For Lotto, the script had been clear: increase the pace in the decisive terrain to reduce the sprint field and give De Lie a manageable finale.
Instead, the Belgian was among those who slipped out of contention as the race intensified.
Visbeek suggested the explanation may lie as much in Saturday at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad as Sunday. “This could be a reaction from yesterday. He went deep then. It’s also a matter of race hardness that he’s still missing at the moment.”
That race hardness is central to the broader picture. De Lie spent the off-season working his way back from an ankle injury, and his build-up to the spring was described internally as tight.
