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

[Andy262]

Gloves off!

 

[dobrien]

Off with the gloves, it’s showtime!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I wonder what advice Van der Poel gets from his DS

 

[Sciatic]

Ha! Literally, the gloves are coming off!

 

[AmRacer]

3 world champs and Wout

 

[No Excuses]

pogacar is confident he can win it on Kwaremont, not going 100% right now. Because he knows MDVP will work with him it useful not to drop him yet.

If i were him, i would have attacked

 

[Devil's Elbow]

3 world champs and Wout

Four world champs, actually.

I wonder what advice Van der Poel gets from his DS

Apparently pull from the front 😂

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

At least Pogacar isn't a "no gloves fuckboy"

word

 

[KoopaCycling]

What is MVPD doing last 5 km...

 

[yaf2]

Vdp, a dead man walking

 

[The bald fraud]

Four world champs, actually.

And a perennial vice-champion

 

[AmRacer]

Mathieu pulling, Remco gains on them
Pogi pulling, bye bye Remco

 

[canina82]

Now imagine Pogi winning and then get a DSQ. Forum would crash

 

[Andy262]

Fair play to Remco, he’s added alot to the race. A great debut.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Should be looking at how Pidcock rode the part before the Poggio here

 

[No Excuses]

Aero bullet still in the game

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Now imagine Pogi winning and then get a DSQ. Forum would crash

DSQing him now is way worse than both DSQing him ASAP and not DSQing him at all, given how much he's impacted the race already and given that there is zero reason to wait this long.

 

[Sciatic]

Fair play to Remco, he’s added alot to the race. A great debut.

Agreed, and his chasing adds an extra dynamic to the race, even though it won't be enough to win this year.

 

[dobrien]

Now imagine Pogi winning and then get a DSQ. Forum would crash

No, Pogi drops Mathieu, Mathieu blows up, Remco passes Mathieu, Pogi is DSQ, and Belgium has a Flanders champion, THAT would crash the forum! 🤣

 

[Salvarani]

No, Pogi drops Mathieu, Mathieu blows up, Remco passes Mathieu, Pogi is DSQ, and Belgium has a Flanders champion, THAT would crash the forum! 🤣

Remco went over too

So MVDP wins

 

[Tim Cahill]

In the event Pogacar can't drop him on the last climbs then Evenepoel being behind becomes his advantage if he chose to use it.

 

[dazaau]

I can't help but think mvdp's best play was to let remco back.

 

[KoopaCycling]

moto's may have made the difference again, when will they learn

 

[AmRacer]

Remco goes as fast as he can, the two in the front toying around.
