Thanks!
He has definitely been at a new max in his perfomance recently.
Now, here's something I personally find much more important than Jonas Vingegaard riding Cro Race.
According to PCS, Milan Vader is riding! You know, the guy who got seriously injured during Basque earlier this year.

Omloop van Het Houtland is on and the weather looks to be fantastic for racing. Haven't paid that much attention, but there's a five man break up ahead with two from Go Sport Roubaix & one each from Tarteletto Isorex, Sport Vlaanderen & Uno-X.
Alpecin, Lotto, Bora & Jumbo pulling. 68km to go.

Oh, it was the finish. Looked like Philipsen ahead of De Lie.
De Lie sprinting way too early.

Didn't have commentary last year either. It's being filmed for some highlights on tv but they do offer a livestream.
Philipsen beats De Lie and Groenewegen. De Lie went a bit too early (scared of getting boxed in I guess). Basically what Philipsen did in Gooikse Pijl when Thijssen beat him.

yeah, over now. The break way caught fairly late (maybe with 2k to go, the distance left disappeared as well), one Lotto rider crashed, de Lie went too early, and Philipsen won. That was about it.
Groenewegen's level in 2022 is better than in 2020/2021 but's he's still off his 2018/2019 level. At the same time he's done lots of racing as have many in the peleton chasing UCI points - He's up to 71 race days and a number were unsuitable race days, while Philipsen is up to 65 race days - Groenewegen's true level will be revealed in 2023.
De Lie won the real "race" of the day.
The difference between the 2 Belgians and Groenewegen is quite something

They're lucky Mattan didn't compete, the fat dobber.De Lie won the real "race" of the day.

You can literally hear him say to Groenewegen that he will drink it Dylan doesnt want it lmao
De Lie said he sprinted like an amateur. He wanted to surprise Philipsen but went too soon.
Nevertheless, De Lie is really turning into a rider who can start rivalling the big names. Half a year ago it was very cute to see him win some low level races against no-name sprinters and take lots of points for Lotto; it turned into somewhat of a meme. But he's currently in the mix against the big boys. He has progressed at an enormous pace. We could see some great fights in the future between him and Kooij in a battle of the babes.

His power outputs aren't higher than in the beginning of the season. He was just never in good position (Frankfurt) or almost crashed due to others (Ackermann in de Panne and Merlier in Bredene) when he got the chance to sprint against the big guns. I feel that he's coming into the last few k a bit fresher meaning he doesn't loose the wheel of his leadout all the time like in the beginning of the season. That and the fact that he's basically been sprinting at a high level all season long is really good for the future.
Today he was a bit harsh on himself. Someone needed to go (either him, Groenewegen or Philipsen who were all three at the front without leadouts with 250m to go) or others wouldve come from behind and he couldve been boxed like in Gooik.

70ish Ks to go.
A break has 1:30ish to the peloton.

Cofidis for once actually trying to win a sprint and they win
Philipsen with a puncture and De Lie from way too far (was to be expected with a 5 man team and no leadouts).
