    I live 90 mins from Leuven. I’ll be down there tomorrow if I can figure out how to get near the course.



    it’s a loopy one. Wout is the obvious choice.

    Good to see the Irish lads trying to get into the breakaway



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,686 ✭✭✭at1withmyself



    Rory Townsend made the break of the day, 8 of them with a small gap which looks like it could be the one.

    Victor Campenaerts wearing glasses for once. Can't remember the last time I saw him wear any.

    All the pressure on Wout, but look at the strength in the danish and slovenian teams, as well as Italy. Also, the question of Evanepoel and if he goes off-script is intriguing...gonna be an interesting few hours!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Evenepoel and Cort on the attack, splits already, Jesus theres 170km to go!

    This is a tasty group trying to go up the road.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    This is great, Evenapoel arguing with everyone including DeClerq



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity

    So how many people have you heard pronounce it Leuve? Just one. Rob Hatch.

    Magnificent racing so far. If you ever had Notions of duking it out with Pro Cyclists, this the one that will put you in your box.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Cant wait til they get out of the city to the countryside loop again, its going to explode



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Tim DeClercq is The Terminator



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Apparently 2 of the Irish lads have dropped out according to PCS, I'm guessing it's Eddie Dunbar that's left.

    Haven't seen him at all today though.

    Kwiatkowski riding a Pinarello with discs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 809 ✭✭✭Morris Garren


    Also, I didn't know that the race started in 'Antwerpaa' earlier. Amazing.

    As for the race, it's amazing stuff. How many will make it to the final lap? And we spotted Kristoff there a few km ago. Now if it started lashing rain now, he would be my man



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,199 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    This has been an enthralling race all day, well worth couch time for the day.

    Crowds look amazing.



  • Posts: 15,777 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I have to say it's the racing that makes a course, I enjoyed the racing over the week but thought the course wasn't all that. Today it's a completely different story.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,480 ✭✭✭G1032


    What race. Epic stuff so far all day

    I know I'll jinx it but it's great to see a crowd enjoy a race without being dumb cnt mankini wearing hazards that the GTs attract



  • Posts: 15,777 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    What happened to Morhoric, looked like either he completely blew or had gear problems.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,191 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    Go on Lulu!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,480 ✭✭✭G1032


    Allez Ala. Go on. Hope he holds on now. What a legend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,219 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Everybody is wrecked

    Remco won't be happy.



  • Posts: 15,777 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Nearly 30 seconds now, he's home and hosed now. Chapeau.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,187 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    I hope at least Jasper can get the silver.
