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

[Boehmand]

I dont know where Pedersen was, but WVA was clearly behind entering the Molenberg.

He was around 10th, but lost ground on the climb

 

[E_F_]

My GED Mads not taking any turns, I absolutely love to see it

Yup, I think I wasn’t quite back to the couch from the WC and missed that…😜

 

[Boehmand]

Peloton not coming back here

Yes and no

There are still people from the peloton who can make top 10, because a lot are going to drop off the favourites group

But for the win, you are absolutely right

 

[Ilmaestro99]

SHAME ON YOU BORA RED BULL HANDSGROHE.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I don’t care what people say, I want Wout to wheel suck and win this thing. Wins > “honor”

 

[Boehmand]

Jambaljamts back in picture! Getting caught by the peloton.

 

[dobrien]

Eyes on the road kid! 😳

 

[No Excuses]

Red Bull making pace. I would only do that, if Remco feels really strong

 

[Red Rick]

Red Bull already showing the tactics of "Evenepoel is just there to get clapped by Pogacar and pat himself on the back afterwards"

SHAME ON YOU BORA RED BULL HANDSGROHE.

For them it makes sense to get rid of the peloton, positioning for Remco will be much easier.

 

[Flamin]

No one in the break and only Stuyven in the favourites group. What a massive disappointment again is SOQ.

For them it makes sense to get rid of the peloton, positioning for Remco will be much easier.

They got it perfectly fine every previous time.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Lol Peloton aint even co-operating enough to sit on the wheel of the guys pacing.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You know it's bad when even the Flemish commentators are questioning why so many people are cooperating.

This. Remco I think benefits a lot from the race being thinned out early.

edit: but agree they should not be doing Pogs work for him…

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Van Dijke should attack to make Vermeersch chase.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

At least Remco and Van der Poel aren‘t working anymore, but still they‘re just setting it up for Pogačar by not attacking him

MVDP has stopped taking pulls after the first few.

 

[red_flanders]

I did not have “Remco with consistently good positioning” on my Ronde bingo card…

 

[Didinho]

Koppenberg is wet. At least positioning won’t be a big problem now.

 

[Salvarani]

Gogl being there is both impressive and unexpected

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

They got it perfectly fine every previous time.

There is no guarantee that this will always work later in the race. I mean okay they can not pull, get the peloton back, have more chaos again etc. But what help would that be? It's not that they are bringing back anyone Pogacar would have to chase.

 

[MJR]

Get off the damn front, Wout!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Now everyone is working again, why?
