    What's van Avermaet doing?

    You'd think BMC would hold it in till the Kemmel.

    And why let van Avermaet do anything unless it's properly attacking/following?

    Waste.

    a big off for 3 or 4 Ugalde - Commeyne - and pavarin looks bad

    I agree! BMC have been using van Avermaet terribly so far in the classics. He's clearly strong but they want to sit him on the front doing the work any number of riders can do.

    He was nt exactly going hard though, suspect they re trying to hold position at the front more than anything else....
