Good race that. He has come good this year after his ability to bag big wins being questioned . Looks like he's good for a renewed contract.

Same for Wout ,matter of time before a win.Flanders ?

Cracking Ghent-Wevelgem today and Luke Rowe has just bridged to the leading five...

 

[Adam4868]

Yes just watched that,I've allways fancied Rowe for a classics win.Some effort just to bridge over.Im not so sure those 5 can make it last though ? Nice to see Sagan back in the mix

Kristoff now trying to do the same as Rowe

I didn't think Kristoff still had that in him.
Kudos, chapeau, hat and hatt

 

[Adam4868]

Regarding Kristoff,me neither missed a quite a bit of race,but he must of put some big effort on his own to try and get back in.Didnt think he'd have the legs at the end,but he made it look easy enough.

Quite an eventful few days for MvdP. Nasty looking crash in Nokere, followed by.a win at GP Denain and then grabbing 4th yesterday at GW.

Rather less good day for the Dutch rider, Robbert de Greef (Alecto) this weekend - he's only 27 but suffered a heart attack while on a cobbled section right near the start of the Omloop van de Braakman. He's been placed in an artificial coma, and he is said to be in serious danger. I hope he recovers.

Just having a squint at the starters in Dwars door Vlaanderen and saw that Harry Tanfield is in the Katusha team.

I hadn't noticed before but it looks like the transition to World Tour is proving a tough first year.

Did he not pull out of Ghent wevelgem ? I think he raced a few hours of it,said it was tougher than he thought.
