    A weird race has got considerably more weird.

    Rotten luck for Luke Rowe, how on earth did Vanmarcke crash there?

    QS in good shape here, even if Gilbert gets caught Boonen and Trentin (?) can just sit in now

    Boonen looks stroong too.

    Quick Step all over the chase like a rash.

    If none of you watched the '08 or '09 Flanders, this is how Devolder won.

    They'll find a way to lose. They always do.

    They seem to think he caught a groove in the road. Looked more like component failure to me. Scary.

    Gilbert climbs the Koppenberg as fast as GvA does.

    Degenkolb looks good.

    Feline would be better off riding with the group.

    Boonen playing an annoying game for the chasers.

    Dege has rider with him - makes sense to put someone up the road so they dont have to work, no?

    QS doing a good job of disrupting the rhythm of the chase

    Fans loving seeing the Belgian Champs jersey leading the race. Come on Gilbert. So want him to do this.
