't noticed the second Visma rider when Van Dijke attacked previously.

Why not? Mick can climb pretty well.

But I'm not sure if it is even him

 

[Squire]

I think Van Dijke was dropped some time ago. Commentators misidentified the remaining one as Van Dijke, but I'm pretty sure it's Hagenes.

You could see Van Dijke's number (84) when he attacked.

 

[Squire]

Yes, I know he attacked, but then he was dropped when AG2R started pacing the Haussire, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Netserk]

Got it, misunderstood your point then.

EDIT: And yeah, it's #83 in the peloton now.

 

[postmanhat]

Is Strong still there? I'm assuming not due to Clarke attacking.

He just returned

Jimmy Janssens is still virtually leader right now. Very impressive ride from those 2, but also weak from the favorites honestly on this parcours.

I had the impression that in so far the brothers differ, Tim is the better climber. And it's some nasty climbs today.

 

[Squire]

If the gap is correct, I'm starting to lean towards a Hoelgaard stage win.

By far the best climbing performance from on of the brothers I've seen, and it was pretty impressive as this race was made really hard.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm starting to wonder if the peloton has forgotten there are two guys up ahead...

Yes. Would quite like Clarke to take the GC now, just for being aggressive.

 

[Samamba]

Israel has 3 guys in the grou of 8

 

[Squire]

Cosnefroy not great.
