Ronde van Vlaanderen 2025, one day monument, April 6 (men's)

[E_F_]

A Lidl bit of tactical thinking from Trek?

 

[Red Rick]

They didn't even show that Ganna was on the move lol. Why didn't Mads go with that

Because it would have been a smart move.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Iirc Alpecin were sending guys to sit on these moves last year, with actual competition here they should work this time round with Hermans.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

A dangerous break with strong guys formed. Alpecin guy ahead of the peleton as well. It seems Pogacar will have almost no horsepower left for the finale. Let's see what's next.

Pedersen was active at that point, Van Aert covered him. But it was hard to see what happened.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hoole surely isn't just sitting on like Robbie is saying, please tell me he's not just sitting on.

 

[Red Rick]

I don't think the Ganna group are gonna get there.

 

[Salvarani]

Neither Hermans or Hoole doing anything

 

[Monsi]

Yeah that Ganna group might be cooked if Hermans and Hoole aren't contributing

EDIT: Nvm they are working now.

Dude. WTH.

 

[Salvarani]

Now they are helping!

 

[Netserk]

Took a while for the two passengers to contribute to the Italian move.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Looks like they've had a lightbulb go off.

Its gonna be very difficult for pog now as no one is gonna position him to the front for 2nd kwaremont

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Morgado and Bjerg are working

 

[Monsi]

UAE are actually keeping the gap stable to the Benoot group for now.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Lotta yellow left in the bunch.

 

[Netserk]

So Swift won't drop back until after Valkenberg?

 

[rghysens]

Gradually closing the gap

 

[Tim Cahill]

Now Swift will drop back you would think

 

[AmRacer]

UAE has no other choice but pulling the peloton hard.

Favorites are just going to motor past all of these bodies

Favorites are just going to motor past all of these bodies

This is probably what will happen, but let us dream for a few minutes.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rolf with a brilliant description of the climbs:
"They're a bit too long to be short."

 

[Peyroteo94]

How many UAE are left?
