Ronde van Vlaanderen 2026, monument, April 5 (men's)

Thanks for lettting me know. After MSR the only thing I was looking forward to at De Ronde was to see whether Pog would wait for his formulaic attack on the last Kwaremont or he would try and succeed somewhere else before. Now I can add to that the performances of Remco and that Mongolian dude. I'm thrilled.

You gotta find joy in the little things mate

@Ilmaestro99 thoughts on pozzato ranking Wout first?

No surprises there. It's nice that pippo supports his Belgian protege

I never watch the sport with English commentary.

For the longest time I have seen people complain on here about the commentary of "Carlton" and "Kirby" - and just now realised they were not unhappy with two different commentators - it was all the same dude

"Dat is inderdaad erg constructieve feedback": how are we anglophones expected to make anything of that?

Voted Pogi, but would really love to see Wout Van Aert or an outsider win. I really miss those days when a Devolder, Nuyens, Zaugg, Ciolek would win a monument. These days it's always the strongest rider who wins, it's alaways the same names, and not much fun in it.

You know those times if you are looking at something and it is a little bit fuzzy, but if you squint your eyes it comes into focus?

When listening to Flemish or Dutsch, English speakers just need to squint their ears a bit and they can understand it.

How do you squint your ears?

Eurosport currently showing a re-run of least year's edition, I am afraid we will see exactly the same pictures tomorrow: the same World Champion jersey riding alone into the sunset, the same attack on the Kwaremont, the same group struggling to chase behind, and so on... A change cannot come soon enough
I would love to see Remco show something interesting in the pointy end of the race, but I am starting to lose faith, the guy seems to regress year after year, sadly.
