Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2026, February 28

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

those two will be caught anyway

 

[dobrien]

What an awful sh*t show. Zero interest in this.

 

[Kazistuta]

It was inevitable, but some posters would prefer riders racing for others to lose, I respect that they take their shot. If not, other posters (or maybe some of the same) would yell "wheelsuckers" instead.

 

[AmRacer]

If Mathieu can win Tadej and Remco should give it a try.

 

[jono]

Better, closer race than Faun-Ardeche, but much less complaining in that thread.

Remco might have a better shot in races like these, looking at the development of Del Toro and Seixas

 

[Boehmand]

Interesting showing from Lund Andresen, he has potential for more than just sprinting

 

[Brumdog66]

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

True and there is no wolfpack which did most of the heavy lifting

What shots were taken?

Did they work with Seixas and how many people are even watching that race?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Strange how body languages can change so fast. I liked Vermeersch body language before Geraardsbergen more than MVDP, now MVDP body language >>>> Vermeersch

 

[jono]

This "climb times" graphic they keep using is laughably wrong.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

G3 trying very hard to deny Vermeersch his just desserts.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Either that or he just wants to be sure he beats Krijnsen this time around.

 

[Salvarani]

What shots were taken?

You didnt see all the crashes?

 

[Potomac]

no spoilers

 

[Cycling111]

Remco's problems in these races are the accidents.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

True and there is no wolfpack which did most of the heavy lifting

Visma have similar strength in depth to QS back in the day and they use it for whatever the *** they thought they were doing today. I would not have begrudged Brennan his result, but him being the most important rider going down in the final crash is karma for their bad tactics.

 

[Tim Cahill]

15-20kg Remco that's all you need, eat as much pudding as you want, get on the roids and turn up looking like Ronnie Coleman.

 

[Kazistuta]

What shots were taken?

A podium shot, which they seem to get.

Because the French pee cologne 😅.

Wait until Pogacar makes his debut, the complaints in this thread will be few in comparison.

 

[Boehmand]

Either that or he just wants to be sure he beats Krijnsen this time around.

Him trying to gap everyone on Bosberg instead of just hanging on, tells me he is way more versatile than I thought.

Previously he has struggled more with both positioning and gradients, this is a great step in the right direction.

 

[Rob5091]

Nice warm up ride for MvdP.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

A podium shot, which they seem to get.

You know full well that they would have been caught by now had half the peloton not crashed on the way to Muur.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What happened to the oh-so-great Tim Wellens by the way?
