Obvious car drafting by Wout...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Come on devriendt!

 

[woodburn]

This is not the worst thing for Mohoric. He can now sit on for a while and prepare to nuclear closer to the finish.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Because they still ride on thin rubber, you can get puncture proof tires but you ain’t gonna win a bike race on them.

Ironically Van Aert himself won one of his CX worlds by choosing for thicker tyres.

ya...when there's cars between you and the back of the bunch...you draft...you new to watching cycling?

Fair call but we are talking road racing here

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Mohoric doesn't need to rest, apparently.

 

[Mayomaniac]

How is it the easier sectors where the key punctures are happening?

This year they didn't clean them, so lots of gravel and small rocks on the cobbles.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Don't understimate Mohoric. The longer and harder it is, the stronger he gets.

That's like that guy going to a bar, who first ordered 5 beers. After he finished those he ordered 4 beers. Then 3, and so on. He also didn't understand that the less beers he drank, the more drunk he got.

Van Der Poel could be doing the best bluff ever, but he doesn't look strong.

 

[StryderHells]

Stuyven has been going along nicely

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Wva still wasting so much energy. The guy must have incredible form to allow to come back from repeated mechanicals and then burn stupid energy as well.

 

[Amazinmets87]

Poor sap up front doesn't have a prayer.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Van Der Poel could be doing the best bluff ever, but he doesn't look strong.

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing. When he's strong, he usually isn't this quiet.

 

[johnymax]

When the winner of Milan-San Remo still has 40 second lead?

Not anymore...
But like I said, I was only joking

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

...and he pulls through

 

[CyclistAbi]

Mohorič should try ASAP. Maybe time for some cooperation with van Aert.

 

[glassmoon]

So seems like Cerefour it is then... let them fight.

Seemed like Wout drafting by the cars!

 

[dgodave]

I love that word "sector". It sounds very sci-fi.

 

[meat puppet]

Not w-out, but these semi-attacks/pulls are senseless, just eat WVA's own legs. Commit for once and go properly.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Go go gooooo Tom!!!!!!!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Very entertaining race today. As good as October IMO.

 

[Red Rick]

The COVID brain fog is very real

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I hope they all look at each other. Come on Tom
