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

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Well, at least it happened later than expected.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar seems to be a MVP's domestique

 

[Tim Cahill]

Staggering effort to hold onto these attacks honestly

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pedersen became too heavy after eating that gel.

 

[KZD]

Stuyven doing a great race today.

Pedersen once again making the mistake of taking turns but he would be dropped on the Kwaremont anyway.

 

[E_F_]

Mads looking kinda dead.

 

[Salvarani]

Wout caught a second wind

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think MVDP is the favourite right now. Looks a bit uncomfortable but holding easily enough.

Pog has made all of the attacks, and MVDP has not had to do anything but cover and stick.

I think we will see something different pretty soon.

 

[Gigs_98]

If those three catch the front two will Stuyven do a leadout into the Kwaremont?

 

[Red Rick]

Van Aert getting 4th is written in the the stars.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Stuyven go through that wall in order to make it even more interesting

 

[saunaking]

jeez was it like this back in the day with Boonen and Cancellera two guys just head and shoulders above the rest. nobody on that planet other than these 2

 

[Stubb]

Has pogi ever eaten in the last 30 kms? Hope he learned form his past errors.

 

[iBanesto]

Mads looking kinda dead.

He was dead a few times over the last few climbs.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They won't give up, if the 2 are together in the finale then there will be tactics played and if the gap is small enough they can make it back for the sprint.

 

[Peyroteo94]

MVP will drop Pogacar in the Paterberg.

 

[ice&fire]

I think the question is slowly becoming, If MvdP and Pogi go over the final Paterberg together should Pogacar take another pull or wheelsuck to the line

If he wheelsucks he might finish 7th or something

 

[limak_]

We're so blessed to be able to admire those two racing against each other

 

[iBanesto]

Has pogi ever eaten in the last 30 kms? Hope he learned form his past errors.

Vingegaard was the fastest sprinter in the world that day.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

We're so unfortunate to have to watch trek and visma trying to race a classic cohesively

 

[Leinster]

Wout has completed the 4-D chess move of getting out of a group of 3 Vismas, a Trek and an FDJ, and into a group of himself and 2 Treks.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I think the question is slowly becoming, If MvdP and Pogi go over the final Paterberg together should Pogacar take another pull or wheelsuck to the line

Pogacar is too much of a window licker to race smart.

 

[Jan the Man]

MvP looks so strong

 

[meat puppet]

Wout is riding with real heart. Win or not, slagging on the guy is just hater BS.

Quoted for truth

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

No, this isn't a Monument win for Wout, but it's great to see him riding like this. I don't think anyone can deny that last year's two crashes are the reason for where he is right now. A year of good luck could see next year being a different matter than this one.
