These Amstels are making me thirsty! 2024 Women's Amstel Gold Race, April 14

[theyoungest]

I would have loved a Van Agt win, her famous grandfather (former PM of the Netherlands) died earlier this year and this would have been a great tribute. Also, I can't stand Yara Kastelijn, the Voeckler of the women's peloton.

But Marianne Vos is of course fine as well. Ouch for Lorena Wiebes though.

 

[Rob5091]

Oh deary dear. How embarrassing.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

She came from the side and faster than all the others, looked at her right so thought she was all alone in front, but should’ve stayed on the side.
But I would always sprint to the line, even do a bike throw if I’m 10m ahead to be sure.
In this headwind, strange do to it. Should be rule #1.

Yea, but Lol-rena Wiebes, amirite?

 

[pastronef]

Libertine is on a roll, I wasn't aware of these feelings towards Wiebes

Gåskjenn getting third after not doing much for a few years is quite a surprise.

The team was also shocked. It was a strange race.

 

[awavey]

wow Canyon Sram only managing a 10th from all that,

[pastronef]

happy for Gaskjenn, even though I hoped Pfeiffer Georgi could get another WT podium after Roubaix

 

[Nick2413]

That was a pretty egregious one, as far as early celebrations go.

Please, if someone ever makes a Gåskjenn thread, include these images.

Then she got kinda lost on her way onto the podium.

Next to her career in cycling Lorena Wiebes has been trying everything to get her brother back on track. He's a former coke addict who lived on the streets. So sorry if she doesn't correspond to your holy moral code, I don't think she gives a f.ck.

Those pictures of the team consoling Wiebes: I want to see the pictures of them giving her hell for throwing away what should have been the reward for their efforts.

If they know she didn't do it on purpose...

So, lots of her earnings goes to helping her brother?
That would explain why she'd be so eager to go to the highest paying team.

I don't think any rider gives a f.ck about what we fans blab on here, otherwise Froome would have had a constant meltdown from 2013 to 2019.
I also think Libertine talks about what Wiebes does in this sport, not outside of it

There is such a thing as recklessness, which also makes somebody culpable.

Everyone can make mistakes.

When it comes to SDW, Kopecky and Wiebes can do nothing right in LS' world, while Vollering is a saint who can do nothing wrong.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Everyone can make mistakes.

Yes, but those which are entirely unforced are less deserving of sympathy. Being professional is about minimising mistakes.

No need to give her hell either.

Those things are obviously related. Not to trolls on the internet, but in the real world they are.

I believe he's been on better track for a while now, so I doubt she's sharing all her earnings with him.

 

[Didinho]

Good to see Gasparrini with a 6th place.

Imagine being this wound up over recurring gag on an obscure internet forum.
