Following on from his win earlier last week, he took 2nd place to Chichi in stage 1 of 3 Daagse van West-Vlaanderen then took the win yesterday after a nasty, nasty stage. Wet, dirty, cobbled.

    Been keeping a close eye on Ms Demare. He's doing a job for me.
    Looks to me to be similar to Oscarito; leaves his jump until the last mo.
    Should go well at De Panne and after that, anythings a bonus.

    A footnote.
    I see that Alex Dowsett has his forearm in a cast as a result of that crash.

    I think it's De-mar as in bar, but I wouldn't bet anything on it.

    Frenchie? Kind Monsieur Frenchie? Can you help us here?

    If Sporza pronounce it like bar, I'm going with bar

    As far as I could tell, he took the bonus seconds to put Guillaume van Kersbulk in a good position, but not sure without checking the overall
