Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2026, February 28

[Tim Cahill]

Brennan, De Lie down, if it wasn't race over then well it is now

Edit: De Lie not down I think but caught up? Brennan got up and carried on but it's over for him.

 

[MJR]

Florian unknowingly doing a lead-out.

 

[KZD]

Van der Poel dropping the bomb.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Ok, see you next race!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Good job pulling all the way to the bottom of the Muur, Florian.

 

[Salvarani]

MVDP

gg

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Genius by Vermeersch

 

[Didinho]

Good tactics Florian. Say hi to Wellens on the Bosberg.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hahahaha the much-vaunted Muur instadrop, a Cancellara style seated lifting of pace.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

so how many from the morning break are still in front of the hard chasing peloton?

 

[Rou]

Lol. He absolutely destroyed them

 

[Red Rick]

Vermeersch helping VdP to then climb the Muur even slower than Boonen in 2010

 

[Netserk]

vermeersch ...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Frog merchant.

 

[KoopaCycling]

That took an eternity till Van Dijke showed up. MVDP is gone.
I do hope Vermeersch will be peaking later, and is not on his peak yet.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Tim Van Dijke looks pretty legit actually, nice one

UAE's Roubaix co-leader coming to grief as expected

 

[Samamba]

Brennan, De Lie down, if it wasn't race over then well it is now

Edit: De Lie not down I think but caught up? Brennan got up and carried on but it's over for him.

De Lie's wheel got hit so bike was done. Did not crash but race over.

 

[Salvarani]

He gave it a try.

What else he supposed to do, lol?

If anything he should have pulled more so the gap was bigger to the peloton, to secure a podium at least.

 

[search]

Bora has three or four guys left including Meeus. But it'll likely be for 2nd only

 

[Rou]

Now I hope Vermeersch loses the podium.

 

[Brumdog66]

Watching this and remembering how they used for race against Sagan when he was the strongest

They have the favorite for 2nd up the road anyway, so they shouldn‘t chase.

 

[Red Rick]

NOS: "Its incredibly tense"

Buddy please refer me to your dealer en heel snel

 

[Salvarani]

Watching this and remembering how they used for race against Sagan when he was the strongest

Yeah, but I also think MVDP is much stronger than Sagan was.

those two will be caught anyway
