Bit foggy in the morning, sunny later. Also some chance of rain later. Max temp of around 15C and NW wind of 2/3bft.

Seems like generally quite a nice day to go for a ride.

The pre-race show on Sporza has started. Hopefully we will get live pictures from the start at 10:30.

Goddamnit, it happened so often this season and now when we get a broadcast they make it boring as fuck. Nothing happening until <100km to go now.

Watching the riders ride through Antwerp makes me realize how much more attractive Bruges is

These team car cams are nice. I hope we get some spicy stuff from them when the race heats up.

I hope break ends up with 25 minutes because all big teams are bluffing, and then we get some crazy racing while the peloton tries to catch the break. On the line the break will be just ahead.

Please make it happen.

No worries. Benoot will win anyway

>>74996867
Pretty much. It's so you can have a pretty kitchen to show off in instagram and magazines. And because it's shown off in lifestyle magazines every rich cunts trophy wife absolutely needs one in their kitchen so that they can show off to their trophy wife friends who in turn need one to not seem like a poorfag. And then poorfags need one to not seem like poorfags because all the rich cunts have one and if the rich cunts have one you certainly can't be a poorfag if you've got one.

It's a genius business idea desu.

Bjarne Riis Bjarne Riis Bjarne Riis I'm so fucking tired of him.
Our media is still obsessed. Keep using him as a pundit when we have so many guys who are much better and they keep promoting his projects and teams.

>Freddy Maertens punctured on the Koppenberg and was given a wheel by a spectator who pushed him all the way up. De Vlaeminck broke clear on the Koppenberg in pursuit of Merckx, but punctured shortly after and was caught by a returning Maertens. After the Taaienberg a three-man group with Belgian cycling icons De Vlaeminck, Maertens and Merckx was ahead of the peloton.[2]

>On the Varent climb, 70 km from the finish, a faltering Merckx was distanced by his companions and would not finish the race, spelling the end of his career. De Vlaeminck suddenly refused to work and cameras registered the two arguing. For the remaining 70 km Freddy Maertens rode to the finish with De Vlaeminck on his wheel and was easily beaten by the latter in the sprint. It was De Vlaeminck's first and only win in the classic. At two minutes, Walter Planckaert won the sprint for third place.[2]

...
>During the podium ceremony, De Vlaeminck was booed off stage by angry spectators who were displeased with his "cowardly" ride.[2] The two protagonists made contradictory statements about what happened. Maertens stated that the judges had told him during the race he would be disqualified for his illegal wheel-change on the Koppenberg and that De Vlaeminck had offered him 300.000 francs to keep riding to the finish.[4] De Vlaeminck denied, saying that he tactically stayed on Maertens' wheel for 70 km, as he considered Maertens the better sprinter.[4]

it's because nobody can fake it. on mountains and hills you're very rarely sure if people are going 100%, or if they're tricking the other riders.

on cobbles, when someone attacks there's nothing you can do but try.

especially with the muur being quite some way of the next hellingen

>>74997948
Riders' choice often prevails in races like these.

What the fuck is going on...

This is a happening isn't it?

>>74998034
its happening

we /women/ now

they are actually getting away

fucking wew
now this is bikeracing

Can anyone give me a quick rundown? Is Van Avermaet left behind?

Not fucking womans race. C'mon ...

>>74998048
Seems to be in the third chase group

This is important.

>>74998048
way behind.

group 1: gilbert, boonen, vanmarcke, rowe, stuyven among others
group 2: sagan among others
group 3: van avermaet among others

>>74998048
no gva and sagan, almost everyone else is in there

>win a sprint
>cry

what the fuck is wrong with women?

I do not understand why the Bora rider from Boonens group didn't drop from the group to help Sagan when he was chasing...

Pulling for Coquard boys

>>74998087
She's recognizing that she's doing all of this for less money than she'd make if she worked at a McDonalds

>>74998055
sexist pig

>>74998090
better play safe and have somene up there
or they are confident of him making it back and want him to conserve energy

>>74998090
he wasn't riding, he was slowing down the front group

>40 seconds
yeah they are most likely gone for good

>>74998090
free passage in the front group, won't have to work, can easily drop back later to pull sagan

>>74998090
>>74998090
So he can just stay on everyone's wheels and slow them because nobody rides at 100% when someone is not working in the group.
Just like Terpstra did the other day but if it's Sagan's teammate it's ok for him.

>>74998129
82km to go though, this is racing like we are not very familiar with.

