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

[Eddy Evenepoel]

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

Van der Poel was just at the front pulling.

Van aert and perdersen will never learn.

 

[dobrien]

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

He and his team have done a marvelous job so far setting him up for the finale.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Why is Pog wearing an ascot?

 

[jono]

Nobody is hurting themselves with these 3 second through-and-off pulls.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Rain

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nobody is hurting themselves with these 3 second through-and-off pulls.

But you can and should make Vermeersch empty himself here. Then try to anticipate the next Kwaremont.

 

[canina82]

Pouring rain

 

[Salvarani]

Raining a lot

 

[AmRacer]

Remco and Wout don't pull

 

[nightowl]

All playing out rather well for Remco it has to be said - won't have to worry about positioning at this rate.

Pog doesn't look 100% convincing to me, but maybe I'm imagining things.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Finally Flandrian weather.

 

[Rou]

Lovely miserable weather.
Let the best man win.

Van aert and perdersen will never learn.

What's Mads doing?

 

[jono]

Is Gogl actually in the group? I don't see another Alpecin jersey.

 

[dobrien]

Some Flanders weather!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Rain

Lot's or rain.

 

[Boehmand]

Man, when it starts raining like this, I SO wish Pedersen was in shape - it's "Pedersen weather"

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I bet he-who-shall-not-be-named cannot believe his luck here. He's got Laporte and Magnus Sheffeld doing domestique work for him and now is raining.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Right, hopefully no mudslides on the Koppenberg

 

[TheKidsCallMeBoss]

How long can Sheffield stay on the bike in the rain?

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

has pog done a wet flanders? am i just hoping that this will play into cx riders hands on the koppenberg?

I mean pog could be on his own by then anyway

 

[E_F_]

Right, hopefully no mudslides on the Koppenberg

Well...

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Sainbayar leading over the Kwaremont.

Genghis Khan never reached the Kwaremont.

Does Pog need to look convincing? Isn't his very presence more than enough? Has he ever not been good 😂
