It's the spring classic, this year with projected rain and freezing temperatures. I'm hoping this is the year where Mads Pedersen gets his monument, the rain and cold will surely help if it comes.

I won't be able to watch this most of the day, but the last 40 are some of the most exciting of the year. U usually hit max pulse during the Poggio and also right before the sprint.

yes, I hope Pedersen has a chance and wins. Will weather benefit him? I think so.

All in all I hope there's no injuries, but it will be hard in such conditions and full speed regardless of weather.

UAE train for the last 40km to give Tadej the chance of getting 10" at the top of the Poggio.

Maybe Mohoric has rain danced XD

9C at the start, so it's "good cycling weather" as we say in Belgium. light drizzle, it's Flandrien time!

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

bit of rain at the start, but seems like there won't be terrible weather throughout the race. still a very long one tho

any predictions? I think Van Der Poel has a slight benefit over Pogacar... my bet:

  1. Van Der Poel
  2. Pogacar
  3. Pidcock

or Pedersen instead of Pidcock? close one...

Just back from a ride, what did I miss?

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't know, Tiz is showing errors.

I'm glad I live in Belgium, then

you could maybe try VTM Go, it's free and only have to log in, but I don't know if it's geoblocked or not... here's a link and fingers crossed (stream in Dutch/Flemish if that's not a problem)

8 attackers in what will probably a long day for them. rain also started again

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Pogi, Ganna and VDP are gone! away they go!

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

POGGIO! VDP and Pogi are gone

@EvilCartyen yes finally the season begins ;)
It doesn't look like it will be raining. With the strength Mads showed in Paris Nice I still think there's a fair chance that he will get the win this year.

[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago
  1. Mathieu Van Der Poel
  2. Filippo Ganna
  3. Tadej Pogacar
[–] pet1t@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Cipressa started! and the attackers just got caught
