He's a dangerous criminal. Netserk wouldn't stand for this.

Trentin/Sheffield/Watson crash sounds pretty bad. Went completely unnoticed on TV

lol, hadn't realised. maybe cause i have seen him referred as MVP and subconsciously add the D as the last letter. Dunno. dumb mistake on my part.He asked why you write about Mathieu van per Doel
Will try to be more aware when i write it next.

here. I guess it would be possible to locate that building
Stuyven must have got up relatively quickly. But he was not on the timing for 3rd Kwarement, so probably took a spare bike.

The concrete concept of MVDP has to pay respect to the dynamism of his engine. This is indicated by moving letters.

That‘s probably on the Koppenberg descent, the last left hand turn before the right handers towards the National roadhere. I guess it would be possible to locate that building

It was a brutal, honest and predictable race. UAE made it even harder than last year by already breaking things up 103 km before the finish. On a tough course with aggressive racing the strongest guys end up in front.
Pogacar has now won four monuments in a row, which is unprecedented. MvdP could have played it more tactically by not doing turns, but that's not in his nature. Evenepoel did an impressive race for a debutant, and might become the next Belgian winner. Van Aert and Pedersen were once again the guys just behind the titans; for them it seems impossible to win a monument, in spite of their tenacity.
We're witnessing some of the strongest one-day racers of all time, and that should be treasured. The atmosphere was there again as well, with the crowd packed along the roads. The Tour of Flanders is always a special experience.

Yes, because they wanted the shot with the two in front and Evenepoel behind them. When the gap grew, the motorbikes moved away. And they came back, when he closed in once more. And so it continued until he ran out of gas.
Not that it would have changed the podium, but the motos remove the last piece of suspense in races like this.

Indeed! It's actually bad for television from a race excitement POV, maybe the producers understand that at some point as well. But my hopes aren't high.

Think we all got a bit too excited about van baarle tempoing his way to 10th place on an Algarve stage. Seems like he could do with those Visma coaches after all
RvV deserves a lot more than a predictable outcome. Masses of fans, everybodys favorite riders are involved, tough weather conditions just aren't enough. The race must have a level of race drama to offer good entertainment. Everybody expected Poggi to just ride away on Kwaremont and he did. Not much fun. Pretty dull.
Mathieu would do the same, hadn't Pogi showed up.
Make no msiatke, I think thats dull too. I am falling alseep when hes involved in CX races.
72% agree, but the other 28% told me to go to sleep when Pog dropped Mathieu, and that part won. Just watching the last 10K now.

I watched the race with someone who never watches cycling and that person told me the race was boring. The only exciting part being wether Remco would make it back or not to Pogacar and MVDP. Imagine if that person watched Strade Bianchi... . I was also asked why I was typing on my laptop every now and then instead of just watching the race.
I said at the end of last year, that this year would be the most boring year in cycling, ever. MSR was interesting, and the races Pog was not in, were better than expected when MVDP was there, but ultimately, this is boring horse manure for most fans. I hope next week, the harshness will make a better race. We can always hope for an ill-timed puncture, but save that, Pog will just drop everyone again, and regardless of Vingegaard's apparent improved form, over last year, Pog will crush him in July.
Yawn.

Pogačar got a yellow card, but it‘s pretty hard to get sanctioned through too many yellow cards.
