What a beautiful attack by qs. That attack was a masterpiece

 

[can3478]

Wow QSF!
Great setup from Alaphilippe.

 

[El Pistolero]

Can you believe this is the first Belgian GT victory this year?

 

[Laplaz]

Wow, this was nice.

 

[bambino]

Was that Nibs in the first group? If so probably 5-10 sec gain for rest of GC.

Beautiful setup from QS.

 

[rick james]

Was he meant to be the hare yet got the win?

 

[Escarabajo]

Perfectly done by Quick Step!!

Really? That's a surprising stat...

 

[Bolder]

I'm still not sure how that didn't come down to a "real" sprint! But QS off to a great start -- talk about stealing a win with a well timed effort.

 

[DFA123]

You've got to feel for the sprinters. Didn't even get a chance to contest the win, and now might have to wait until Madrid for their next chance. :Neutral:

 

[sir fly]

Good conclusion.
Congrats.

No casualties in the hectic finale. Important, too.

I think so. But he did have Trentin riding interference...

Good ride by Estaban Chaves in 11th. Hope he has a good Vuelta after a horrible year so far.
