Lesser known races 2024 edition

[Samamba]

It's stil 20km till the Moeren, so maybe 2nd group isn't completely out of it yet, but there some teams up front that should just go full honestly. INtermarché has Thijssen, Lotto De Lie, Trek with a few. Think QS with Magnier.

 

[Samamba]

Ok 30 seconds already, probably over. First group will split again in Moeren I think.

 

[Samamba]

Politt keeps trying

 

[Didinho]

Magnier also.

 

[Netserk]

If they count 24 riders there, someone has been dropped.

 

[Netserk]

2nd group should wait for 3rd.

Cool race for me to watch, was a couple of times staying around vleteren for a training week and riding these roads. It's fun to mock the belges on here but I actually quite like to be in west flanders

 

[Samamba]

I wonder if the group becomes too small after the Moeren so that a big peloton can form behind on the local laps. Its still a while to the finish after the Moeren.

 

[Netserk]

De Lie breaking the group!

 

[Samamba]

That's just not a smart move. His own teammates behind now. Go together then. It's waiting till the Moeren now

 

[Samamba]

De Lie just doing a training and having fun. Cause this aint the spot to do it. Headwind 5km coming before Moeren.

He only dropped his own teammate lmao

EDIT: so this is the headwind part, all about the positioning for the Moeren now

 

[joseph89]

I'm confused by de lie's tactics, killing your own team mates

 

[Berniece]

Politt keeps trying

He really needs to find a better moment

 

[joseph89]

Lotto-Dstny riding like knuckleheads

 

[Didinho]

G2 closer. But the Moeren in 4km.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good to see De Lie in great condition! Shame there arent any big races coming up where he can test his mettle against the big names!

 

[Samamba]

G2 coming closer fast because of the headwind. I wouldn't count a bunch sprint out honestly if there isn't a group that works together clear after the Moeren.

 

[Samamba]

No idea why someone like Lampaert is doing turns in G2 when he has 3 teammates with his sprinter in front.

They are coming back before the Moeren.

 

[Didinho]

Almost there!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Yves Lampaert, forever the best domestique any team other than his own could ask for.

 

[Didinho]

Quickstep all in the back in G1.

De Lie almost dropped. And dropped.

 

[Netserk]

All riders leaning!

 

[Didinho]

De Lie lol.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

lol
