Thomo Posted March 24 Share 31 minutes ago, Frosty said: No a Classic race, but it was nice to see Egan Bernal back on a podium (Volta Ciclista a Catalunya), even though it was a master class from Pogačar. He gets better with every outing. 👏🏻 Don't know whether he'll be a serious challenger in the GT's, but good to see him back, improving and seemingly enjoying himself.

Thomo Posted March 24 Share 1 hour ago, 'Dale said: Gent-Wevelgem: 76 kms to go and a tactical masterclass by Lidl-Trek thus far. It’s been a day of echelons with 30 km/h crosswinds on a cool and dry Belgian day. Beautiful racing. Not able to watch all of it but just saw them winning.! 👍🏻 Edited March 24 by Thomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 25 Share Stuyven had an unfortunate technical while being part of the winning break. Man mountain sprinter Jonathan Milan was simply superb as he pressured the rainbow jersey to chase, chase and chase again. Lidl-Trek will draw a lot of confidence and resolve from their team performance. This bodes well for RvV and The Hell of the North. Another highlight of the weekend was the elegant Egan Bernal on a WT stage race podium. Take a bow, champion.

It is time. MvdP and Pogacar can share the balance of races between them, but let Wout take this one please. It is similar to those years where Sagan in his prime kept missing out, until he properly smashed them. Rowl, Underachiever and Frosty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted March 26 Share 6 minutes ago, J Wakefield said: Pogi. Unlikely to get any arguments here. 👍🏻 The comments about looking better but not necessarily being a GT threat were however referring to Bernal. 😊 Hopefully wrong about EB, as the more contenders there are, the better the viewing.!

Apologies my age is showing its face here. Bernal is the best I have seen him since his crash, I dont think however to win a GT is not an option but a 3-5th looks possible Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
