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

[Lequack]

So the SD Worx rosters is stacked, they want to take back the win that they lost last year to Longo Borghini. Before her it was Kopecky who won it twice in a row. Also returning is Anna van der Breggen, who last won it in 2018. And Wiebes in the current form might also win it. It's up to other teams to try to take it to SD Worx.

Notable riders: Kopecky, Wiebes, Van der Breggen, Longo Borghini, Vos, Niewiadoma, Swinkels, Bredewold, Lippert, Chabbey, Georgi, Persico, Paternoster, Pieterse, Van Anrooij

Fewer people have access to TNT2 than TNT1?
This way, those who have access to TNT2 can start watching from the beginning, but those who don't will still be able to watch the finale.

yep possibly, I know with Sky sports you can do that, and they do have a "main event" channel which you can get standalone, hadnt really looked into what TNT were offering thesedays.

I wonder if the ad breaks will sync

Race goes live in 5 minutes.
Time to get out your second screen.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, now we have live images.
Longo Borghini out after a crash...

 

[hfgon1]

Longo Borghini abandoned. Wiebes seems hurt too.

 

[Didinho]

I hate crashes. Even more on days like this.

 

[awavey]

So no one in the comms booth remembers AvdB specifically said she didn't want to do the Tour de France, wasn't coming back to try to win it etc etc

 

[Didinho]

Puck already Pucking. She’s gonna learn the next years.

 

[Didinho]

Some elbow work on the first part of the Koppenberg. Strongest riders separating. Kopecky looks good.

Group of 15-20 left.

 

[awavey]

Wiebes still in there then

 

[Didinho]

Fdjeux crashes on the front. With PFP. Just before the Taaienberg.

 

[awavey]

That was unlucky, bike just seemed to kick up off a cobble

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Lets go Puck!!

 

[awavey]

Go Cat !!!

 

[Didinho]

Cat impressive once again. After Roubaix she’s also doing Brabantse and Flèche.

 

[Didinho]

Wiebes looks over and out. As expected.

Paternoster looking way better than previous races. I’m happy to see her like this. Hope she can get another top 10 here. Or even podium/win if it’s a sprint after the long headwind.

 

[KoopaCycling]

I feel kopecky will win this, cause she usually is very good at playing poker.
Also this once again proves that most of the time riders won't be able to pay you back for previous races. Wiebes won't be able to do anything for Kopecky. Just like Laporte has never been able to give back to Van Aert. Monument racing remains different from other races and stage races.

 

[SafeBet]

Paternoster looking good today.
