    GVA looks focussed there.

    Anyone searching for a stream, this seems fairly stable atm, thanks to the Steephill list…

    Pretty big group to the Molenberg, 3 km to go. De Cauwer saying the Molenberg cobbles are pretty bad this year

    43ks to race...Gilbert attached with 49ks and rode the rest solo to win. That is a heavyweight.

    Sprint to the Molenberg is dangerous. Usually crashes.

    Strong riders in front group. Will OPQS be happy with the situation.

    Is Boassen Hagen lost? He's found himself at the front of a semi classic.

    Can't imagine OPQS being too worried. It's like the Red Army vs the Manx Militia.

    The Het is a real connoisseurs race.
    Prefer it to some of the later stuff.
    We are getting a good vintage, too.

    BMC it seems.

    Is that Ciolek in the MTN kit in the chase group ?

    Edit - yes it is.

    Yes, well, not everybody would understand that.
    Besides, it is THE race. :wink:
