The Classics

['Dale]

Clear your day, kiss your loved ones, go for a 5 hour ride, light the fire to braai, chill them beers, and watch the men and women gladiators take on the cobbles without any interruptions but to hydrate, text here and refuel.

For those on SS, seems you can tune in now:

Rolling in the neutral zone...

It’s a long way to Oudenarde; it’s a long way to go.

 

Probably the warmest part of the route.

 

Who remembers his win at the Giro?

haibo! the fair-weather rider in me (ie all of me) finds that image horrifying!

… and then there’s the little boy in this late 50’s body, just got back from from a rain-soaked ride that included a downpour.  Foul weather riding has its moments.  My all-time fave cycling experience was biking up a snow covered Swartberg to camp solo on the peak, and the picnic brought up by the then-wife and kids the next morning.  The cherry-on-top was the cloudless, windless full-moon night in the snow.  

Now to clean the ride while watching TdFlanders.

No wind. The average speed after one hour of racing is 47.8 kilometers. @Cyclingnews

It is just crazy. And they look as if they are rolling along gently

Van Der Poel and Tadej in prime position. 

Time to tune in now if you aren't watching already. 

[Vetplant]

So what says the hub? Can Tadej pull a cat out of the hat here in the Sprint? 

[justinafrika]

Pog for the win, but what an exceptionally exciting finale setup????  Even me loins are tingling.

[Vetplant]

I'm thinking MvdP is going to pull a cramp in the Sprint and Tadej will sneak the win... 

[Vetplant]

Ai Tadej?! Throws away a podium. 

Amazing race!

Van Der Poel 🤟🤟⚡⚡⚡

[Frosty]

Pog gave that one away.
