SO CLOOOOSE

Mauro Schmid has only ridden for himself, no proper work for Bling.

Schmid was riding to team tactics. He and Martin were close to catching Healy and Ciccone on Rox De Faucaux. Bling did a disappointing sprint to waste the good work by Jayco.

 

[Red Rick]

The moment of truth on La Redoute.

I didn't know Go Ahead Eagles was so popular in Wallonia.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I the interview yesterday it seemed he had mouth ulcers, maybe something is wrong. Remco 2023 was on a completely different level.

But it might just be that the injury and lack of training is catching up after three hard races in a week. Let's hear what he has to say afterwards.

My commentator kept on saying Remco had not raced for 7 months, I think the lack of training is showing.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

3 Lidl-Trek guys among the top 6 and none of them is Skjelmose...

The garlic didn't work.

And for Velasco as well.

could have been even better im Scaroni had done a bit of work. But maybe they were the ones who paid off IPT instead.

 

[Rou]

Remco capitulated like in the Vuelta 2023.
Let's see his excuses tonight but I don't think it's health related.

 

[postmanhat]

Quite amused by Laurance finishing ahead of Pidcock for Ineos.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I mean, he looked hurt at Fleche after the crash, no wonder he wasn't good today

Yeah, it was more about how impressive their overall team strength was.

They were possibly also hoping Scaroni could finish in the top 20 or better.

Go Astana, go!

Racing is overrated, he'd been to altitude camp and everything.

Quite possible he got sick in Fleche, but I don't buy it's just a lack of racing.

If not, what a loser.

Definitely think it was another mental collapse.

 

[MJR]

5th for Nys. Impressive.

I'm more in the lack of training camp, not necessarily racing. I don't think he's quite there yet and today was pretty strange. (Waiting for his interview...)

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

Yes, Nys overall was pretty good here and in Amstel, given these were his first 250+ km races. Bagioli can be strong, unfortunately he is wildly inconsistent

The rain jacket affair.

My opinion aswell

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So congrats to Pogacar on an impressive victory, his 3rd in LBL and 9th monument (tied 3rd all time). Nobody even tried to follow and then he easily built his gap. Remco was cooked at the end, no suspence at all. Good for Healy and Ciccone, who fought well and got top3 places.

BTW what a spring classics campaign: two monuments won (RVV, LBL), podiums in another two (MSR, PR) plus victories in Strade and FW. The best classics spring since...?

 

[Rou]

The funny thing is Ciccone looked strong and finished second. 3 days ago Storer made him look like a pedestrian. Just a small wink about Michael. LoL

yeah, sure, but today there was much more to gain than to lose.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Didnt someone mention Ala and Stockeu before the race? Good shout

@topcat

 

[houtdffan]

Definitely think it was another mental collapse.

Vuelta 2023 was not a mental collapse.

He even said what was going to happen before the 2023 Vuelta. If he could not win, he was going to lose time and focus on stages. He was not riding for podium that year as he said a podium meant nothing to him

 

[RedheadDane]

They're having the podium ceremony  now?
What happened to waiting, and switching over to the women's race?
