The good news is crosswinds? Does not really make up for two teams being covid-isolated.

Excellent dead-straight powerful sprint from WVA, even after doing plenty of pulling in the break in windy conditions.

A shame some contenders couldn't ride due to covid protocols, but still an impressive ride.

Who did not start who might have challenged that? It was a pretty sprinty final selection with the biggest omission having gone pop shortly before.

Stuyven and Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) couldn't ride.

Not sure why VDP wasn't there.

Two bits on cyclingnews.com that I had missed: the centre of Menin is being bypassed due to a fire and any spectators risk a EUR 250 fine!

Anna Henderson of jumbo visma with a nice little lead with 25km to go.

When Sam Bennett was sick they tried making out it was some kind of stomach complaint. If you’re chasing going deep for a long time, too much in the red & you’ll puke. You can’t be on form everyday of a busy race calendar.
