Neilson Powless leads diverse EF Education-EasyPost lineup for Tour of Flanders
CyclingFriday, 31 March 2023 at 22:00
EF Education-EasyPost will be one of the most interesting teams heading into the Tour of Flanders. They come in with several weapons for the cobbled race who are rated as outsiders, but a result is definitely possible.
Neilson Powless and Mikkel Honoré were on great display at the recent Dwars door Vlaanderen. In a race where the main splits were done in the climbs, both made it into the winning group. From there Honoré was aggressive, and Powless attacked in the finale to survive the charge of the peloton and race into third on the day. Having a great season when it comes to stage-races, the American also recently finished 7th at Milano-Sanremo and is a true outsider for this race, having the climbing capacity.
Alberto Bettiol, race winner in 2018 was initially announced as part of the lineup, but has been pulled out last-minute. Jens Keukeleire, Owain Down, Tom Scully and Jonas Rutsch complete the lineup. All four are strong rouleurs which will provide the team with a lot of support early on, and could be crucial if echelons are to occur early in the day.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
