Renewi Tour - 20-24 August 2025

[Tim Cahill]

Great situation for Del Grosso

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Mathieu doing Mathieu things

 

[Samamba]

Well Van der POel not with his classics legs it seems. Wellens is getting stronger

Very good for Del Grosso now indeed

 

[Didinho]

De Lie’s mind should be studied. Spending a lot of unnecessary energy immediately after closing the gap. But he’s always been impressive on the Vesten finish, I’m still expecting him to win against these 2.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wellens cutting his own throat

 

[Didinho]

De Lie gonna drop hard on Denderoodberg. Looks spent now. And still working again lol.

 

[Samamba]

De Lie and Wellens are burrying themselves without any again. No way Alpecin loses this

 

[postmanhat]

Del Grosso needs to start helping, or jump across solo if that fits in with the team plans. G2 done now I think,

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van der Poel is probably better off letting Del Grosso come back, IMO Alpecin should not be pulling anywhere.

I agree, but Mathieu is still saving himself more than Wellens and definitely De Lie right now imo.

 

[Samamba]

You can clearly see who'(s the least experienced one here.

Very entertaining stage once again tho. More entertaining than I thought it would be.

Gap going out, he's making it impossible for Del Grosso to jump across. The man hasn't been in a tactical classics-style finale for so long that he's forgotten how to use his brain in them.

Yeah this isn't smart, I agree. Del Grosso shouldve started working at some point to keep it close.

Well nvm now, Del Grosso mechanical

I do still think Van der POel will easily win this. He's more explosive than Wellens and De Lie looks completely spent.

 

[Didinho]

Del Grosso bike change.

...never mind. That's some *** luck.

 

[Andre]

very fast bike change

 

[Didinho]

He’s back. Looking strong and between the cars.

De Lie is cooked. Another Mathieu solo try incoming on Denderoodberg.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Del Grosso fetching himself a couple of bottles for the thirsty coming 11 kilometres.

 

[Andre]

De Lie gaining valuable experience here

Definitely a bottle or two lol

 

[Samamba]

Yeah I think Mathieu drops them all (definitely De Lie and Wellens can't beat him in a sprint) on Denderoorberg.

 

[Tim Cahill]

De Lie might have to rely on Wellens to neutralise him

 

[Samamba]

Can De Lie stop riding like that ffs. Just chill.

 

[Didinho]

De Lie should take a grand total of 0 pulls now. His only chance.

 

[Samamba]

I wouldn't want to go to the Vesten with De Lie...
