    Not sure I would be working with Alaphilippe and Asgreen.

    People are going to remember this trio era

    The usual pair are doing the lion's share of the work.
    Going to end in tears.

    The vans doing far too much work. When will they learn?!?

    I’d be sat on the back, you’ve got team mates, I’m not riding.

    It's unbearable, I've only kept the sound on for Maggy as he's knows the roads so well and gives good information when he gets a chance for a few words.

    It is his first year but look who he is in contention with.

    Turgis is strong.

    Notice how Asgreen puts everybody into the red on the climb, yet he's been allowed to hardly doing a tap on the flat.
    Stupid boys.

    Turgis closes alone with too few of the chasing group working. He must be the most consistent rider of the Spring Classics without a van in his name.

    Asgreen attacks as the others are taking bottles but takes WVA and MvdP with him.

    Sure. Just an observation that it seems to be the short, steep slopes causing him trouble.

    Asgreen playing the "my team leader is just behind" card perfectly.

    Backstedt predicted that Agreen attack perfectly

    This is clever from QS....

    Not so good for Alaphilippe's palmares

    And now he gets to sit on, cos JA is just behind.
    Also JA gets to sit on cos of Asgreen.
    QS tactics are obvious as are the two vans.

    Did that Trek rider just give Pidcock a push back onto the back of the group..?

    JA is knackered . Asgreen is the right call

    I don't see him take them in a sprint though so he'll have to rely on neither wanting to be the one who chases when he attacks.

    Asgreen is looking the strongest on the climbs .makes sense

    G3 and G2 merge

    I think this 3 will stay clear - that big group behind must have too many QS in it to work properly
