CyclingTuesday, 23 August 2022 at 17:00
Another block of Belgian racing has began, and the Egmont Cycling Race saw a sprint decide the outcome, with Lotto Soudal's Arnaud De Lie taking his ninth win of the season.
The Belgian neo-pro has taken another strong win proving his quality within the World Tour field, as he's beaten Arnaud Démare in the sprint in the finale of the race, and his own teammate Jasper De Buyst who completed the podium to bring in further needed UCI points.

- So why did Tadej say, in an interview, when he won Flanders and was asked if he would try Roubaix next, that he would need to gain more body weight before he thinks of Roubaix? Tadej weighs 25 lbs. lighter than MVDP, last I checked.FredMan06-04-2025
- This is a race Brandon McNulty can win if his form has improved. I'll be pulling for him.awp06-04-2025
- I don’t know how generalised it is but in every race in every country I’ve participated in you either need to show a club licence (which you only get by having a medical around every 2-3 years) or by having a doctors’ aptitude certificate. Can’t ask for much more. Don’t forget, 15000 people (of which quite some are well into the latter part of life), that’s a small town where people will have medical issues every day even without cycling hard. In one country I lived in you even have to do a full ECG and power test regularly to ride competitively after 50.Mistermaumau05-04-2025

- Ok guys, both of you, this is far too complex to debate as a whole as there are dozens of variables and none of the conditions have been rigidly defined, what’s more, everyone is looking at things from a different angle and for a different purpose so let’s go back to the real basics first to see if we can agree on some starting principles. If you throw a golf ball or ping pong ball (assuming same size here) at the same speed in the same direction, which is going to land further? Ditto if you launch them with the same power? If two identical riders of 70 and 80kg (lets assume the extra 10kg is just bones and drinks and lunch) on identical bikes ride side by side at speed X with zero wind (or alternatively a really strong head wind) and both stop pedalling at the same time, which is going to roll further or come to a stop sooner? The wind force does inevitably come into play but I want to keep an open mind as to the effect it has in situ in practice because it obviously isn’t the only criteria and with acem82’s example it’s highly likely that wind is more minor but that wouldn’t be true for every real-life situation. Regarding cobbles, that’s an extremely complex motion to analyse, you can call it bouncing or hopping or climbing or what you like but in reality it’s indescribable and only high precision analysis can tell you exactly how much of each effect is contributing for each rider at each speed and every tire pressure/behaviour, you will NEVER manage to say that one criteria alone governs the whole efficiency equation.Mistermaumau05-04-2025

- Tadej has a little more chance. It will be an exciting race and the most important thing is that no one gets hurt.

- Exactly Tadej, the cancer of modern society. Full of good-for-nothing people who gain visibility and importance on social media mocking, humiliating (and worse things) to earn money. But it's the follower's fault, no followers, no "influencers".maria2024202405-04-2025
