[Savant12]

Too cocky with his own bike handling skills.

Re:

Why was he with his hand up while trying to maneuver with the other? broken bike?

broken rim. it was stupid to raise the hand before fullstop though

Re:

Yep, he forgot he is not riding his cross bike

 

[benzwire]

It looked like it was a loose stem or something. The front wheel just buckled under him. Glad he didn't break a collarbone.

He jumped over that obstacle, got a puncture, raised his hand,rode into a small hole and then his wheel just cracked, seems like.

Re: Re:

Jesus Christ that could’ve been so much worse, expert handling

no it wasn't, it was his stupid riding over bushed that caused it

Yeah, he was too confident in his handling.

He’s back now though!

VAN DER POEL? :O

WTF? :O

 

[jaylew]

He's back in the group. Hopefully he can get back to the front before there's a split

 

[Salvarani]

He is fighting on at least

He's back? Hardly. And it will have cost him.

 

[Kafviar]

Thought his race was over after that crash ;o

 

[rick james]

some effort from him to get back on

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Good move by Vanmarcke and SVDB

 

[TourOfSardinia]

a Van + Van move

 

[Screecher]

Even the best bike handler can make a mistake. He'll learn.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vanmarcke getting in form for next week.

 

[Jancouver]

Sep & Stijn LOL

It would be epic if those two losers would make it alone to the finish

it basically is. at least result-wise.

How is SVDB a loser? He's always been a domestique, and a rather good one at that.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

I wonder if Asgreen ever gets tired?

 

[jaylew]

MVP still has a way to go to get back to the front

 

[DFA123]

Matthews looks really strong

 

[Valv.Piti]

Asgreen the strongest in Flanders today lmao..

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Asgreen is ready to move up in the pecking order. Has done loads of work today.
