Three days of de Panne - 29th to 31st March

[Jamsque]

Assan Bazayev has taken a flyer from the chase group, Steegmans gives chase.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Grivko was the one to attack. If/when the bunches come together, are there two Vaconsoleil and RS riders? any other pairs?

EDIT: Maybe they won't come together, that middle quartet isn't moving away like they were. FDJ on a hard chase from the peloton

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Very hectic race

 

[Parrulo]

does any1 has an english stream?

 

[roundabout]

who is in which group?

doesn't really matter, it will be compatto soon

also OPL has 2

 

[Jamsque]

FDJ are pulling it all back together.

Does DD have any commentary (in any language) with it? If it does, I can't get the damn sound to work.

Edited to add: I am a moron. Clicking actually on the speaker symbol turned the sound on!

Ive done it before, youre not the only one.

perfect! I hope that Gusev is tired enough now

 

[Ferminal]

Massive work by FdJ... All coming back together it seems, G2 almost gobbled and G1 only 30s ahead.

 

[Jamsque]

Lead Group of 15
Chase of Steegmans and one other at 21 seconds
Peloton at 45 seconds

 

[TeoSheva]

FDJ has some good fast-men like Chainel, Rollin, Hutarovich and Bonnet

 

[Jamsque]

Lieuw Westra is the rider in the gap with Steegmans. Those two are burning a lot of gas for not much gain.

Steegmans and Westra

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Maybe not... peloton looked pretty lax going through the checkpoint 45 seconds down.

I might just be getting myself hyped up to pass this dull tuesday morning though...

Thanks for that. I've been wrong because I thought that Steegmans group was G1.

they are slowly getting there, the front group isn't working really well together

 

[Jamsque]

BMC have no-one in the move, I realise. They need to put some work in.

 

[Moondance]

Westra copping a feel

 

[Jamsque]

Stiggers and Westra are still in the gap but nearly there now.

The peloton has slowed down a lot, they are haemorrhaging time to the break.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Westra is really strong, Steegmans couldn't take over for a few minutes after Westra did a huge turn.

 

[The Hitch]

That Spanish stream? Does it exist?

Cheers.

 

[Moondance]

Westra straight to the front.... What a man.

 

[Jamsque]

So! 13 riders, 38km, 1'30". The peloton could certainly bring this back if they get organised, but I can't see who will chase besides BMC.
