not too late ??

GvA, Stuyven, Naesen

LS; Sep V, Teuns

not sure i understand season long pick but i'll go with old man GvA hoping for a resurgence in Oly year

Would LOVE to see Sep. Could AG2R place both GvA and Naesen on the podium? They certainly have a fine Classics squad and I think in general they will have a nice spring. I would like to see Naesen really break through. He is class.

Things are getting fun. el Tractor is reeling the break back in as the DQS wrecking crew prepares its onslaught.

and flobikes 2021 is on the air ......

Is Quinn Simmons racing today? I'm curious how he will be used this season and if he will get his own chances at all.

everyone loves the workhorses

the most wonderful time of the year....

damn Sep and GvA hit the deck early

Sep can't catch a break. Lucky for both of them this is early and they appear to be superficial wounds. Lets hope they have enough time to catch back.

Cheeky side bets:

LaPorte, Bardet, Pidcock

My Mr. Consistency picks: Wellens with Stybar as his back up.

Yes it is. I do have one serious concern about Stuyven. It appears he no longer has his power stache. I fear that without this he might not have the legs to compete in the finale.

looks like DQS is using Lampaert, setting up Ala for a long one which may then be for Baller-ini

It always amazes me...Lampaert went down and magically Tim D appears at just the right minute to bring him back to the front group.

Strong move from Pidcock to bridge up.

Love this group

Speaking of, no love lost between Trentin and GvA last year. Will be fun to see them go at it.

has Trek totally missed out here ?

I might see 1 Trek rider still left. Like I said, Stuyven cursed everything by not having his power stache.

nice pull, Carl!
Baller-ini

What the hell was Ballerini up to over lockdown? He is a stunning this spring.

right, no 'stache no power but but DQS still does it

I feel bad for Kristoff. He looked to be strong and smart all day, but Classics will be Classics. DQS is masterful as always with their team racing.

Nice call lil Lefevere

yea, that was #$%$%#$ for Kristoff. played the cards right, still came up empty.

DQS does what the do. all biz

McNulty wins today.

What’s the game plan tomorrow, coach?

Textbook teamwork work by DQS. Such a bummer for Kristoff. Pidcock showing his talent to be there.

Carl did. I love the Baller but didn't think it would go to a bunch sprint. It was over at 5k with the Baller.
The other teams had to make it harder for the wolf pack today and they did not.

Kristoff- I am a big fanboy, could've got one today.
