God, I hate everything about this.

What things do you like?

 

[Netserk]

Only hope left is that Van der Poel is somehow hurt enough that he won't pull with Pogi, but not hurt so much so that he'll get dropped (before the last Kwaremont).

God, I hate everything about this.

Yeah, the illusion of a race...

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Ok, time for the finale soon. Hopefully it will be epic.

Alpecin moving up on the cycle path...

 

[yaf2]

He is gonna finish it off for them

What things do you like?

Bicycle races.

Beautiful painting on that house

Isolate Pogacar and make this a tactical war.

I see your point, but given the current caliber of riders, it won't be tactics but legs that decide this race. Also WVA wants to win. In your scenario he must be willing to allow a teammate to possible win in case Pogacar does not give chase. Then hope he can follow Pogacar, and outsprint a fatigued Pogacar (don't see WVA dropping Pogacar). Honestly sending Jorgenson up ahead won't change the outcome much imo. Maybe help chase Pogacar in case a gap opens up after a climb. that's about it rly. Or maybe i'm just thinking to negatively about WVA chances.

Hopefully next week will be a better race, as I think any scenario that doesn't have Pog murdering everyone pretty soon, is just wishful thinking. Then again, Houston beat Duke last night, and nobody thought that would happen until there were 20 seconds left.

Gap is minimal, Pogacar and MVP will catch them before Paterberg.

 

[Flamin]

MVDP looks totally fine. I don't think he even touched the asphalt actually.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Visma and Ineos surely about to mob before Kwaremont, if Pogacar starts in good position it's bad news.

 

[Savant12]

UAE riders putting in a shift.

 

[E_F_]

Flanders Classics really engineered the route to ensure, that almost all the action happens on Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, didn't they.

 

[Monsi]

Politt looks strong wow

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fight starting already

 

[Tim Cahill]

All of a sudden LIdl, EF, even Jayco right at the front after not being seen for half an hour.

 

[Red Rick]

Don't remember a group this big approaching 2nd Kwaremont

 

[Medvind]

Wow, Kwaremont will be superinteresting. What alien mode is Pog in? Can MVDP follow? How about van Aert, Jorgenson and Pedersen. Answers in a moment.

 

[Tim Cahill]

AI Kyle Walker dressed as a farmer

 

[Netserk]

Van Baarle seems to have mentally checked out.

 

[Gigs_98]

So Treks takeaway from GW really was "let Mads battle it out with MvdP and Pogi on the final 50kms". If they think so...

 

[Stubb]

Visma seems ready, go Matteo!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Here comes visma with real pace
