Also the fourth podium in a row for Hofstetter.Meanwhile, over in Drenthe, Dries (Van Gestel) was actually first, while Barnabas didn't quite peak. Another 'Dries' (De Bondt) was eighth.

Yes, but I couldn't think of a pun with his name.Also the fourth podium in a row for Hofstetter.
Not a pun, but because I switched over after T-A, the Danish commentators made me believe Van Dijke was actually Hofstede.Yes, but I couldn't think of a pun with his name.
I think this race deserves monument status.Final lap in the Bredene Koksijde Classic, full bunch sprint incoming.
Where else should he have gone?! He clearly signalled when he would pull over.Ackermann finally sprinted forwards!
Dangerous move by whoever was pulling for QS without any of his teammates near the front to swing off like that in the turn. De Lie almost crashed as a result and couldn't sprint after that.
The question isn't where but when, that was an inopportune place to swing off.Where else should he have gone?! He clearly signalled when he would pull over.
After just winning a stage in Paris-Nice. A reminder what a dangerous sport this can be.Anthony Perez won the Classic Loire Atlantique (1.1) yesterday. Biggest news however was Mathieu Burgaudeau, stage winner in Paris-Nice, crashing out and suffering big injuries. Apparently he fractured a colarbone and shoulder blade and has a collapsed lung. Really sad news.
I think it was always going to end in a bit of a bunch sprint (or reduced bunch sprint). Worked out for AG2R in the end anyway. But yeah, wow, Askey is really strong. With that close cut hair and lanky body he looks a bit like MvDP on the bike.So close for Askey and Lapeira at Cholet. Caught with a few hundred metres remaining. Askey is a beast, but surely someone at FDJ can tell him to stop attacking so much and conserve a bit of energy.
First race day of the year after major surgery. It obviously workedHirschi wins Per Sempre Alfredo!
Very similar in the way MVDP rides as well it seems. Really hoping they give him a full cobbles season. He's only down for E3 so far.I think it was always going to end in a bit of a bunch sprint (or reduced bunch sprint). Worked out for AG2R in the end anyway. But yeah, wow, Askey is really strong.

Last year they rode it the day after, and I remember Thomas Bay refering to it as being the men's version of Trofeo Binda on his and Holm's podcast, so they were definitely a bit confused, too.I just think it's a little confusing that the Alfredo referred to in this race is not Alfredo Binda, as over in the WWT race held today, but rather Alfredo Martini.
