Renewi Tour - 20-24 August 2025

[Samamba]

De Lie dropped, he doesn't have the legs

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Too bad about De Lie, anyway the race is on....

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bit of drama there, Skujin's checking Bettiol then getting a barge from Wright, good stuff!!!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Go Bettiol ffs.

 

[tobydawq]

MVDP destroyed everybody in that sprint....

Including himself. He looked quite laboured closing the gap.

 

[Didinho]

These 4 could be gone. Mathieu leader after the sprints.

De Lie went too deep 2 days ago.

Throw them all three out.

 

[Didinho]

4 teams with 1 rider going all out in the peloton.

Hoho Mathieu still something left. Vacek should ride for the Belgians now.

 

[tobydawq]

How hard is it to pay attention to Wellens?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wellens doing the right thing but Bettiol the one who profits

 

[Didinho]

How hard is it to pay attention to Wellens?

Wellens always goes hard after Mathieu’s pull and he’s waiting for others to follow but can’t.

Peloton back. Quickstep looks strong enough for Magnier.

 

[Samamba]

Quickstep looks strong enough for Magnier.

Yes, but Van der Poel will just go again and then there won't be enough time to get him back probably.

 

[Squire]

Wellens always goes hard after Mathieu’s pull and he’s waiting for others to follow but can’t.

Peloton back. Quickstep looks strong enough for Magnier.

Horse still there. But can he survive the final lap?

 

[Samamba]

The better riders look pretty done. De Lie completely dead, he will be happy if he's on the podium, Wellens also losing terrain.

Van der Poel... Well he's never dead.

 

[Tim Cahill]

VDP surely better off trying to let some ciciban break take it

 

[Didinho]

Thibau should go now. Magnier good. Merlier done.

 

[tobydawq]

VDP surely better off trying to let some ciciban break take it

Definitely. But I don't think he or Tibor are pulling now, so they might have realised the same.

 

[tobydawq]

Alas, now Van der Poel is closing the front duo...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Magnier hammering......

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Merlier spat out...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Struggling hopelessly through a bunch of those Giro stages seemed to do Magnier a lot of good, looked really fit since.

 

[tobydawq]

Alas, now Van der Poel is closing the front duo...

And now he lets Wellens go again. Both Mathieu and Tibor just look at it happening... My God.

 

[Didinho]

VDP surely better off trying to let some ciciban break take it

They should try to let Gianni in the break. You never see him but always ends up top 10.

Don’t know why Mathieu still rides. First fighting to get seconds and now working for De Lie. Not so smart.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Excellent racing, De Lie somehow still there after looking second hand all stage.

 

[Didinho]

A lot of fast riders here. But who got the best legs. You would think Magnier or Kooij. Maybe Bittner. De Lie also another gear in a last km.
