    WVA ripped to shreds, Pedersen and Stuyven also out by the looks. Grimay also down….

    That changes the picture for Sunday.

    None of them is in any shape to continue and by the looks, extremely doubtful for the Ronde.

    A gust of wind the most likely cause.

    Tarling bridging to the front chase group.

    This constant split screening that Eurosport are so fond of, is really annoying.

    Must be doubts for PR as well, and for WvA he has almost no racing in his legs now anyway.

    Of course the one rider who they couldn’t let go, they let go.

    Jorgensen has it the bag, now.

    That crash sucks. Makes Sunday MVDPs to lose, really, as only Wout looked close to him in E3, and Mads is bashed up too

    Sucks. I’m really gutted actually. Not as a wva fanboi but because it makes for a much duller race.
