Looks like head/cross wind after the final Kemmel?
I guess it depends on where the elastic snaps

Didn't an outsider win last year?WT classics like Wevelgem nowadays do not see any outsiders in the top ranks, sadly. No chance.

Wasn’t he dropped early in MSR? I don’t see him being in contentionToo much flat after the last climb. De Lie will win this.

If being dropped 270k in is early then sure.
I think he’s over his peak form, or at least hasn’t shown it since Omloop a month agoToo much flat after the last climb. De Lie will win this.
Who do you consider as outsideres in today's race? I would claim that GW usually is a good race for outsiders, and especially today. Van Aert can't be unmoved after using that much energy on Friday. And with conditions like today, it's more difficult to control the race. Should make it more possible to get clear in the right breakaway.I still hope for epic conditions. Roubaix 2021 delivered, in such conditions. Always good for outsiders. Florian Vermeersch achieved podium back then.

But they still stand at the startline. They race against van Aert et al.. Like playing football in an important match against Messi.
Won´t happen. Either they screw up tactically, or they are outclassed.Curious if Soudal can recover some face for Lefevre.

You're getting it all backwards. Quickstep does Spanish stage races. It's Movistar that's the cobbled team.
Van Hooydonck, Girmay, Mohoric, Küng, Ganna, Vanmarcke, Kristoff, Politt, Bettiol...Who do you consider as outsideres in today's race?
