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

[RedheadDane]

Not to forget the Great Belgian Spilak race.

I thought Remco was freed of Spilak-ness when he won the Vuelta.

Lennert Van Eetvelt added to the startlist (on PCS), while Arnaud De Lie was removed.

Can’t see that working out well as Imit feels like he has missed every front split in crosswinds in his entire career.

I'm confident Alaphilippe can do the business.

 

[del1962]

If that one doesn't get a like from @del1962 I am going to start doubting his username.

I had to google them, disbanded before I got into music properly

You obviously didn't have the houseful of older siblings playing music in the early 70s that I had...

I will make the bold prediction that Luca Mozzato will not end on the podium for the second year in a row.

 

[Lequack]

That's quite bold of you.

 

[tobydawq]

That's quite bold of you.

I did claim to be just that.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Not sure philepsen is ever getting a proper race named after him. Maybe some kind of demolition derby like the shceldeprijs

Maybe bring back Red Hook for that...

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Weather looks perfect temperature wise, but the wind looks to be a bit stiff.

 

[Berniece]

What’s the wind / weather forecasts for Sunday?

No rain, sun all day, around 11 degrees celsius. Wind around 15km/u, coming from the east.

Bettiol DNS. Long infection.

That's extremely ugly, we luckily won't see it a lot in front

 

[Netserk]

Ugly in a good way!

I like it. Too many boring plain jerseys today. Bring back ONCE and Kelme style jerseys.

Public Notice to MVDP: don't get caught behind in a split, under no circumstances are you to attack the Pog, let him tow you and bury him in the sprint.
I'm hoping a breakaway forms and the Pog and the MVP look at each other till it's too late. (This is unlikely but would be the most interesting outcome.)

Ugly, as all cycling jerseys should be.

Some recon pictures from today

A lottery by chance, indeed!

They shouldn't.

This is the campest cycling jersey in a loooong time.

I love it.

Is Philpsen riding?

No

 

[Peyroteo94]

Is Philpsen riding?

For what? To enjoy the gruppetto?
