Nys putting the hammer down - alone at the front chased by Albert
Stybar chasing ca 40 sec behind. 5 laps to go. He won't make it today.

Nys is best on real dirt. Albert isn't really coming closer. gap 10 sec

Actually I believe the rules call for the whole race to be finished in about 1 hour, so that perfect timing would result in the winner finishing at about 57 minutes and the first lapped rider being about 7-8 minutes back. that way nobody is on the course for more than 1:04 or so. But it's the Koppenberg so I am sure the course is the same every year, no matter the weather.

I wish I could have been there as well.
