    Opened up a big split on the descent there. Stybar in the front.

    Half the bunch lost on the Muur.

    In fairness I heard he was out from the commentary team of the woman’s race in French. I didn’t see anything!

    Naesen and Vanmarcke at the rear of the peloton....Kristoff stuck back there, too.

    Vos punctures, 16km to go. Bastianelli in a group of 4 breaking away

    So, Matti Bresche hasn't retired, just been hiding in Italy....sneaky, Zubeldia-esque.

    G2 make the catch. It's a dangerous group.

    Van Poppel reached the head of the race then the anchors went on... Some heavy hitters on the front now.

    Danny Van Poppel put a huge effort in to bridge to the lead 4 only to go out the back as group 2 caught them. Front group all back together bar a few stragglers.

    Pretty sure I just saw van Poppell sliding out the back of the bunch, absolutely fisted himself on that false flat

    Impetus seems to have gone out of the front group, the lead over the peleton has dropped to 50 seconds

    Yeah the peloton could get back in.

    I think the pace has gone up in the peloton too, there were 3 katusha riders hammering the front just now

    Katusha driving hard through the feed zone, that won't be popular.

    Mohoric attacks

    The triple hops have never done it for me, tbh. Was very excited first time I got to try, but when it comes to it, you can't actually improve a Duvel, it's perfect as it is.

    All back together with Mohoric soloing off the front.

    Back together!

    Those katusha domestiques straight out the back. Good work from them.

    Massively enjoying the profile with the "distance from finish" markings on it.

    Rowe attack :-)
