    DvB isn't the strongest guy but ineos deserve the win

    They've made this a race to remember, fair play. So far from the old blueprint of doing nothing in the classics

    Kung has no jump ...total diesel ... Really limits his winning

    Sky/Ineos 's best day since 2012?

    Fair play to them tbh .. they are winning races without having the top tier favourites. Oddly there GT challenges are likely to falter this year with pog and Rog out muscling everyone else

    Will the Opi who took out Lampaert get hit with a €1200 fine?

    I'm glad for Van Baarle. 2nd at Flanders, 2nd at the Worlds, consistently top 10 in spring classics, he deserved a big win.

    Bout time van Barle took a big win. Really pleased for him. Ineos this season have been spectacular in the classics

    Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure why he'd want to go and play second fiddle to Van Aert. And how much money do Jumbo actually have? They always claim they are a mid budget team, but they couldn't possibly have this roster if that's the case.

    Lampaert pretty cheesed at the finish “if you don’t understand bike racing stay at home”

    NGL feeling pretty rough today so was dozing in and out of this.

    I wonder if WvA had not had such bad luck he’d have been there with DvB

    He was there with Van Baarle, when he drifted off the front, so luck had nothing to do with it in the end.

    Besides, I am getting fed up with him and his team's bull poo. It's already worn so thin, people can see straight through it.

    van Baarle punctured at least once, if not twice. WvA punctured once.
    His luck was no worse than anyone else in the front groups, and a lot better than some.

    Still, he should be delighted to have finally beaten MvdP.

    WvA was the strongest guy in the race
