    Building up for something but becasue they haven't published a route map cos covid, it's hard to tell what.

    There's a map (here, from official site) but no timings to keep people away
    Thanks...

    (not really much of a map though is it...)

    Crashes everywhere, luckily most of them slow speed and on to soft grass.

    I always liked the Molenberg. EPIC inside line from a ?Jumbo rider 😂🤣

    Significant break has gone. 3 QS in it

    Pidcock has missed the break but is trying to bridge😁

    GVA, SVM, JA, Trentin etc all in the front...

    I'm not at the point where I can recognise riders in new kits yet

    Pidcock makes it! 😮

    31 to go

    Alaphilippe gets a gap over the Berendries (?) Has been working a lot on the front.

    Is this a race winning attack or a set up?

    Putting some favours on ice for later in spring?

    Should all come back together behind as a result of Alaphilippe going so early

    Stybar self destructs. Ballerini doing a sterling job to disrupt the chase.

    gap drops for 20 to 10 s

    DQS’s game plan appears to have been messed up by the rainbow jersey.
    Ineos’s odds and sods team doing rather well
