Now it's time to turn over.

1hr race? Kinda short.

 

[KZD]

Van der Poel already 15 seconds behind. Its going to be difficult for him to recover

1hr race? Kinda short.

Nah, it was a 15 minute race. It's now over.

Pidcock making a comeback.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Looks like van Aert is holding back?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

van Aert punctured

 

[glassmoon]

Nah, it was a 15 minute race. It's now over.

More like 20 minutes... WvA puncture

 

[Flamin]

You have to be ****ing kidding me.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

ffs

 

[spalco]

Van aert didn't lose too much there.

 

[Pantani_lives]

WVA looked incredible on the sand in the first two laps, but then bad luck came with that puncture. It will be hard to come back now...

In a race like this luck always plays a big role...

Van Aert seemed a bit tired on the bridge right now

 

[Flamin]

Van Aert does not look very good on the bridge. But he's better in the sand than Mathieu.

 

[Pantani_lives]

The mental part will be important now for WVA. He has to look forward and think, I'm only eight seconds behind and I'm better on the sand.

 

[glassmoon]

MvP unclipped on steepest climb giving up 2-3 seconds back.

 

[Flamin]

Who's the idiot that decides how many laps have to be ridden? They won't even hit the 1hr mark. Come on, it's simple mathematics for crying out loud.

 

[Pantani_lives]

That image when they hit the flood line of the sea looks spectacular. Water biking!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I'm afraid that was crucial.

 

[Flamin]

I'm afraid that was crucial.

Yep, I think it's game over as well.

 

[glassmoon]

WvA struggling on the climb and in the sand right now...

 

[spalco]

I think Van aert is catching up.

Edith: eh, maybe not, lol

 

[Black Betsy]

Sky train!
