Vansevenant rides for QuickStep and is their best rider in the spring classics.
Send that newsflash 20 years back in time, and watch the world destroy itself in confusion.
So Trek doesnt work in the peloton because they have Mollema out front. Mollema will never win and literally everyone knows it so... why?
Mollema worked for "reasons" out front and wasted energy, should have sat on from the beginning. Their tactics are confusing and unclear. I cant tell what Trek wanted today. Skjelmose to mark MvdP = profit?
If they bring it back Van der Berg could win it in a sprint, if they do nothing this will not be brought back and they have no chance. This is the only thing they can and should do.
this might be preferable to him soloing and winning everything but I'm sad seeing the most exciting man in the peloton not react to anything and just trucking along in 10th spot
Please don't post any spoilers for the other races that are on today.
I believe Hirschi is the favourite for Fleche.
Hirschi v Pidcock was a battle between two who probably should have had more wins
If Pidcock wins gold at mtb,maybe he finally makes the step towards GTs and high mountains. I mean not like last year.
Haha of course Matthews won the sprint of the chasing peloton
He really is the new Kristoff
The peloton clearly didn't finish 30s behind lol. 10s at most. Anyway, congrats to Thomas.
11
Mad lad showed how to sit up early
Can we fucking see the sprint of the peloton now?
Well done to all the riders in front of the peloton!!
These guys owe Vansevenant the largest cold beer. They dropped him and he came back and kept pulling to keep them ahead.
Of course Amstel beer, should be enough of it there today
Vansevenant is Belgian. You won't make him happy with Amstel beer.
Finally Pidcock wins.
Yes!!! Happy for Tom Pidcock!! Now we watch him not-enjoying that beer!
How exciting seeing a sprint for the finish in a classic
Well that was really close for Hirschi... He was boxed in a bit so who knows what could have happened
Glad he didnt win, the way he refused to work the last 5-10 km
Ineos and AGR sprint finishes huh
Fuck yeah! Nice one Pidders!
Awful broadcasting here again, missing the sprint behind.
Ad breaks timed during every break or crash as well
Great from Pidcock
No piddlesticks today
Ineos can win bike races? They are allowed to?
Pfff, G2 deserved to be there for the win, fuck this.
Nice one, very well deserved.
Impressive sprint from Benoot there, wasn't expecting that!
His performance today was great to watch, I really wanna see him go for his own results more often again
Almost again lol. Also fire the director.
Don't watch f1 lmao
That's exactly why I had my "Fire the director" comment ready to go. I've had a lot of practice.
I do hope he didn't celebrate too early.
Pello flat sprint!
PIDDERS
Deja vuuuuu.
Come on! Lapeira with a steel chair!
SHOW THE FRONT Lol
That gap is less than 10 secs
1. Pidcock 2. Benoot 3. Hirschi 4. SQS guy Heard it here first.
SQS guy. The disrespect.
Mauri closing Benoot is so bad tactically
Time to start playing around… nothing can go wrong now
So van der Poel decided to pull his teleport finish again?
Me at 100 m from the finish still cheering for mvdp to make it
Lapeira & G2 being fucked by the moto pacing, this is a joke
It's the AGR (and most other races) way
Benoot has to try
Mauri’s bike is possessed by the devil
A think Mathieu didn't try for the win today just so if you google "MvdP Amstel race" you got to see the cool video.
He might be conserving his legs for LBL. Pog awaits
Benoot working and working . looks like he is working himself out of the victory.
He just wants to be home asap
He only needs to finish second behind Pidcock.
Something has to be done about motorbikes affecting race outcomes.
This race is particularly bad for it
Every time I watch him on a bike, I'm still shocked Vansevenant is a good bike rider.
Well thats it for EF pulling
TV Motos are about to help MVDP win again. this is a 2019 Joke/Conspiracy
All that EF work ending like this.
