DieselnDust Posted April 7 Posted April 7 138seconds lead with 23.8km to go. They need to up their pace relative to MVDP by 6.8 sec per km to overhaul him

This guy is really something else, but he needs a WvA or Pogi to make it a spectacle. (MvdP will still win most of those encounters though ) betaboy 1
betaboy Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Machine Van Der Poel had the best squad! Well played 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My man got 3rd…. Mads ride well! No real Hell of North but maybe next year. Danger Dassie and Vetplant 2
Frosty Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Most Monument wins (green being the most per event). These two (MvdP and Pog) have time and potential get to 10 each. nathrix, betaboy, DieselnDust and 2 others 2 3

'Dale Posted April 7 Author Posted April 7 (edited) Alpecin-Deceunick continues to thrive with its star racer and the current Rainbow Jersey, punching way above its weight in terms of team budget. What a team performance culminating into sheer dominance in the final - dropping the sharp end of the field at will with the velodrome still 60 kms away. 1-2 for the consecutive year for a team that is not a WorldTour team. 3rd Monument this year. Another green jersey in July? Morale must be sky high in this team, adding 15 watts per pedal stroke to every team member. The Roodhooft brothers created this team and built it around MVDP in the cyclocross space before branching it to road racing. A similar pathway is currently in place, seemingly for the young talent in Puck Pieterse. 47.85 km/h average speed. The fastest time ever, roughly 1 km/h faster than the previous fastest finishing time. 📸 Russ Ellis Edited April 7 by 'Dale El Duderino, Danger Dassie, betaboy and 4 others 5 2
