Asgreen looks like he is on a leisurely sightseeing ride, while closing down any attempt at an attack :D

24 years old, riding his first full season on the World Tour, and in the starting line up of the worlds best team, in a monument.

- and there he goes, as I'm typing :p

For those that don't know, he is very much a "Mads Pedersen" type of rider..... this could get interesting.

Did I miss anything? Had to eat and hope that the signal problems are now over.

Are they actually allowed to ride on bike paths here? Seems common at the moment but thought they had all banned that

All the Astana riders in the back 1/3 of the peloton.... apart from the guy in the break.

This team just have no idea how to ride 1 day races :)

Until Cort just decided to teleport himself to the front.

Yeah, 10 minutes later.

Seems odd to sit at the back, if you are planning an attack :D

Makes sense for him to attack though, he always have problems with positioning, so being out in front is better.

Quite a big split in the bunch. DQS riding on the front.

Can only see 3 QS, not sure that’s the best idea

I get the impression that Sagan is bluffing, he gave a bit away closing down alaphilipe on the poggio a few weeks back

It would be equally odd to spend all your energy trying to stay at the front for long time before your attack.

Peloton breaks. Van Aert, Naesen, van der Poel, Jungels, Trentin, Benoot, Stuyven... all in the first bunch. It seems GVA & Sagan missed it?

Sagan is there ...
