    Trek rider down HARD at exact same spot.

    Europcar rider down but back up.

    Must be some sh*t on the road.
    Yeah, it looked like the camera moto following Boom crashed literally a second after he did, there was a quick flash of him going off the road and then the feed cut out, then the overhead shot with the moto in the field too.

    women's cycling got a long way to go - co-commentator has to ask permission to mention just the result of the race. "do we have time?"

    I like the way the Lotto rider was flicking his elbow for the BMC lad to come through whilst riding on the smallest path next the cobbles

    17ks 36 secs.

    2 Topsports, some Garmin rider, and the World Champion.

    Who wins!

    Not exactly a stellar field, but those boys behind have got pumped. Can't bring back three no names + Kwiatek all of which have been soft pedalling.

    #DDV @stijndevolder79 is pretty banged up from crash but has continued in the race. Hardman. Especially since the rain is coming down again.

    I can't believe what I just saw. Does Kwiatkowski have any ability to think at all, or does he depend on a radio to do everything. Tactically, a fooking disaster by him and the Garmin rider.

    Gah! Colleague walked in for a 'chat' with 1.5k to go! Missed it!

    Well done Topsport!

    Walays in the break then pulling a ton for their sprinter Theuns.

    Then gives it a 1km blast and takes the win with Theuns in second.

    I don't like it when riders don't react immediately, they lost it for themselves.

    Not even an effort at an attack. Rides to 1km out and Wallays, as completely expected jumps. Then Kwiatkowski looks around for help to chase down.... DUMB DUMB DUMB

    Another excellent race, but a top 10 that nobody could have PTP'd.

    Just watched the huge crash at the end of the women's race.

    So the winners trophy is he plastic donkey.... like the donkey teddy bear thing for Kuurne Brussels Kuurne. Pedro Delgado and Sean Kelly must be consulting on the choice of trophies

    Good race and great result for Topsport.

    “We have to wait to see what the damage is…he was back on the bike and finished but he had no idea that he had crashed - or how.

    Standard Devolder.

    Yeah. Without wanting to get p*ssy about this, if a rider has concussion to the extent he can't remember having an accident, he shouldn't be racing, or even riding a bike.
