'Dale Posted April 7, 2019 Share Oops! I accidentally fell on the coach with a handful of chocolates, activating the remote control and ended up watching the final 30 kms of @RondeVlaanderen again... Eldron, lechatnoir, Gen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted April 7, 2019 Share I have never been happier to eat my own words. Ride of the day for me!Pretty sure a lot of riders are relieved that he isn't lining up next Sunday. Vetplant and Eldron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted April 7, 2019 Share Cracker for Team EF . Well deserved win and seems like a ready nice fella .Can’t help but be a bit disappointed with the chase group tho . Biggest names in racing and they never really seemed to give it a shot to catch in the last 10 clips . I know it’s hellava tactical and If they drag Kristof through its game over . But got to give it a dash surely?Ja nee.. the unwillingness to take each other to the line ne.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But got to give it a dash surely?Really mature for a youngster. Thanked all his team mates (especially Sep and called him a great champion) and told people to watch out for the pink. Great interview from a young man that had just done something awesome. I probably would have just whooped like a clown for 30 mins.

'Dale Posted April 7, 2019 Share  "I know him a bit. He was a great talent, but also a bit lazy. Last year he was too fat. Now he may have made that click and he will finally do everything for it,"  Avermaet, on Bettiol, his former teammate at BMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted April 7, 2019 Share “I don’t know how I did it. I felt really good on the Kwaremont and Andreas (Klier) from the car said: 'If you can, just go.' I closed my eyes and went. I looked down at the top and had a really good gap. They said 'keep pushing, keep pushing. On the Paterberg I don’t think I lost a lot and then it was the longest 14km of my life."  Bettiol, on his first professional victory ????

Yo-Yo Posted April 7, 2019 Share anyone seen any gif of MVDP’s hop to crash. Tough bugger to fight back from that. Looked like it was his collarbone at first. Edit: Found it.  Edited April 7, 2019 by Yo-yo Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted April 7, 2019 Share anyone seen any gif of MVDP’s hop to crash. Tough bugger to fight back from that. Looked like it was his collarbone at first.Yeah. What could have been but for one missing cobble that his front wheel got stuck in! Yo-Yo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted April 7, 2019 Share Yeah. What could have been but for one missing cobble that his front wheel got stuck in!Yeah, and still pulls a 4th. Awesome ride by Bettiol, snuck under the radar a bit but should have had more spotlight looking back at his placings recently. Jonny V will be doing cartwheels and Dave B will be thinking it’s Groundhog Day. Gen and Eldron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crazy German Posted April 8, 2019 Share Yeah. What could have been but for one missing cobble that his front wheel got stuck in!There where no cobbles just pavement stones and none where missing. There is a dark spot but dont think its really a hole. looks like a metal cover to acces some pipework undrneath almost same height as the pavement stones. His wheel was ****** and it just went for good.

"My wheel then broke completely when it hit a pothole on the sidewalk and I crashed face front. That hurt a little." Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
