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

[Netserk]

Maybe a bit more will happen after the next city, Hoetsel, as they turn south and get the wind from their left.

 

[RedheadDane]

TV2 just showing a random interview with... Hellemose... for some reason.

 

[Rackham]

Italian press trying to get attention.

Pog is favorite. He has to be. I feel people in the media (certainly judging by Eurosport's pre race predictor) have collective amnesia and might have forgotten just how strong Pog was last season.

This is pretty much the first race this season where he can show something serious.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Crash, unmotivated

 

[ice&fire]

I have this bike race in one screen and the Women's World Chess Champ in another screen, and right now there is more action in the chess game

 

[iBanesto]

Van Eetvelt crash...

 

[Salvarani]

Van Eetvelt and Canal involved in a crash.

Neither looked hurt or that it was serious.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Van Eetvelt down. Already back on his bike though.
Wonder how that happened.

Van Etvelt down. Already back on his bike though.
Wonder how that happened.

Perhaps just got tangled up.

 

[Samamba]

Van Eetvelt gonna get out of this RVV with 3 fractured bones.

 

[Salvarani]

Hesters is alone! They better not let him get away

 

[RedheadDane]

Hesters is alone! They better not let him get away

Did he leave the hotel room through the door, or through the window?

 

[Netserk]

Vermeersch and Narváez at the front.

 

[Samamba]

Very stressful start. If it's gonna be like this the coming 100Km it will be insanely hard en there will be some crashes.

All because of the wind i guess

 

[Salvarani]

Did he leave the hotel room through the door, or through the window?

Are you asking because you are wondering how Van Aert somehow escaped from under your couch?

 

[RedheadDane]

Are you asking because you are wondering how Van Aert somehow escaped from under your couch?

No, I'm asking because the window was Hesters' exit-method last Sunday...

(Check the GW thread for more info)

 

[Netserk]

Tailwind now, but they turn south again after Aalter.

 

[Salvarani]

Alpecin guys starting to come to the front now as well. Positioning themselves.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at Jasper Stuyven there, cracking his fingers and stretching his arms to show how absolutely primed he is for a day of doing absolutely f*ck all for his teammate Pedersen.

Danish for 'Hell 🦌'?

This is pretty much the first race this season where he can show something serious.

If it translates to him being much stronger this year than in 2023 is hard to say. This is not a tough mountain stage, LBL or GdL, where Pog more easily can make a difference. In Ronde, only one climb is a 3 minute effort, rest is less than so and more explosive.

 

[Netserk]

Dillier patrolling, mostly keeping an eye on Lidl-Trek riders.

 

[Salvarani]

No, I'm asking because the window was Hesters' exit-method last Sunday...

(Check the GW thread for more info)

I cant think of something more funny to say.

Maybe @Samu Cuenca can have a go.

 

[RedheadDane]

Danish for 'Hell 🦌'?

No.
Danish Jayco rider, who... isn't even in the race...

I cant think of something more funny to say.

Maybe @Samu Cuenca can have a go.

He already had his go over in the GW thread.

 

[Samamba]

break is gone
