**Spoiler thread** Omloop het Nieuwsblad 2019 aka Het Volk

What a race!

m.r.m.

Group not chasing super hard. Looks like the break will stay away after all. Shouldn't 1 QS rider try to jump and bridge now? They have numbers, but only Stybar with suspect sprint up front.

A pity Benoot's crash had such an influence. Went a bit flat after that.
Judging from the final climbs it's between GVA and Stybar in the sprint, unless somebody manages an ambush.

So much for GVA looking laboured!

Stybar looks very strong but he’s also been doing loads of work.

Epic edition

m.r.m.

Playing out perfectly for GVA at the moment.

The chase group got really close, thanks to Sky but they seem to burn themselves out and are now looking a bit short.

m.r.m.

Think there are 3 QS in chasing group. Not sure if one of them shouldn't have attacked over the Bosberg as well.

edit: I'm so happy real cycling is back!!!!

Stybar mugs GVA and co.

Stybar has gone. Probably his now.

m.r.m.

Stybar perfect counter attack!

Wellens is not playing nicely

Alejandrosdog

Nice start to season

Alejandrosdog

Good win,

QS can't put a foot wrong

Leferve's lads take up where they left off last season. Make Team Sky look like amateurs in the race domination stakes.

I think my feed must be a few seconds behind

m.r.m.

Very nice start to cycling 2019!

inseine

GVA was too strong. He tried to follow the attacks, including Stybar but the others wouldn't help.

m.r.m.

He did a Sagan. He covered too quickly and got mugged like Sagan sometimes does. But it's so easy to judge from my chair.

All that pressure the management has put on Stybar paid off...

Lanterne_Rogue

Stybar's timing was absolutely perfect then - you can almost see GVA sighing as he looks across to see him go.
