Well shit... I spaced out on this. I now have 2 kids and we were in Florida all week.

This is "kollac" speaking btw.

Just watching the replay. At least slugging back Belgian beers at 9pm is OK vs. doing the same before lunch:D

Also, who here wants to do a season-long pick'em series going from Het Nieuwsblad to Liege like we have done for 2015 and 2016? I need at least ten other participants before i'd organize it like I did previous years.

My personal picks:

Podium: Sagan, GvA, Vanmarcke
Wildcards: Benoot and Boonen


Holy Crap, I want your crystal ball!
Nice call
thanks :) still havent called a winner since 2015 Liege, I think

Amazing trio, not only held onto the lead, but stretched it! With a very tough chase group bearing down.

No tactics to analyze, GVA had the best legs. Game over.


Obviously most guys are coming off large training blocks (Sagan three weeks in the mountains) so not too much to glean. Sort of tacky to attack after the crash with 62 k's left. If Sagan can pull that much and still hang at the end after a huge training block he is going to be dangerous in a few weeks. You can always tell when guys have a lot of training fatigue, they just have no pop in their sprint. My guess is Sagan was truly using this as a training race, he was taking some massive pulls for no real reason. Even in the last few k's there was no reason to pull, the gap was close to a minute.
Agreed. Sagan did a lot of work initially before everyone else contributed at 40k to go

no worries, as it looks like we won't be having one this year due to low participation (8 ppl so far submitted picks). I guess it'll be s*** and giggle calls for the other races

I'm going Kristoff, Demare Sagan for KBK
Boonen and Moscon outsiders

Stuyven is smashing it. These 5 are all working. The chasers look gassed.

I saw some criticism on this particular interview but you should take the context into consideration. Just seconds before, in the Sporza mobile studio, they were told that Sagan would not make it to the mobile studio for an interview because he was not feeling well. Supposedly, he also ran straight to the toilet right after the finish. So the information the journalist (Karl Van Nieuwkerke in the mobile studio, and Renaat Schotte at the podium) had received was not correct. That's where Schotte was asking Sagan about his health problems, trying to figure out what it was all about, but then Sagan wasn't quite sure what he was talking about.

Good race from Sep. I think he will do well at Strade Bianche too.

I was just kidding. Sagan is a breath of fresh air, especially when he refuses to make excuses...

Sagan is on another level... I don't understand WHY they take turns when he is in the group. F THAT... u are THAt strong then u pull and I take my chances on the final sprint or in 2-3k solo attack.

Fabian used to do the same but nobody pulled for him lol

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Perhaps playing the long game/ rope-a-dope. Hit'em hard when it really counts (Gent, Flanders, and P-R)

Hi,

My understanding when I signed up was that I was taking advantage of special pricing that will go up later this year. The package lasts for a year. In my mind, it would be crazy of them to ask for $20 for a yearly fee then make me renew two months later. Crazier things have happened for sure.

I had emailed their support last week to ask about activation. They responded quickly. I just asked them if I have a year package. I'll message you their reply.

Thanks!

Mark

So for $20 I can get all those races? Is this just like a killer deal, or is this something in a year I get charged $100 for it?

Hi Brooks,

I just looked at the FAQs. I read it as all season. I don't think I would have signed up if there was any way to interpret my $20 fee as good til just before the Tour.

It says you pay for your subscription in advance of the covered subscription period.

I'm confused now so I'll wait til they reply.
