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. Underachiever and Frosty 2
Frosty Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Well done Lidl-Trek… played that one well. Rowl and Underachiever 2

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

'Dale Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 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. gerriemtb, Frosty, Underachiever and 1 other 4

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. Frosty, Underachiever and Rowl 3

Thomo Posted March 26 Posted March 26 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
