    Wonder if Rowe just rode the cobbles better than the others or is he actually pressing on?
    Stating the obvious here- many riders, favourites and others, may see their race affected by falls and mechanicals. Being out front an advantage altho getting service from your team car could be more problematic?

    Sagan down in a huge puddle on a tarmac section.

    Spectator on the corner may have footage of that

    I think they should sequel "Sunday In Hell 2" with this race.

    Still over 25kms to d'Arenberg.
    Time for a Belgie brew I think.