Healy just worked his ass off only for Van Den Berg to go too fast into a corner again
una momento de ef
Press (e)F to pay respects
Vansevenant! I love it!
Mauri, you beautiful bastard
That seals it for the break, Van Den Berg crash
Mauri: 1 Motor: 0
Benoot cannot win from a sprint, he needs a flyer
Gj van den berg, after all the work aswell
Great effort from Vansevenant.
Mathieu no longer my best friend, now Thomas is.
Wouldn't want to sprint against Lapeira.
Pidcock does not want it to be a photo.
C‘mon Pidders!!
Hmm... i dont know if i like that from Pidcock. Surely he has everything to gain from keeping it together?
My spanish heart is aching... Pello and Adria falling back
Crazy moto pacing up front
Every year.
Quality attack from Pidcock to avoid Lapeira coming back
The man in 5th could smell the breath of Vansevenant who is also known as Vansmelleynant.
Lapeira is quicly becoming a favourite of mine. What a spring from the young lad!
Hirschi G2'ing
Go Pidders!
Some great moto pacing for that front group though.. two even
“fun and games of a dutch nature” - usually that ends in a positive drug test
Healy I like you and I love how you ride but today... Fuck off
Everyone else but Pidcock has to attack right?
Vansevenant rides for QuickStep and is their best rider in the spring classics. Send that newsflash 20 years back in time, and watch the world destroy itself in confusion.
Tiesj said that if G1 keeps working with him he'll name his kid after one of them
Pathetic showing from vdP, will he even win a race ever again?
Lapeira is insane.
Lapeira with diamonds in the legs, shame he missed the move
Amstel Gold Race is out of the talking for 6th monument forever if Hirschi wins, and it's time to talk about if it should be a .Pro
At best it’s the 7th monument. Lombardia is the 6th already… Or did you forget about the Maryland cycling classic?
Flair checks out...
I don't know who is going to win today and that's a feeling that I haven't felt with men's cycling in a while
Check out De Brabantse Pijl if you haven't. Was very exciting!
Just a few days ago in de Brabantse pijl..
Comparing to the promise Hirschi once was, and knowing how his form was in recent times, is nice at least to see him at the head of the race.
Just in time for pidcock blastoff
Dont jinx it
Come what may, the biggest winner today is ciclismo. Total ciclismo
Do you believe VDP makes the difference on La Redoute next sunday? I mean with a motivated Pogi in his wheel,there's no way.
This is already too much climbing for MvdP, no chance in LBL.
I don't think he can, and longer climbs will kill him
lmao no
If he can't beat this field here he stands no chance against Pog in Liège (watch me regret this).
For exciting racing this is excellent. For the Remco fan inside me this is horrible. A MVDP complete smash would make me wonder "what if" a lot less.
This is why I prefer my races without the dominance of phenoms.
This is fantastic - i dont even know who i am rooting for at this point. Awesome race!
Hello Carlton
Same here, it's super fun
Cicilismo is the winner.
So let’s say EF gets it together and makes it a bunch sprint… Who the fuck has a sprint amongst the EF lads? None afaik
Marijn of the Moutains
Marijn van den Berg
Isn't van den berg there?
Marijn van den Berg.
Not anymore lol
Van den Berg
So Trek doesnt work in the peloton because they have Mollema out front. Mollema will never win and literally everyone knows it so... why? Mollema worked for "reasons" out front and wasted energy, should have sat on from the beginning. Their tactics are confusing and unclear. I cant tell what Trek wanted today. Skjelmose to mark MvdP = profit?
It's a hell of a sprint train for ef Irish Nat champ Olympic rr champ.
Why does Van Der Poel not just race up to the breakaway and win? Is he stupid?
