Get hyped lads.
Temperatures are around 0°C, and there is a strong eastern wind. Should be a tailwind for the second half of the race, which should favour attacking.
Lets hope its like previous editions where the sprinters teams got BTFO

5km's to go of the final stage of the Abu Dhabi tour in case anyone wants something to watch while waiting.

I missed yesterday's Omloop. How was it, fellas?
Decent race overall but the finish was rather underwhelming in my opinion.
This car slaps your girlfriends ass in the club, what do you do?
*INHALES*
>his name is Taco
I missed this, thank you belgium.
Kek, anybody see dumoulin raging in abu dhabi because his bike was broken ?
hmmm
That's something unrelated, he was training for a cross-country skiing race.
Reporting in, time to get /comfy/
What happened?
he threw his bike on the ground because it was broken and no service car was close to him
That sounds like an intelligent thing to do
Declan Quigley and Magnus on commentary.
here we go lads
Is it not a bit early to catch the break?
oi that's cultural approriation
he can't do that
that's our thing
For real, though: there's no way Marit Bjorgen is natural, right?
Don't worry, you can say if she is. She's not Russian, it doesn't matter if she's Ultimate Warrior-level roiding.

If it weren't for the fact that the course was the "vintage" Ronde finish, more people might be saying it was boring. It was good considering it was nice to be back in classics season but probably will be one of the more boring races of the season.
an extra puff or two or ten of salbutamol
Dumoulin is kind of a prick. I don't buy the whole "Dumoulin/Sunweb are just so nice and wonderful" thing.
this is my favourite race of the year besides roubaix. the scenery is just so damn comfy. and it's a relaxed race even though everyone should want to win it. luv u belgique.
Thats quite a bit of big guys in the lead group. Many teams will want to bring them back, Lotto chasing at the moment.
Agreed.
i was wondering who that was in the scott kit. forgot they signed trentin. he might win today desu.
Should all be dq’d for not riding on the cobbles desu
Imagine being the guy who stand on traffic furniture and waves riders around.
Yea he was looking good yesterday.
I seeme to remmeber a couple seasons ago they introduced a stricter "ride the cobbles" rule and then at KBK like half the QS team was in the break and rode in the gutter the entire race before winning.
LOL Is Petit's race number sticking like a sail out on his back?
What the fuck are these retarded eurosport memes during the breaks?
E C H E L O N S
why the fuck is astana so strong, it doesnt even seem legit anymore
All I want is eurosport to stop playing I want it all.
rate my activity lads
Yeah wearing a bit thin after all these months
bretty good la, you have asthma ?
no just autism
also
>climbing
>denmark
Not bad what covershoes and gloves do you use, Im canadian and its getting warmer but cycling during nov/dec sucks
Can you get TUEs for that?
>life on a pancake
I just use Castelli toe thingies (literally their name) and some semi think gloves
Oss is a machine but he will need to drop Stuyven to win.
Whats the opinion on Naesen?
Wins over doing all training rides on a trainer for half the year.
I dont like him, but I dont know why.
hes a good lad , always says what he thinks as well
Top lad
STUYVEN TAKE MY STRENGTH
Seems like a fine lad. Loved his reaction last year at E3, finishing 3rd behind GVA and Gilbert but just looked so happy. He was clapping as he crossed the line.
F
Fuck not Modolo
How did that happen?
Wew the tub detatched.
Probably would have been way worse without a helmet on as well.
it looked like he was very low on his bars, but idk. maybe he just touched wheels
MIPS doesnt do shit
Ill be sad when Stuyven inevitably gets caught.
Not good for Magnus Cort. Hopefully he will get back on easily enough.
demare win incoming
Nah m8, groenewegen
RIP Stuyven.
r8 pls
My favorite thicc Frenchman.
Somehow I still think he is very underrated.
valgren attack again
>-5°C
jeez
one of the last white frenchman
Nah hes been doing a lot of work in the peloton, might even be gone already.
my drink froze which was really bad
not too fast but anything in -5 is pretty good
I can imagine. I dont ride below 0°C, fuck that
Based Van Keirsbulk
It was -25°C all last week here. Still did my 11 km commutes on a bike.
Why is this madman not wearing gloves? Thats just ridiculous in these temperatures.
west-flemish masterrace genes
This: Also some people really od not like gloves, I hate them. Gloves are usually one of the last pieces I put on.
Dubs and Keukeneire wins
o:
nice
Keukeleire? Not in the race.
Groenewagen is an animal.
fuck groenewegen really dont like him for a reason
based
>fat little hollander wins the race
>getting beaten by a fat little hollander
Demare absolutely btfo
He had a great leadout for Groenewegen. TOugh situation though. If he hadn't jumped so early maybe would not have been able to catch the break.
Vermote looking shell shocked. Heartbreak.
I can barely understand what hes saying
...
qt podium grills
fuck yeah, dylan. my favourite sprinter.
bretty good considering the elevation and speed.
