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

Re: Re:

Naesen and GVA doing far more than their share. Astana not doing much.

Small pulls from Trentin and Colbrelli. Disappointing, they are usually sprinters who are great in breaks.

Everyone takes small pulls, except Naesen?

 

[TMP402]

I preferred the years with smaller groups, like Stannard vs OPQS.

 

[WheelofGear]

Peloton is close. This is horrible racing.

 

[SKSemtex]

Why Gatto was attacking?
He supposed to be the fastest out of these Astana riders? Or

 

[TMP402]

Oh, Sep.

 

[WheelofGear]

Holy ***.. Valgren.

Astana is on fire.

 

[jaylew]

Valgren going to take this

 

[SKSemtex]

Gva will not win the race without Sagan

 

[Poursuivant]

Wtf was Trentin doing

 

[Alexandre B.]

Danes winning big races.

 

[UselessToo]

A deserved winner from the strongest team

 

[Carols]

Valgren! Go Boy!

 

[TMP402]

Pathetic racing from everyone but Astana.

Re:

What happened to Lotto Soudal?

Wellens was their first at the beginning of the Muur and he was in like 35th position They just can't place themselfves. Thet can't do it in a bunch sprint, they can't do it just before a hill,... they just can't. It's really annoying.

 

[winkybiker]

That was just horrible. What a waste of time.

 

[Netserk]

I would preferred Sep, but fair game, Valgren did try numerous times and Astana did have the numbers as well.

 

[fauniera]

Crap route. Go back to the old one, please.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

a bit of a mess fro the big favourites

 

[Samamba]

Valgren and Astana did good, congrats!

 

[jaylew]

Perfect timing from Valgren

 

[Gigs_98]

I forgot about the race and switched on with 8 km to go. Looks like I didn't miss much which is quite sad for a cobbles classic.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

That was a surprise

Re:

This.

 

[Kazistuta]

Vanmarcke and Stybar seemed the strongest, Astana surprisingly the smartest.

 

[sir fly]

Good move from Valgren, congrats. Hopefully it will help Astana.
Guess the top favourites weren't ready to go all out thinking 5 weeks ahead.
Styby looks good for the next weekend.
