[Pross]

Ben Turner seems to have decided he’s MVDP / Pog today (and now realises he isn’t)

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Any notable DNS crashed etc?.

Only Max Kanter has crashed out. There have been a few spills, but nothing too notable.

We did have echelons until recently. Ineos managed to bring the peloton back to the top dog group. (About 35 strong)

Ineos are doing their thing of having numbers and looking strong before the real action starts.

[mididoctors]

[Pross]

[Pross]

Took my eyes off the screen so no idea how it went from Turner being right on the wheel at the top of the Kemmel to missing the move.

Blow for the race ineos could chase

Given up behind

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Ben Turner has a spectacular crash.

I've often described riders as being spat out of the peloton, but that's usually via the backdoor on an alpine climb. That was insane, no idea how you generate tat sort of sideways momentum
