PTP 2021 - Gent-Wevelgem - Sunday 28 March

in Pro race
Welcome to the PTP thread for the 83rd edition of the sprinter’s classic which is now apparently known as Gent-Wevelgem in Flanders fields. Lockdowns permitting we race this Sunday.
If you want to find out more details about the race itself, the area or the history of them both then you can consult the official website here: https://www.gent-wevelgem.be/en/gw/elite-men
Once again, spectators are being asked to stay off the route. This means finding accurate information on the course is tricky but there seems to be a profile available here:

I did wonder why people were picking someone not on the list (having done it myself in the very first pick!).
Here is the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OmICNNUG-oZ_br18AeDdCUr06EAKWr-xd82C6eoG0Fc/edit?usp=sharing
Can't help but feel a little bit sorry for those who picked Sam Bennett (and of course the man himself).
Anyway, the next race on the PTP calendar is rather a big one, so get planning your selections for next Sunday (4th April) for Ronde Van Vlaanderen.
