The motorbike took the longest turn in front

 

[GuntherL]

Sunday should be good.

and unpredictable if the weather forecast is correct

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like it's gonna be the front group.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Complete tactical fckup by Belgium. Van Wilder should have stayed with Philipsen to bridge the gap. Instead he even takes turns distancing Philipsen, and chasing De Wulf. While he himself has zero chances of winning.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bissegger is pure class on a bike.

 

[DNP-Old]

The guy is rapid as well. If we go to a sprint, I can't see anyone beating Bissegger after such a hard race.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bissegger imitating Van Wilder

 

[Rollthedice]

Four left. How's the Italian wheelsucker in the sprint?

 

[Dingo]

Tactics might actually make it 7.

Samu would be wise to get rid of Pidcock and Bissegger, because he ain't beating them.

 

[Rollthedice]

Ok, Higuita's gang is closing in.

 

[postmanhat]

Battistella to take this. Good Italian conservation of effort

 

[GuntherL]

This Kron guy in the chasing group, is that the same guy who finished second in the Ardennes stage in the Baloise tour?

 

[Rollthedice]

The magnificent seven.

He was the strongest guy in l'Avenir

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Lol... Eekhoff. Ok. Good show.

 

[Rollthedice]

Battistella went much too late. The big Dutch dude wins.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Nice to see WorldTour riders without medals.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was intense!

 

[Brullnux]

Samu would be wise to get rid of Pidcock and Bissegger, because he ain't beating them.

Bump

 

[sir fly]

Didn't expect this coming.
Congrats to Eekhoff for the title.

The course is confirming its value with every race.

 

[JosephK]

Wow! What a finish. Eekhoff takes it, even after crashing earlier. A great win for the Dutch.

 

[postmanhat]

Fair play to Eekhoff, he did a lot of work to bridge the gap. That was like watching Peter Weening win a sprint

 

[Montelimar]

Incredible final, great sprint Eekhoff, guess Pidcock didn't have the legs for a late attack
