27 km to go in Brussels Classic.
Remco, Gilbert, Van der Sande, Campenaerts, Hirschi, McNulty and A. De Gendt have 1'45" on the chasing group.

 

[roundabout]

technically that was a cobbled section in the Brussels Cycling Classic, in reality no, not really

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Almost all of the lead group goes the wrong way. Remco now looking even better for the win!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bad yellow arrows spoil the race

 

[Samamba]

Ffs, first in Limburg now this. Pathetic.

2 times it fucks over LTS

 

[SafeBet]

Lol never a normal race with Remco nowadays.

 

[roundabout]

looked like the signal guy was asleep as well at first in addition to the motorbike going the wrong way

 

[Bonimenier]

They won't see Evenepoel and De Gendt back

 

[Faserr]

Well, this killed the race...

 

[SafeBet]

Aaaaaaaaand he's gone.

 

[Samamba]

This was such a good race, we were in for a very exciting final and then we get this.

Remco gone with the weakest guy in the group, great.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Congratulations to Evenepoel, but what a shame the race got ruined by that incident.

 

[Samamba]

Remco is a smaller one day race God, and it's quite possible that he would've won anyways, but these things piss me off.

Quite the badass top10 in Turul Romaniei stage 3, with the 50 years old Davide Rebellin finishing 6th and Nicolas Vinokurov 8th.
Rebellin turned pro a few years before Nicolas' father, who I presume you all know, did.

The stage was won by Emil Dima.

Would have been even better if it had been Nicolas' twin who'd been 8th!

First win with Intermarche for Ghirmay. And first win in Europe (as a pro).

This thread should be renamed to "What can Remco win this year"

 

[Mayomaniac]

First win with Intermarche for Ghirmay. And first win in Europe (as a pro).

Nice to see Remco's daddy Bini getting a quality win.

Velasco is in great shape atm, probably the best he's been since leaving Scinto.

 

[RedheadDane]

Why is he getting a yellow jersey, though?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Why is he getting a yellow jersey, though?

It used to be raced over two days, so it's probably a sponsor thing.

 

[RedheadDane]
