Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 1.UWT (24/2/2018)

[Netserk]

And Greg has decided that it's time.

 

[WheelofGear]

GVA is attacking!

Doesn't want Wellens to go solo?

 

[portugal11]

phil gil is not there...

 

[pink_jersey]

Etixx and Lotto the only teams with 2 riders in the front group.

 

[jaylew]

Benoot looks strong

 

[Samamba]

Benoot really strong but alone is mission impossible.

 

[Netserk]

I wouldn't say impossible, but hard when the bunch is still so big.

 

[Netserk]

He just needs some Mattan pacing :lol:

 

[WheelofGear]

Peloton too big.

 

[Samamba]

Re:

The bunch is controlling like it's gonna be a bunch sprint. Impossible imo.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Pretty boring route tbh

 

[WheelofGear]

The headwind is killing the race.

 

[Netserk]

Pretty unfortunate weather. It'll be interesting to see if anyone wants to cooperate with Greg after the Muur. Matthews for the win?

 

[WheelofGear]

Matthews ftw would be anti-climax. He is never taking a pull. Then I'm not watching cycling.. at least until Strade Bianche.

 

[Netserk]

Lol, please don't tell me they believe in Cort

 

[WheelofGear]

Worst edition since.. ever?

 

[Netserk]

#NoTaaienbergNoParty

To be honest, this race would be better off if it wasn't WT.

 

[Blanco]

I'll pick Colbrelli for the win.

 

[WheelofGear]

This rare needs Peter Sagan. Would have attacked in headwind.

 

[Netserk]

First Omloop without Boonen since 2001. It has been felt. #GodIsDead

Would just be better if they scratched the new route. Its simply a too easy race, the climbs are not in quick succession and not on cobbles. You are downgrading the whole race just to include Muur

 

[WheelofGear]

The leaders are doing nothing.

 

[Netserk]

Greg and Sep ready to take off.

 

[TomLPC]

Great attack!

 

[WheelofGear]

Stybar looks amazing but the group is still too big.
