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

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

At least Jumbo doesn’t have Van Hooydonck riding now.

 

[Breezy1985]

It's good that UK viewer have cutting edge analysis from Adam blythe

Sadly the more qualified English speaking riders to talk about the classics aren't as pretty looking so we are stuck with Blythe.

 

[noob]

Was Ballerini not allowed to quit?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Trentin is looking like one of the strongest in that group, but perhaps ge should sandbag a bit more.

Jumbo can't be too happy with such a dangerous group 2min ahead with only Haydonkey in it.

 

[Didinho]

Quickstep team of the day so far.

 

[Aimar16]

MvdP ready to go

 

[Red Rick]

Roadblock FC is back baby

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This guy won the race 2 years ago and they just give him 2 minutes with a teammate. Interesting

 

[Mayomaniac]

Wtf Politt?!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Politt attacking behind? For what reason?

 

[Breezy1985]

Quickstep team of the day so far.

About time for them. Outside of Paddy's fat mouth flapping they have done nothing of note in a while now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Politt has to be the dumbest rider in the peloton tactics-wise.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Politt is a strong rider, but he's ridden a tactically questionable campaign to say the least.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Classic Politt move that will stall halfway across the gap.

 

[Filippo_3467]

Politt attacking behind? For what reason?

I think it's ok. What should he do otherwise? Can't follow the big guns couldn't jump with the move because he was isolated. Just try if you can get a group together if not give up and rest for Roubaix.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Trentin on a good day is a top 10 candidate. So if he joins an elite group that increases his chances further. I think current he's one of the 3 best riders in that group so it's actually a very good move. Same chance of winning as Pogacar vs vdp and wva.

Haha, just no. Pogacar winning chances is A LOT higher than Trentin winning from this all star break.

 

[noob]

Let's cheer for Fred Wright

 

[Tim Cahill]

Poor Silvan Dillier looks like someone's broken into his house and pis*ed on his kids on Christmas day.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Let's cheer for Fred Wright

I'm actually surprised Jumbo aren't chasing down a group with him in it.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Politt attacking behind? For what reason?

He missed the move that was his best chance , his race is pretty much over so why don't go out with a bang?

 

[postmanhat]

Is Kristoff still in the peleton?

 

[KOM]

3 things are cerain in life

1. death
2. taxes
3. Vanmarcke at the back of the Peleton with some problem towards the pointy end of a nothern classics race

 

[Didinho]

Without Dillier this was already over. This was the scenario I was stressed about this week. Will be even more tactical in Roubaix.

 

[Didinho]

Girmay down.

 

[Filippo_3467]

What is now the plan for jumbo? They can't be to pleased with the situation? There are a handful better rider in front then nathan.
