Very dull race. One day races with a 95% guaranteed bunch sprint are a blight on the calendar.
Lmao. To be fair, I never said one of those two were legit contenders for today. We were just discussing who's the main man for bunch sprints.All that talk about who will be Jumbo's main man, and then they don't have either one of them in the top ten!
Steppers and Bennett just head and shoulders above everyone else.
The wind was about 18kmh and cross to cross tail. As I said before the race, possibly not strong enough to split the race. But as others said, any wind in the right direction in De Moeren can split the field.Yeah, it was fun last year, though, and I don't think the chances are 95 %. If there is just a small wind, gaps will be created in De Moeren. But without any wind, there is not much point in the race.
Beautifully timed attack. She's making a speciality of this now.Brown is a star who is an attacking and strong rider - She's so suited to Belgian styl races.
