I don’t think one can extrapolate much from that. I’m sure there have been route changes year by year and the wind has almost certainly been a factor. Was the year Paolini won when the weather blew a few riders into a dyke?

Cavendish is in the break. No coverage until 12.30 though.

I wonder if he is riding for Fred Wright ... ! Fred and Ethan - two up sprint at the end ..... ? !

Yeah, 2013. Amazing race. Paolini’s bridge is bonkers. Enjoyed it on YouTube recently

Mikel Bjerg riding across to the break with a five minute gap was impressive.

I have to admit I thought you were kidding

groups all over the road in gent-wevelgem

ouch daniel oss blown into a ditch geraint thomas-stylee, while avoiding a crash

not sure what brought the UAE rider down?

This is great racing.

Knowing the roads and the wind in Flanders must make a vast difference.

covidiot on the side of the road shouts right in WvA's face with no mask on?! wth

WvA did not look impressed

That's some (very) big names in the break, VDP & VA not included... interesting to see how this is going to play out, will either of them make the jump?

The UAE guy was blown into the slut that separates the left from the right side of the road, with his front wheel. One of the most dangerous things on flanders' roads. Sepp Vanmarcke's career has been very negatively influenced by it, when he was in his prime and on his way to winning the Ronde.

Popcorn time 🍿

Why aren’t EF riding their duck nonsense kit for GW?

is gent on TV? im at my in-laws who have eurosport and it's just giro

sold out on the rapha and palace websites before their classics crew could get any. not willing to stump up the 400£ for ebay versions

Its on the ES app, looks like TV is giro and tennis?

I don't like Bettiol's grin... 😉

Think it was meant to be Giro only. It's not limited if you use it in all the races...

I was thinking the same. But I don't think Wout and Matje are letting him go once again

I’m starting to fancy Degenkolb from this group. He’s got a man with him.

so hard to pick. proper group of hitters

Trek putting the hammer down in the giro, has fulsgang had another mechanical?

Someone mentioned the old guard a few pages back. Is this proof that the young Ganna's are taking over?

(Disclaimer : I am merely posting it as seen, I haven't fact-checked it)

Rowe looks to have blown it. That split in the front group happened really quickly.
