Once again i have done zero research about the wind and comes to the weather forecasters here. Can we expect echelons today good sirs?

It's a possible scenario. But let's hope none of the favorits have a flat. That would be disastrous for the victim.Tomorrow, Mathieu and Tadej leaves the Peloton in the dust. 😅
Mathieu help Tadej Merckx to gain minutes and Tadej let Mathieu having the stage.
Epic.
Pogacar can just say to Van der Poel he wont show up to the Flandern next year if you ride for me today, if that was the case Van der Poel can already win the flandern next year on tomorrow stageIt's a possible scenario. But let's hope none of the favorits have a flat. That would be disastrous for the victim.
Interesting. He's still has a line on DK book, but Fanduel quickly pulled his action. Shame to lose a competitive, interesting rider like Mads.
Van Aert winning the bunch sprint or Poels winning from the break. I'm happy with either resultThat uphill finish will make it interesting. This might have been a good stage for Wout
No hope. There are at least 6 or 7 teams who will ride for a sprint finish.
Tell me who those 6 or 7 are?
Lotto and Intermarché yes. Trek obviously not anymore.
To be fair, the post was made before the unfortunate news regarding Pedersen.
Wouldn’t MVDP save strength for tomorrow?I just don't see Lotto and Intermarché being able to control this. No Trek with Pedersen out, Alpecin will try to get Van der Poel in the break I assume, Cofidis never helps, ... I think - given the weather also - that the break takes this one
Wouldn’t MVDP save strength for tomorrow?
EF for Van Den Berg would be my guessTell me who those 6 or 7 are?
Lotto and Intermarché yes. Trek obviously not anymore. Doubt Alpecin chooses a sprint with Philipsen over Van der Poel in the break in a stage like this. The only other teams that maybe could help are Cofidis for Coquard but it's Cofidis we're talking about and Jayco for Groenewegen.
EF for Van Den Berg would be my guess
I'm sorry but first week flat stage going to the breakaway when it's gonna be fast and nervous thanks to the wind with a headwind in the finale is just zero chance
It's EF so stupid is a fair assumption. But basically at the Giro Vaughters was saying their team would be based around Healy / Van Den Berg and said they were looking at a few specific stages for the latter. In which case today would surely be one of them. I actually think he would have a decent chance given that those you mention have been competing every day whereas VdB has been keeping his powder dryWould be stupid given how many good riders they have for a break. Van den Berg isn't beating De Lie, Girmay, Philipsen, etc.
Yeah, given his comments after the past two stages, he wouldn't be in contention for stage wins for a while, so it makes sense to focus on the OGRR.
Let’s face it. Stages like this the cannibal would have been the favorite. And he would have definitely raced to win it. Time concerns against specialists be damned!Pogi
