Arnaud de Lie takes sprint success on stage 2 of the Tour de Wallonie
CyclingSunday, 23 July 2023 at 17:22
Arnaud De Lie has taken victory from a bunch sprint on stage 2 of the 2023 Tour de Wallonie.
After Filippo Ganna took a somewhat surprising sprint victory on the opening stage, a Laurenz Rex-led breakaway threatened to ruin the party on stage two. Once they had all been reeled in though, the sprint finish once again decided the stage.
This time it was Lotto Dstny's Arnaud De Lie who proved to be the fastest in the bunch, edging out fellow Belgian Thibau Nys at the line.

- That’s a terrible analogy, especially the Vin/CR part. It would have been more interesting to add a few and compare with tennis.Mistermaumau01-03-2025
- 1. In one sense yes but if they’re closed it wouldn’t be easy to avoid lateral knocking and that would often lead to crashes by toppling over. 2. Yes, technically everything would be possible. You’d still need to train though and I’m not sure many would feel comfortable doing so in traffic. 3. Are you in the US? Roads in many parts of the world are too complex for the flag thing to be a big help, especially now that taller SUVs have caught up. I’d be enthusiastic about anyone kickstarting the sport but I have no illusions about it becoming popular in public or for mobility. No past 2-wheel faired concepts ever gained traction, the at the time audacious Sinclair C5 was an even bigger flop than Delorean cars or soon the Cybertruck ;-) BMW’s roofed motorbike wasn’t much better accepted, there is no money to be made from these types of vehicles though I admit I’ve been surprised by the relative popularity of double front wheeled motorbikes but then they have a pretty generic motorbike look. People are very resistant to change when it comes to locomotion.Mistermaumau01-03-2025
- It’s 2025, surely you can figure out a workaround? Not going to suggest the obvious for fear of it turning viral and adding another 1-2% to global electricity consumption but in this era where EVERYONE uploads or livestreams almost EVERYTHING, it doesn’t take a genius to organise a hack.Mistermaumau28-02-2025

- I got it was a joke but yes a lot of people won’t get the style of humour, especially those who equate the sponsor with team and rider choices and unfortunately, whenever a rider or team messed up, the media never hesitated to include the sponsor’s name in the story so it’s not surprising. Can you imagine the damage done to a company like Festina to have its name permanently associated? Lucky ONCE got out before things blew up.Mistermaumau28-02-2025
- Ok, thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn’t misunderstand it for something more cryptic :-)Mistermaumau28-02-2025
- 1. Why not let people use them in a peloton? They actually provide a measure of protection for the riders. 2. They do make units that one can get in and out of easily, and all these problems have and would be fixed by riders, teams, and bike manufacturers (innovation), not a centralized body. 3. Though lower than standard bikes, they are much more visible than typical recumbents, and can have a safety flag above the bike if necessary. All in all, I don't see any of the issues being unsolvable. The reason this stuff doesn't happen is because the UCI effectively stopped their adoption, people want the bikes the pros use, not the best or fastest. So, again, abolish the UCI and more people (not less) will engage in and watch the sport.acem8228-02-2025
