I'm all in for van Anrooij. She caused the split Wednesday, and was gaining in the sprint...just not quite fast enough.

Well, it will be a very interesting to see how SDWorx races tomorrow. I imagine there will be some interesting team dynamics over the next number of weeks.

Well, they need to have enough space and SD Worx not to block the road this year if they want to do that.

Id love to see FVE do well tomorrow, but her placement in the pack seems really poor compared to Shirin & Puck. A duo attack with Puck would have serious WVA/MVDP vibes. At some point she has to show her ridiculous watts on the road though, surely?

suspect theres been interesting team dynamics for a while, but Demi is keeping out of it so far, it seems more like the team bosses struggling to contain themselves.

but it didnt sound like Demi is on the pace for this race anyway, assuming shes not talking herself down just to go blitz them all, but she has said the recon ride they did she didnt feel great and she was struggling last week to keep up with the front group,and literally expecting to know if shes got the legs for it on the first climb of the day.

Lotte is apparently not interested in winning this again versus taking Paris Roubaix instead.

so it will be interesting to see what SDWorx do, and more importantly what the other teams do to match them.

If she’s in a good position when the race breaks open she will have less problems on the next hills. And then I think she can be really up there with the best. Hope we can see her full power tomorrow.

Lotte exhorted her teammates that they "need to wake up" after Dwars, and that since she wasn't there when the decisive move was made, someone else needed to take the initiative.

She then thanked herself for her sharpness and late attack.

So while she may prefer to add Roubaix to the collection, I don't think she'll just be riding for training.

Anya Louw crashes and gets manhandled (literally) by a spectator trying to pull her back on her bike.

10kmish from the Koppenberg, will the breakaway stop gassing in time to switch for it live ?
