Ronde van Vlaanderen - Tour des Flandres 2023, one day monument, April 2 (men's)

[Didinho]

Mathieu finally awake.

 

[MartinGT]

Don't know if WVA is hurt but he looks a bit naive in this race.

Why?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Aert is just riding conservative, change in strategy when VDP and Pogacar are there, probably the right thing to do as he's not wasted anything all day.

 

[Monte Serra]

UAE taking charge. Haven't seen Jumbo much leading the peloton.

 

[Didinho]

Molenberg. Let's start this race.

 

[Didinho]

Biniam, ironically haven't seen him all day.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

EF trying to push it at the front.

Maybe you're right

 

[MartinGT]

The peloton is tiny, like a scene out of Platoon out there

 

[glassmoon]

Mathieu finally awake.

just in time

 

[MartinGT]

Trentin looking good here.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Trentin hasn't looked this strong in ages.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Racing !!!!!

 

[MartinGT]

Trentin hasn't looked this strong in ages.

He's got diamond's in the legs </Blythe>

 

[limak_]

Feels like 2021

 

[DNP-Old]

This is a gorgeous group to go forward.

 

[MartinGT]

I like this group!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Okay, things starting to work themselves out.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That looks like the right combination of strong riders to get a proper gap, Asgreen looked pretty classy in that move.

 

[noob]

Suddenly my commentators asking where is Pidcock. I had started thinking he was not in this race.

 

[Didinho]

Movistar working like the big cobbles team they are.

 

[Peyroteo94]

This group is very strong. Pure engines and fast men

 

[Salvarani]

Good group

 

[dobrien]

That looks like the right combination of strong riders to get a proper gap, Asgreen looked pretty classy in that move.

The crashes earlier have really changed the dynamic; we're in for a bit of a changed script today I think!! Powless looking good.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

It's good to see quickstep in attacking position instead of chasing. Both Melier and Asgreen in groups at the front is good for them