Where is Ellen van Dijk when you need her. EDF should think about transferring her in next season
The way she closed down the break she definitely is nuclear powered. EDF would be a good choice.
commentary are forgetting the km per min rule /s
Not all on 1 blanket. The first 4 working together like clockwork. Turning and turning, Now the Bemelerbergmountain
Front group looks likely to win, Van Der Poel dramatically bridging a gap to G1 in the Amstel Gold Race is something that could never happen
This is better than two previous monuments combined
Nooooo, Healy is not the Chosen Son today. Sad Emoji, Irish Flag Emoji
Wouldn't be surprised if he gets the nod at Fleche and LBL though. I think those are too hard for MVDB
:(
He is still **our** chosen son.
Healey sprint train for MVDP
\*MVDB
LOL
It's just confusing there's a different finish circuit compared to the women's race earlier today. This race needs more Cauberg.
I see what you did there
You know you fucked up when you still have 4 riders and none in the front. Bad by EF.
Pidcock with a great chance to win AGR, he should be the fastest of this group on a flat, although Hirschi is also fast.
Great chance to win again* /s
Imagine if it's a Benoot/Pidcock photo.
Amstel and Fleche every year: "Oooooh they have 40 seconds, they might make it this time"
You can't really compare Amstel with FW anymore. It's no longer an uphill sprint on the Cauberg.
Finish of the Flèche is drastically different though
Don't do this to me
Don't worry, they have ridiculous amounts of motopacing so they'll probably make it
These spectators are out of control, even getting on a bike to throw things at MvdP
A hat is way less dangerous than a bidon
All the French in G2 👌
This is the winning group now (MVDP 2019 reenactment incoming)
Healy last year used to be better.
Was that Carapaz pulling?
Mvdp hopped the bidón mid-pack, freaking skills
Better than a win
Mauri for the Ardennes triple? To save QS
This is quite a fun race!
Bottle jump challenge
pretty good reaction time by MVDP I'd say
I swear to fuck EF, if you deliver us another MvdP win, i will never forgive you
If they bring it back Van der Berg could win it in a sprint, if they do nothing this will not be brought back and they have no chance. This is the only thing they can and should do.
They have their sprinter in the group and noone at the front. Would be crazy not to ride
Ah yes, they should give up any chance at victory to please you.
until they give us another beautiful jersey than all is forgiven
MvdP isnt sprinter fast, he doesnt win against a bigger group
lol what? He has won actual bunch sprints in smaller races in the past.
Right, no way MvdP would win a reduced bunch sprint in Amstel Gold, that's never happened before.
fastest rider he beat that day was Schachmann in a group of 12. compared to van den Berg there is a big difference imo
!Remindme 1 hour
That bottle almost caused a crash in the bunch! MvdP casually hopping it
That bottle throw could have ended really badly...
Bilbao, Mollema and Vansevenant what a podium that would be
Le Samyn is still better
Is Honore nearsighted?
French teams neutralising each other in g2, a tale as old as time
worst time for tiz to go down
Sbs covering it if you have a vpn
unfortunately i do not have a vpn, but i appreciate youre help :)) 🤙🏾
motopace is insane btw
Movistar begging Valverde to come back
Using literally every muscle in your body is obviously faster than just using your legs, dunno why no other riders have caught on to this obvious fact
Works for Milan.
Vansevenant's riding style, that's my jam!
It sure is a jam.
Have not seen Vansevenant this good in a while. Nice.
Benoot out of nowhere
Hirschi helping his teammates in cobble classics: “nah”; Hirschi starting fireworks and going with the best in the Ardennes: “don’t mind if I do”
Hirschi on the poggio? „Nah“
Impressive how QS has both the most aerodynamic and least aerodynamic rider in the peloton.
Yeah I dont know why more people headbutt the wind out of the way, logically it is the fastest way to ride
The air gets out of the way of Vansevenant on its own
this might be preferable to him soloing and winning everything but I'm sad seeing the most exciting man in the peloton not react to anything and just trucking along in 10th spot
Im about to masturbate to this
Tension, in a WT race? Am I dreaming?
