That was big for Vanmarkcke. Pozatto was there shortly after as well, with steegmans

Terpstra on the smooth pavement

 

[Nastyy]

spoke too soon about chavanel?

Seems like OPQS's tactic was to put Chavanel to push the pace on Kwaremont and then Terpstra to attack. Ironically though Terpstra could barely hold Chavanel's wheel on the climb. Chavanel clearly isn't here to win but to prepare for Ronde.

 

[Parrulo]

pippo for the win please, he needs this one and i want to see him in good form and with some confidence for flanders and roubaix. he may wheelsuck a lot but he is just so smooth over the cobbles

is tommeke riding?

 

[luckyboy]

Pichot, Keukeleire, De Kort, Pozzato, Visconti, Vanmarcke in that chase group

 

[Richeypen]

Riders on the grass. I love the cobble classics

 

[boomcie]

Not enough quality in this race. De Kort, Keukeleire and Pichot with Pozzato and Vanmarcke. That's not very impressive...

 

[nvpacchi]

Love how Terp always goes for broke

 

[jens_attacks]

terpstra for the win please

 

[More Strides than Rides]

He's really solidifying his gap, going up on both groups.

But there are still 20k+ to go...

 

[Zam_Olyas]

OPQS for the win.they are just super.

De Kort really looks impressive though. Never seen him like this

 

[Tyke1968]

Great race even without sound. Hope for a tense finish.
Sky pretty quiet.

Peloton

Actually I think this might play into Chavanel's hands. He can just sit and let others do the chasing and if Terpstra gets caught he will smoke them all. Though I think Terpstra is strong enough.

Isn't the Chavenel group ahead of the Vanmarcke group?

 

[jens_attacks]

Terpstra has this. He is flying

Yeah, they ware.

 

[jens_attacks]

anyway terpstra is motoring along

cancellara will be in big trouble with these guys.and chavanel is just taking it easy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Terpstra
44s - Wallays
1.15 - Chavanel group
1:30? - Vanmarcke group
2m+ - Peloton

Could still go any way

 

[boomcie]

De Kort really looks impressive though. Never seen him like this

Maybe, but look at who's with him... That kinda puts it in perspective. Terpstra has a very good shot at this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Group Vanmarcke has now joined group Chavanel!

Peloton is out (2:40)
