    Pollit hits the front and halves the deficit straight away.

    Yeah, break was never given more than a minute but they're still making the chase hard work.

    Lots of GC teams on the front about to ease up as they go into the final 3km could slow the chase.

    Three of the break hold them off, Asgreen takes the win. That's really funny after Philpsen's antics earlier :lol:

    Asgreen been given an audience with Vingegaard?

    Philipsen will be livid.

    Absolute balls up by Alpecin there. Considering they never let the break get more than a minute, that probably cost them the win as it allowed two extra riders to jump across to the break.

    Such a pity it was QS not Lotto Dysentery. :p

    Campenaerts is the engine you want when trying to hold off the peloton.

    I don't think the GC teams helped much by being on the front keeping out of trouble but not really pulling too hard.

    Very strong quartet and the small gap kept them honest. I thought they'd blown it at 250m when they looked behind and appeared about to mess about but they realised they didn't have the gap to allow it.

    Would have been more amusing if Eenkhoorn had won though.
