Re: Re:

Lampaert wearing his team's No1 jersey. Do they really think other teams will believe that he is DQS's main man for the day? Or a double bluff? Or a token of respect for Belgian Champ's jersey?

Double bluff. Lampaert will attack and the big names won't react, because he's only their fourth man.

You heard it here first.

Lotto now dropping the hammer in the peloton, the big break might very well get caught.

Re:

Lotto not liking Wellens missing the split.

I just heard Wellens was the only Lotto Soudal in the front group.

Strange that they left it so long. It would have been much easier to close the gap earlier.

 

[Pharazon]

are there more disappointing WT teams than Dimension Data and Katusha Apecin?

A Jumbo is trying to bridge

Probably rather Keuekeleire

Nice bunny hopping in the lead group

It took them 5 minutes to realize that one of their two main guys was still in the 2nd group.

 

[MartinGT]

Any news on Terpstra?

For the danes out there:

Cykel Cille is in a 3 person break with 13 K to go - in the womens race - well worth the channel switch

Benoot is in the front group (well, chasing group) and Wellens is in the peloton.

 

[Flamin]

Great for the race that so many domestiques are dropped. Crazy racing going on.

 

[MartinGT]

I think its Benoot in the front for Lotto?

 

[Laplaz]

Sagan in 3rd group now

 

[MartinGT]

Wow it's all split all over!

I really hope they interview her if she makes the podium.
Or just gets top-5...

BTW, my little "bet" does not count for the women's race!

What bet?

Problem is - Cille can't sprint - at all

Van Poppel... parked

The "I'll ride Ringaden - in Århus - if there's a Dane in the top-5" bet.
And given how she reacted upon getting fourth at la Course, I'd like to see how she'd react to just podiuming at Flanders.

 

[jaylew]

Cort gone

Oliveira taken out of the race for not following safety protocol??

 

[Salvarani]
