SPR 30 Mar 2:54pm, 30 Mar 2025 47,387 posts	Quote Pin SPR Wasn't going to call it a Pogacar as it's been done by others in the cobbled classics (actually has Pogacar even done that on the cobbles)? Anyway seems today is a day for those behind the very best to show that while they are behind the the very best, they are a step above the rest themselves.
Nellers 30 Mar 2:54pm, 30 Mar 2025 44,888 posts	Quote Pin Nellers I thought it was fairly early to go but there's 30+ kms of fairly flat run in after the last time up the Kemmel so you'd kinda have to go there at the latest. On that basis it's not that much earlier than you'd expect.
Nellers 30 Mar 2:55pm, 30 Mar 2025 44,889 posts	Quote Pin Nellers Also there really doesn't seem to be much intent from the peloton to chase him down does there?
SPR 30 Mar 3:02pm, 30 Mar 2025 47,388 posts	Quote Pin SPR Pedersen is good enough to win from a reduced sprint (unlikely to beat the pure sprinters but would put up a good fight) so having a few good riders go with him would seem ideal. Not seen how it happened yet though. They may be getting organised now but gap would need to start plummeting now and doesn't seem to be happening (and I hope it doesn't).
Nellers 30 Mar 3:15pm, 30 Mar 2025 44,890 posts	Quote Pin Nellers He’s earned this win for sure. The bunch are getting organised now but they’re too late aren’t they?
Chrisull 30 Mar 3:30pm, 30 Mar 2025 22,760 posts	Quote Pin Chrisull Yep. They are. Well deserved, he's an excellent rider, if not quite a Pogacar or MVDP, still an immense talent.

SPR 30 Mar 3:34pm, 30 Mar 2025 47,389 posts	Quote Pin SPR There's probably riders thinking that about Boonen and Cancellara, although in fairness it does seem so much more likely that big favourites win these days. You don't seem to get the a danger rider sneaking off and then the big favourites neutralising each other behind anymore.
SPR 30 Mar 3:37pm, 30 Mar 2025 47,390 posts	Quote Pin SPR To add to that, I saw somewhere (Inrng?) that Pogacar and MVDP have won 13 of the last 18 monuments!
