[Tim Cahill]

Thinderpoel stuffing his face with some lettuce and ozempic post-stage.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Masnada finished in the first peloton, @Ilmaestro99 dancing in the streets as we speak.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Only 10 riders beat European relay champion Mircey Moustri.

 

[johnymax]

We are not ready for Kelderman in rainbow.

 

[Didinho]

Good to see him bossing these harder uphill sprints again.

 

[Keldergoat]

Hahaha if that happens I'll run around Rotterdam in me shorts. Nothing beats Wilco's lead outs, where no one in the peloton is for sure whether it's a lead out or just him starting sprinting with that eninge of him. Oh boy how can you not love the GOAT?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Quite funny watching the 3 Visma rentbikers being perfectly positioned and then totally get blown away by MVDP sprint

Would just be rather worrisome if a guy who already has a habit of crashing were to fall under the Curse...

Great to see Van der Poel winning again after a difficult summer, despite not being the favourite he shouldn't be underestimated for the Worlds.

 

[ciranda]

I edited it, but it seems to have gone back. Whether that is the OP's preference or the forum software being odd I don't know. @ciranda ?

it was just a shout out to il maestro

 

[Bolder]

Hell of a ride of Skin Quimmons.

He’s really good at putting out a lot of watts for little reward.

 

[memyselfandI]

I have no idea why that travel guide spells it that way.

LEXicon of LuxENBOURG, no?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Today is Fausto's girlfriend's birthday. Unfortunately the stage looks too easy, but I hope he will try something

 

[Earns1985]

So who will control today?

Van der Poel has just two teammates left in the race.. could it be a stage for Pedersen?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Skejmose from trek crashed and abandoned the race already today.

Hopefully he stopped because he didn't want to take any risks for the WC

 

[staubsauger]

Interesting they clocked Laporte & Kron with the same time as Van Der Poel. There certainly was a 1 second gap between them.

Skjelmose was the main favorite to win the 2024 Tour de Luxembourg given his time trial.

Now the battle between Hirschi & Van der Poel is on. Alpecin doesn't have the team to defend the leader's jersey during the last stage towards Luxemburg however.

Maybe Lotto can get a lucky punch with Kron out of this!?

One some is bad enough, but several!

 

[Didinho]

Alpecin already down to 3 riders? And Mathieu riding for Trek today.

That might actually be a plan; just slot in behind the Trek guys, and see if they notice.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

28km left and breaway caught, maybe some attacks in the little climbs?

 

[RedheadDane]

Hagen on the attack.

Lidl getting their own back for having to be seen in a Carrefour in La Vuelta, and the recent race with Aldi logos all over the podium (was it Renewi?)
