Apparently Tim Wellens has had a bad crash.
Riders already in difficulty on the bergs.

Philipsen on the front, Milan and De Lie hanging. Another puncture for Magnier 😭

MvdP had a particular technique on the cobbled climbs. Fairly high gear and lifting the front wheel up occasionally. Obviously works for him.

Roman Gregoire just hangs on to take the win in the Faun Drome Classic. Breakaway companion Jorgensen takes second just ahead of a fast chasing peleton.

Interesting wheel failure for Amaury Capiot of Jayco in Omloop. The team said it was "the result of riding for too long on the cobbles with a flat tyre after puncturing”.
