Wow 2 days after the end of it, and this thread is already relegated to Page 2. It speaks volume for this forum's lack of concern for real cycling.

Good ride from Van Avermaet.
Benoot is so strong. Only 21 years old! The Belgians have their heir for the classics.
(Van Der Poel got caught by the Elmiger group and Teuns passed him in the GC, so if I got it right he will be 6th in the GC, which is still pretty good for a 20 year old cyclocrosser in his first professional road race this season)
Shame I couldn't watch any stage but create to see all those Belgium-born talented riders in the top10. Must be my favourite result of the year. Mathieu seems to be the only crosser to perform, though. Normally the Tour of Belgium is the rendez-vous for crossers but here only teammate Walsleben was classified besides Mathieu. Where were the Fideas and Sunweb ???
Van Avermaet shows that he's a real winner! What a palmares he's got now!
