What's the point of sprinting to the foot of these hills if they're just going to stroll on it? It's not like people are going to get dropped

April is the comfiest month in cycling.

Is it me, or is Sagan really kinda fat this season?

Allaphillipe is 62kg. He makes other sprinters look fat

he defo looks so to me
i feel like a lot of guys in the peleton are just coming out of their winter bulk though, pretty sure i read somewhere that sagan is still working on leaning out

Here is MSR 2 years ago. He is not as lean as he was then

Vanmarcke and Van Avermaet will never win a classic again

Hope Naesen wins something desu, really like him

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Who is that absolute unit Roompot rider?

FUCK QUICK STEP AND FUCK FLEMISH PEOPLE

Stijn Steels

Just lol if Katusha actually manages to win a classic this year

I clap and cheer for every rider when they pass me

>Sagan not working

Yikes

2fat 4 2agan

If group 3 joins with group 2 again it's all ogre lads

De vis is gaan vliegen (Jungels)

Consider the following: the way to beat Quick-Step in the classics is to attack first to avoid the situation we see so often. However, quickstep usually have multiple elite guys along with the other favourites, and favourites don't want to risk a long attack. Quick step can sacrifice someone on a long attack and have another guy shadowing the other favourites

When Sagan won Roubaix it was because he attacked early

Quick-step literally ruining my love for cycling.
Will similar budget rules like in football ever be possible for cycling?

But then quick step would pull him back, the reason sagan got away was because qs had some crashes or punctures or something and had to slow down

THE WAY TO BEAT QUICK STEP?

KICK THEM OF THEIR STUPID BIKES OK?

Money too small in cycling to do that

What piss me off is that we already saw this before. Jungels go early and over the horizon, while dunces in chasing group look at each other and refuse to pull too hard. Why you fuckers don't learn?!

Probably easier said than done but elite guys just have to try and attack and get away. This type of situation they either chase the solo guy and bring a fresh Stybar to the sprint, or don't fully work and let Jungels win

To be fair quick step had already attacked w stybar and others before that

The classics have been screwed up because Sagan has been absent this year, once he gets in form he should be able to compete

But still, why won't they work to close the gap? To have a little chance for a win is better than no chance at all.

Wait a minute, that shroom...

>Sagan

Reminder that he finished 26th in the E3 last season

Stybar will win it now if they pull lol

>sagan is working on his climbing to win lbl

Based van Aert Based Van Avermaet

-10 km on Volta

Who has it in the sprint in the group? Van avermeme or stybar?

Except you just did you dumb goose. A decent statement except for the last "I'm really an angel" bullshit.

1. Stybar
2. Van Aert
3. Van Avermaet
4. Jungels

Book it

Would say 50/50

Remember paris-roubaix 2017 however, full bikelength

Lefevre will kill stybar if he misses out on this

Ever since that fall in the tour last year Sagan forgot how to climb

It's a 'I got dropped so i'll pretend something was wrong with my bike'

Sagan almost coming back ohnononono

Being a mechanic hanging out ouf a car window doing adjustments near a rear wheel spinning around 50-60km/h is my dream job

Who /catalunya/ here?

Kino racing

I do work on my bike, but I know I'm not a good mechanic

Jungels caught omg

But do you want to die? That's like 80% of the job.

Nope

that was a nasty crash

Threadly reminder GVA will not win anything relevant this year

take classes or whatever
it's really not that difficult

Damn this is turning into kino lads

Schachmann won the stage.

And Bernal walking his bike to finish line.

shut the fuck up

Based Bettiol

Suck it butch boi

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
KILLL MEE
KILL MEE
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
KILLL MEE

Based stybar

Quickstepped again

GVA opening the sprint so far out like he wasn't already cooked.

It's not his fault he's a bit retarded

>WOLF PACK
shits getting boring, but cant argue with wins

Attached: gzyjgir7esjcu4xncfwc.jpg (800x606, 51K)

Why can't I argue with wins

He's tactically looking like pre 2016 Greg.

LMAO
did they not count neutralization for Bernal?

Attached: Untitled.jpg (410x278, 53K)

They'll probably rectify it later pal

Van Aert will never win a classic, horrible tactician

yeah, they better do it

Brainlet, he's working on his popularity by being a rider who "always rides" He is still young

Viviani wll win for quick step at gent wevelgem, stybar at flanders, gilbert at roubaix, alaphillipe at loege. BASED

He just goes when he wants to like in cyclocross, give this kid a good team with some tactics pls

Never attacks on his own, but always closes the gap on whoever attacks and pulls the rest of the group back

van avermeme was the same at his age

BIG Phil wil win the ronde van vlaanderen mark my words

What a nice lad.