>>74998106
But there was a moment when Sagan was like 5s behind chasing alone and Bodnar was in Boonens group looking behind but doing nothing.

Sagan and GVA both very lucky that the other also missed the split

>tom steels

>>74998131
>>74998133
see
>>74998149

>>74998149
i don't think it was sagan
and having bodnar up there is not the worst rider to be in that place if he can save himelf for later

These madmen are going to do this, just watch

1min gap now

No way are quick step going to give this away. They've got a great situation, and 2 classics specialists who can finish this

quick step is still not going to convert this into a win though and we all full well know it

>>74998174
its like you dont know Quickstep

>>74998174
Hoping for a cheeky Boonen win desu

>>74998174
>No way are quick step going to give this away

I think I know the ending of this one...

>>74998174
>No way Quick Step is going to give this away
How many times have you told that to yourself?

>>74998174

This. And it's not like this is G-W when there is an almost guaranteed bunch sprint.

>>74998150
They both also massively dropped the ball by not being in position on the Muur.

This break is going to the end and there's nothing BMC or Bora can do about it.

>>74998174
>implying quick-choke won't pull it all the way to finish only for someone else to win

woke up at 3
still around 80 km
quickstep doing good

>am i awake

This will be the greatest Quickstep fuck up yet.

I think I might actually cry if Gilbert wins this.

>>74998191
>Implying hes going to beat Kristoff in a sprint

They gotta aim for Gilbert to attack over the final climb, but they probably wont, because they are Quickstep.

Remember when Boonen was about to win his 5th Paris-Roubaix last year, and was beaten by Hayman in a sprint in the velodrome?

>>74998250
I almost cried

>>74998250
Never forget

>>74998250
one of the best races in modern history

>>74998250
Please don't remind me

>>74998250
I don't particularly hate Boonen but I absolutely love that result and the fact that I got to watch that race in full

Take 100% care of John, but let BMC & Bora do all the chasing.

front group starting to argue

>>74998280
theyve got stuyven in the front though, BMC and Bora aint got shit.

>>74998290
Oh, i missed that. My bad.

>>74998290
Stuyven is not working at all up front. Will be dangerous.

Gonna get dropped.

This is gonna be good.

If these absolute madmen can hold that 1min advantage for just 20 kilometers more I don't know what is going to happen

I think some guys on the front will get dropped and then a supergroup will break from the peleton and catch the smaller group in front

>barely and BMC or Bora work in the peloton
it's like they don't want to come back

elaborately riggged race to let tommeke win one last time
:^)

who /bmc/ here?

>>74998322
its crazy how early this selection was made, things are very unpredictable now.

Peloton moving nicely now. They will get back

>>74998333
no one was really expecting it, and many where caught with their pants down

>>74998332

>>74998343

Good afternoon, lads.
Just woke up, anyone cares to give a quick run down on happenings?

they're going to fuck it up aren't they

Looks like Boonen is working for based Gilbert

Is Quickstep actually doing something intelligent for once?

at the muur an unexpected split happens 90k form the finish
quick step the main team in there with gilbert and boonen+helper, no sagan or gva
the group is riding strongly and keeping the peloton back

>>74998394
Cool

Did you not watch MSR, DDV, E3, or DePanne?

>>74998381
>implying you can keep white tape 100% pristine after several thousand miles

Frame is properly sized, don't by into the pro sizing-down framesize meme lad

They'll probably take them just at the bottom of the Oude Kwaremont, then Sagan & co will try to jump to the front

Oh, now I get it. You're old. Forget my comment on sizing, grandpa. I take it back. I think it's great that you're staying in shape at your age. It'll make your golden years so much more rewarding.

They should just wait for the peloton and try to recuperate.

Is Gilbert an absolute madman?

PHIL GIL!

>>74998556
That is no problem for Fast Phil.

what a fucking race

Gilbert riding for team black-yellow-red completely blowing Quick Step out

>>74998548
Only if you post the pictures on the internet with the implications that it's your bike.

Holy fuck how strong is Gilbert, and why would he attack this soon if he is that strong?

wie /maarten en herbert/ hier

>>74998562
ZAL HET GAAN JA ?

>>74998570
What is his endgame? 50 Km solo?

Come on now, I'll eat my words but a 50km solo in this day and age, just not gonna happen

>>74998585
it seem that way

>>74998579
desperation, this is a full retard move that won't last for more than 15 km

What did he mean by this?
