Should kick off the season opener.

It's the 2022 finish for this year:

Ballerini not impressed. Nor is the 2022 winner starting.

    Not impressed by the rest of the parcour either. "Flanders Lite".

    Would do more of an intro but one handed writing isn't it.

    Going through the start list for my PTP pick and it didn’t seem very strong.

    Don’t forget that the race will be live lunchtime viewing, as the women get centre stage for the prime time afternoon slot.

    Coverage starts around 12-30. UK time.
    I assume you will be watching Sporza which usually means at least another hour before that for a whole lot of chat.
    Should be all over before 3pm.

    Dear Deity.
    Please bring back Orla. No clue who is fronting the coverage but she's trying way, way too hard.
    Thanks

    Don't be too hard on her, she does ride a bike.

    Well into the pointy bits of the race.
    Watching Ardeche as I can’t be arsed with all the pointless chin waggery.
    Second what Jim said.

    Rebecca Charlton is a very good presenter who has a long history of being involved in cycling. If Orla Chennaoui is not available, she is a more than capable stand in.

    Still 10 minutes before get live pics from men's race.

    Just as well PCS are posting live status.

    It’s a lot of time wasting when there are 3 live races to cover this afternoon

    This is a strong counter attack.

    Race slightly static as the peloton slowly wind the break in with 60km to go.

    Turgis crashes, brings a Wanty rider down then trips over the other bike while trying to remount 😂

    Phil Gil's new career as Bradley Wiggins seems to be off to a promising start..

    van Baarle is looking good here.
  • ProssPross Posts: 35,503
    Not sure who is going to help Ineos with this chase. QS maybe but they’re having a mare.
  • ProssPross Posts: 35,503
    Answer is GVA solo.
  • rick_chaseyrick_chasey Posts: 66,309 Lives Here
    No one strong enough or willing enough to cause a proper selection. Maybe a little intimidated by the Muur

    Gentle start to the classics season for me (me and my 2 boys and we'll continue into the footy)

    PFP is going to end up on the WADA list at this rate...

    Yeah. Always men in the break and quick step controlled so race has been very locked up.

    DvB 40 seconds up the road, with Laporte over anything that moves.

    Tratnik on one of those days like in the Olympics - just keeps going.
