Unsure if the crash will result in gaps at the finish.

Too bad for Bounhanni, Coquard not really making it easy for him.

Tomorrow in the leader's jersey - told you he's going for GC!

First pro win for Hodeg since October 2019.

Well taken first win for Zimmerman (IWG). Thought he had gone too soon.
Funny seeing Simmons trying to boss the chase group.

 

[Faserr]

Nice finish.
Zimmermann outsmarted the chase group at the end, but he was bridging the gap really strong. Simmons seems a bit overconfident.

He reminds me a little of Van Aert - if he doesn’t want to keep closing gaps then pick a good time to attack. He looks super strong though and should be a powerhouse in the classics for years.

What's naughty about the shape of an electric guitar?

It’s a Johnson guitar by the look of it.

Zimmermann dropped. Vanhoucke, Bagioli, Champousin, Skjelmose (i think) in the lead group. Storer now attacks from that group.

Storer probably has it…

 

[Faserr]

Strong ride.

 

[Samamba]

Storer definitely strongest in the race.

No idea what LTS tactics were tho.

 

[Faserr]

Yeah. LTS really messed this up.

DSM just tripled their amount of wins for the season.
