Once, twice, three times a Lotte victory? 21st Women's Ronde van Vlaanderen, March 31st, 2024

[Didinho]

Hope Shirin goes another time solo. Not just doing a leadout again.

 

[meat puppet]

Niewiadoma has less racing tactics, to be fair.

That's what makes this so beautiful

 

[awavey]

theres that golden cone again.

 

[Brullnux]

Actually, it wasn’t that stupid by elb to close the gap asap and start working. Chasers aren’t that far.

Yeah I thought that 3 with a 15s gap makes more sense than risking 1 with a 15-20s gap, especially when ELB win never win a sprint.

 

[jaylew]

Can Kasia finally get a win? It's been 5 years since her last.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Actually, it wasn’t that stupid by elb to close the gap asap and start working. Chasers aren’t that far. The biggest danger is not kasia but the vos / kopecky group.

It wasn't stupid per se, but there would have been a lot more tactical racing in G2 if only Van Anrooij had been in front.

 

[jaylew]

Van Anrooij probably wins the sprint, no?

I wouldn't think so. I think she's the slowest of the 3.

 

[Lequack]

This is much more exciting than the MVDP training ride in the men's race.

 

[awavey]

Can Kasia finally get a win? It's been 5 years since her last.

discounting her gravel world championship. possibly the way this is going at the moment Kopecky could even win

 

[Andy262]

Why doesn’t Kasia just sit on?

 

[awavey]

Why doesn’t Kasia just sit on?

because Kasia

Of course. Should have specified road.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I wouldn't think so. I think she's the slowest of the 3.

They could all three win or finish 3rd, depending on how they race the final and who has the most left.

Why doesn’t Kasia just sit on?

It simply ain't her style.

 

[Volderke]

There is a moment in time kasia should stop working. But when?

 

[meat puppet]

Why doesn’t Kasia just sit on?

Chasers? Gotta get a buffer first

 

[Brullnux]

I wouldn't think so. I think she's the slowest of the 3.

Didn't van Anrooij outsprint Kasia at Amstel last year?

 

[Didinho]

I wouldn't think so. I think she's the slowest of the 3.

She’s not that slow. But she gave a lot in that solo.

 

[jaylew]

2v1 ELB/SVA trios have become a thing.

 

[Didinho]

Another Canyon win incoming.

 

[awavey]

Of course. Should have specified road.

tbf I normally call her out for having not won on the road lately as well, perpetual bridesmaid and all that, but it does feel like that gravel win clicked something in her. we'll know in 4km

 

[Brullnux]

Surely ELB or van anrooij attacks with 1km to go?

 

[Didinho]

Kasia stop working now. But then attacks are coming.

 

[meat puppet]

Kasia to do a sneaky attack at 700-600m

 

[Didinho]

Yeah time for surplace.

 

[noob]

wtf
