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

[DNP-Old]

Trentin has looked quite strong today, but I can’t explain what Jumbo is doing.

Wout is hurt I presume.

 

[nightowl]

They’re really going to give them 3 minutes? Guess UAE and Jumbo were lying about targeting this race

 

[Aimar16]

Surprised by the comments being mostly positive. I thought he'd get slandered. Guess people appreciate that he's owning his mistake.

I guess only Maciejuk fans follow Maciejuk on social media

 

[Red Rick]

Jumbo only makes sense if Van Aert is affected by his crash and they're just in for NvH

 

[glassmoon]

You said "looks like girmays fault".

so?

 

[Salvarani]

so?

Great attitude.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Wout is hurt I presume.

That’s what I guess but if he isn’t then there’s no explanation.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

As some expected strong guys (but not Big3) attacked earlier and have a substantial gap of over 2 minutes with 60+ km to go. Difficult situation for guys from the peleton - most teams have their guy in the breakaway and seem satisfied with this situation (not MVP though). The race winner could be in this front group unless a carnage begins on Oude Kwaremont.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The way jumbo have been looking this season, Van hoojdonck will ride away on Kwaremont and win the race. But I would enjoy a rabofail

 

[Volderke]

3:11 64km.
Strange things can happen.
Let’s pray for strange things to happen…!

 

[DNP-Old]

It is STILL Dillier doing the work, while Vermeersch is having a chat on the left side of the road. Circus Alpecin.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I'm surprised Jumbo haven't drilled it all the way to the Oude Kwaremont. With a smaller gap Pog and WVA could've sat on VDP and made him do most of the work to get to the front. Now they'll all have to give it everything if they want to win.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hilarious scenes, why not give that Pereiro kid 30 minutes, he's useless.

 

[glassmoon]

Great attitude.

it looked that way... calm down ffs

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jumbo haven't actually won a monument since Alaphilippe handed Roglic Liège on a silver platter. Today, we're seeing why. They immediately fumble the bag when the classics are at their biggest.

 

[Didinho]

UAE and/or Jumbo shouldn't have let this gap so big with Trentin and Van Hooydonck. Keep it at a minute and see if they can follow in front. If they get dropped now uphill, you're 3min behind with Pogi.

 

[Tommy Gun]

The anticipated showdown between the "Big 3" won't happen after all... This serves them right! Very open race for the front group right now!

 

[Filippo_3467]

Btw what is DSm doing today? They had tried this split but then completely given up on going with moves

 

[Salvarani]

it looked that way... calm down ffs

No it didnt. Im very calm. Maybe take your own advice...

 

[Samamba]

Btw what is DSm doing today? They had tried this split but then completely given up on going with moves

They are just a bad team that thought they were funny earlier.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Where is Alpecin?

 

[Breezy1985]

The whole Harrogate WC podium on the attack, that's also a nice touch.

Not Harrogate weather at least.

Christ I cant believe as a Limerick person I have stood through my fair share of soaking wet days but nothing prepared me for that. I could barely see with the rain streaming down my eyes

 

[tobydawq]

Jumbo saving a lot of riders to be dropped in five kilometers.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Wout is hurt. Only explanation.

UAE are clueless.

And Alpecin is as clueless as UAE, and don't have the manpower mainly cause of Mathieu early antics.

Go next race.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Looks like a lot of the predictions will go out the window
