Due to popular demand, the race has now been up rated to Chipper+ and consequently gets it's own thread.





Ultimi Km.



Unfortunately, no Wout van Aert or Tadej Pogacar this year. So the focus will be on the road debut for 2023 on Mattheu van de Poel and a rejuvenated Julian Alaphilippe.

Live coverage begins on GCN/Eurosport from 10-30am, with the action focusing on the women's race.
The women's course.



The men's race takes over from 12-50pm. The finish is scheduled for around 3-30pm All times given are GMT.

The weather will be great for spectating but not so good for mud.

    The last 15km - 20km of that were great viewing.

    Neither of them knew who won. Vollering gets it.

    Quite a fast pace for the last hour. Lot of whittling away at the back.
