maia all smiles.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

so they entered the finishing circuit.

See how the new climb looks easy btw? Big smooth road too + going to that climb and back adds various kilometers of wide flat roads with a smooth surface, which means that they can organise a chase better when people start attacking.

yeah, good to see they still believe in Leukeman's abilities to get 2nd places

All that sidewalk riding and curb-hopping always makes me nervous. I don't understand why the riders keep risking their health unnecessarily like that.

So Dan Martin doing a lot of work at t he front of the peloton. Thought he was going to get a good result here, but guess he is training for the next week.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Kind of lame that they didn't block the sidewalk on the Hertstraat, like previous years. Now they don't have to take the cobbles.

Wouldn't be a Belgium race without riders going on the footpath, even behind spectators.

I've got a feeling Gilbert and Leukemans in 2011 got away on that stretch of pavement.

 

[jens_attacks]

devolder for a 50 km solo

 

[classicomano]

Volderke is gone, race is over.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Here comes Leukemans

 

[Ferminal]

Maybe a little bit of footpath, wasn't like this though.

 

[Afrank]

Gilbert flat.

 

[jens_attacks]

phil mechanical taking a minute or so

nice chat with the supporter

 

[wiggos sideburn]

BMC will definitely need help Gilbert get back on

 

[the asian]

Puncture for Gilbert. Not going well for him.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Haha what an epic supporter

 

[Afrank]

Still had some kind of problem. Had to get help from the car. Hope he can get back on.

Meanwhile his teammate drills it on the front of the peleton.

Maybe there's just help from the car but no problem
