Strade Bianche 2023, March 4, one-day classic (men's & women's)

and after the commercials... bettiol down, bilbo chasing the front three and MVP back in the bunch...
f-k you eurosport!

 

[DNP-Old]

Van der Poel looks terrible. Another misfiring for Wout.

 

[titan31]

This time gap is all over the place surely or else Pidock has been replaced with Pogacar

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Has to be said that you'd expect Van der Poel to have teammates here. Gogl, Vermeersch and Stannard are all capable of better than they've done today, much like Van der Poel himself.

 

[DNP-Old]

Rectification: Van der Poel does not look terrible. He looks freaking horrific.

 

[Netserk]

With this composition of the chase group, I think they’ll catch Pidcock.

 

[Salvarani]

Chasing group 3 was before group 2 for a while there

 

[Savant12]

Win there for the taking...with a sub-par MVDP in the race.

 

[postmanhat]

MVDP starting his road season like his CX this year? Not necessarily a bad thing if so.

 

[Mayomaniac]

If Pidcock wins this one Blythe's gonna make a Froome-related Kirbygasm sound like calm, neutral commentary, just saying.

 

[glassmoon]

and another commercial... it's been 5 minutes since the last one ffs

 

[titan31]

Time gap changed again. That's looks more correct. Had no idea how Pidcock was gaining time when everyone was going fully out behind.

yup, suck now = rvv & pr double incoming.

 

[Ricco']

Alpecin must have been playing chess and drinking coffee in their training camps this year.

No commercials on Sporza.

 

[Didinho]

Still not counting out Mathieu. But it doesn't look good for now. The other favourites are in group 2, maybe the attack prior was a bit to much to follow.

 

[Netserk]

When the Mohoric group get up to the chasing trio, the race will be definitely over for those behind.

 

[topcat]

MVDP favourite for MSR. Obviously not peaking too early. Because of a thing called science.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

No commercials on Sporza.

Or GCN

 

[Didinho]

MVDP favourite for MSR. Obviously not peaking too early. Because of a thing called science.

Also his first race, in the past it was always guessing how he would be. But mostly bad days the first one. Needs some hard racing to get better.

 

[Potomac]

Who are the GCN commentators?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

MVDP favourite for MSR. Obviously not peaking too early. Because of a thing called science.

JA will win De Ronde

 

[Billie]

Where is Sheffield? He's not in chasing group?

 

[Samamba]

I wanna have Romains Gregoires babys

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Or GCN

He's Dutch and Sporza is free.
