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

The thing is, they're going into a headwind. You'd think the group would have an advantage here. But they can't make up any ground on either Pog or VdP.

 

[Didinho]

Next year Remco vs Pogi.
Although I'm thinking that mechanical issue cost him the 10sec on the Kwaremont. Or the echelon in he beginning. But Pogi was just a bit stronger, worked for it and went solo. What a phenom!

MVDP did what he could with his team basically fulfilling the plot of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

So which Alpecin rider turned into a giant blueberry? I must have missed that in all the excitement

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Imagine how strong would Pogacar be if he didn't have to ride a colnago

LOL, I see what you did there.

 

[Scarponi]

Pogacar probably is less
Likely to ever win the Giro/Veulta with the way his season works. Would he ever give up the tour and classics for the Giro?

No one is willing to do more effort. It’s a race for the podium, expect attacks in the end.

The strongest rider is the first one on the road, this late into the race.

"Boonen wouldnt get slapped around by Pogacar in RVV"

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Well done Pog, another 4 of these then your at Remco's level.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I love that Pog has brought back the age of a rider who races to win everything. The stupidity of riders like Armstrong and others, just racing for the Tour is over, with Pog. He wants to eat everything and everyone. Chapeau!!

 

[Scarponi]

History suggests that anyone that good that young is on the decline by 31, he should start sooner if he really wants all 5 IMO.

100% agree was thinking maybe some new young gun destroys him high mountains TDF. Might even try Giro by then like Froome did

 

[Salvarani]

What an incredible edition won by a legendary rider!

"Boonen wouldnt get slapped around by Pogacar in RVV"

Let alone on the Ronde route of Boonen's heyday. Muur is even better than Kwaremont for Pogacar, I think.

 

[cen]

Imagine if Pogiboi was not riding on a Colnago, getting that extra 2km/h.. or so I heared.

 

[Poursuivant]

Special race won by a special rider.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is the day that marks Pogacar being able to retire as a legend of the sport with his existing palmares. Historic day.

 

[jaylew]

Mathieu 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd so we know what happens next year.

 

[Didinho]

Wout lost his sprint again after 250km.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Amazing, and still only a lad!

 

[Andy262]

Chapeau Tadej, absolutely tremendous

 

[DNP-Old]

Wout van Choke strikes once more.

 

[KZD]

Pedresen still beating Van Aert in the sprint for third. Disaster for Jumbo.

 

[Red Rick]

Let alone on the Ronde route of Boonen's heyday. Muur is even better than Kwaremont for Pogacar, I think.

Boonen got clapped by Contador on de Muur in Eneco lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I take back what I said about Wright being dangerous in a sprint.

 

[Eshnar]

Best Flanders in years
