Should teams worry about lazkano in the break?

One day we will have a 50 kph edition! Incredible! This year is set for another record

They are like 8 minutes faster than the time table for a fast time suggests right now.

No, his form was ***, DNFed half of the classics he rode or ended up not even in the Top 100.

Only natural—Visma doesn’t have the team depth of UAE and Lidl in this race in 2025. Those years are a thing of the past.

Yeah, they had the best team at Ronde/Flemish classics but without Benoot and Jorgenson it drops off a lot. Van Baarle has been MIA for two years now, Laporte also.

So he fooled you allright 😂

Rory in the lead group in both Paris-Roubaix and the US Masters. Hopefully at least one of them can win.

That’s a long game right there! EF level of strategy

Maybe, but that doesn't help him with the actual task: fool his form to get a good result.

Gold bikes banned for non-gold medal holders please.

No more fun in the peloton. All quiet now.

Pee sprints have begun. Time to head back to bed?

Not sure why people thought 18km/u wind would be enough to create echelons. Sure if like 3 teams go full at some it's always possible, but chances were slim.

Hoelgaard could get far here. Rutsch too. Lazkano depends on his form

He needs additional weight for this one

Norsgaard clearly didn't read my post in the CQ Game thread.

A bathroom sounds more appropriate, but you do you.

Lazkano will show that he's been sandbagging all year and is going to do a repeat of his glorious 2023 DDV.

Even without wind, the first phase before it calms down can easily take more than an hour.

It's 3:30am in my area so I'm watching this in bed already, but right now I'm too jazzed to sleep! (Might happen later, there are still 203 km to go.)

This year, Arenberg is relatively late in the race ~ Jens Voigt

It‘s in the same spot as any time in the last years, what does this mean?

It wouldn't be better to sleep earlier and wake up at 5:30 am?

I agree that the break went fairly easy yes
Also another reason why Hoelgaard, Rutsch, ... could go far. Did not have to spend a lot of energy to even get in the right break.

As much as i liked him as a rider and even character back then, as a commentator hes insufferable... Always listening to the english feed, if hes on

Maxtin and Gianetti booking tickets to Antarctica as we speak, If this goes tits up for Pogacar they'll be going the way of the Turkish/Saudi Journalist.
