believe Evenpoel is out; tried to help bridge Gilbert back but deClercq and GvA went to front of peleton
and pushed it - interesting tactics

These pictures make me want to book next cycling holiday in Yorkshire.

Looks like a lot of guys still in peloton are already out of it and just hanging on.

Can’t tell if you are serious with the first sentence.

This has become such an attritional race. ..

someone is gonna slide out on those corners btwn the mid-course hill and finish. so much water...

That was pink; I’m having a hard time coming to grips with potentially wearing knee warmers today.

Guys off front could be perfect springboard for winning move.

laughed out loud watching Dani Martinez following MVDP in that move....good on him for trying

btw, got a kick out of this

more serious note, VdP mopped up the lead group in no time...

Dani Martinez the most versatile guy in cycling

Italians could play spoilers in this one

looked like MVDP could carry him in a backpack....what a beast

Belgium better get on the stick now. Pederson can drag this front group up the road.

Doesn’t look like front group is coming back, even with number of teams that missed it. MvDP and Trentin could go clear at any moment.

VdP needs to attack and shed...

anyone but Moscon

Well there are worse cycling places in the world.

Remember, these are the roads (and conditions) that Alistair and Johnny train a lot in

Train hard, race easy :D


Me too!


Its apparently not very cold, just wet. And its stopped raining.

ouch MvDP

Shnikeez!!!!

He's human. Saw the shoulders rocking but refused to believe it.

yikes...

forgot to eat...

Whoa, Trentin in pole position.

hard lesson but yeah....cold conditions are tricky that way

Well done for Pedersen and Küng. Attacked early, anticipated the move, and one of them will be rewarded

ANyone else's feed just cut out?! gah!!!

ETA: Temporary disruption. Whew.

808 > NYC > PDX > YVR
2024 Races: Taupo

and its had two climbs taken out and 20km shorter

Kung with gold medal ipain face. As much as I hate to say it Moscon has ridden like a boss.

Pederson looks surprisingly good.

He always does; just that he's a nasty person

He was also among the final selection last year at Worlds as well (5th place, i think?)
