This aged well 🤣

I did not expect Wout to pop like he did, leaving VdP alone for the chase. What a champ wow I’m even more impressed than when Pidcock won strade… what a season so far we are spoilt 😍

Imagine if he had a modern day aero bike 🫢

Wow.. 2 yanks in the top ten! The new gen coming through look promising!

PB is going to be insane this year….if what happened today is anything to go by. It’s seems Jumbo slipped on a banana today! 😂

Don’t worry; not much happened in that time. Pogačar lost a few seconds on his lead, and then got it back up to 25-sec.

Ouens en Vrouens,

What a monumental race - see what I did there.😇

Tactical masterclass from UAE and the champion Slovenian. Execution, however, is what matters, in this cobbled chess game. Mads Petersen, a worthy podium spot. Maybe vd Poel earlier chasing around km 30-40 caught with him oh so marginally. And yet a 2nd spot for the two time winner. And glory still evades Wout Van Aert.

“I knew I had to go solo on the last time up the Kwaremont. I just gave it all. I almost cracked on the Paterberg but I knew it was going to be tough. It was the only way to go to the finish. The Kwaremont suits me the most, we hit it with speed and we suffer on the cobbles. Then it’s pure power to the top and it’s long. It favours me. It's a day I will never forget." 

- 2023 RvV winner, Tadej Pogaçar

If someone wants to talk about "unbelievable" results, well this kid is still eligible for the young riders jersey at the TDF this year... 

Let's rather just enjoy the racing for what it is, mesmerising.

Not a bad start to the season for TP.

I watched the reply of Pog's attack, and it was plain as day that the ghost of last year's sprint finish was chasing him up the last climb... and by golly he certainly was up there pretty spritely

VDP saw a third RVV victory just melt away. All in all, a great race, but pity about the crashes.

Yeah that huge one, sure changed the race… some big big hitters got hurt and I’m just not sure why guys still think it’s cool to slip up on the inside and slot in. That was a super silly move, I would enforce a 3 race ban. These guys careers are on the line every race tje enter. Just imagine if someone got so hurt that they would have to call it quits?

look it’s a dangerous sport but there is a fine line between stupidity and controlled risk. Anyways, let’s hope they all stay upright at PB!😃

I'll just quote the unbelievability of your cheeky post for the records...

If I am not mistaken, he is still eligible for this year and next year? He will still be 25 for next years TdF.

Correct, anyone under the age of 26 is eligible for white.
