Yep, not his day today. Lots of strong riders at the front, wonder when the decisive move will go?

Things you learn from auto-translated social media: Contador means accountant.
Enjoyed Gent-Wevelgem. Marcus Burghardt and Sagan worked brilliantly together to set up the win for the world champion. Burghardt ensured there was no getting away for the likes of Van Avermaet this time. You can see him celebrating a job well done here.
The elite grouping also just looked fabulous, with a large collection of champion jerseys on display (world, German, French, Belgian, Olympic (gold cuffs) and Czech all in a small group) and they were being chased by the European champion Kristoff.
Who didn't look quite so fabulous in the white shorts.
Van Avermaet and Kristoff are both underperforming so far, but there's still a lot of racing left this Spring. Starting with a biggie today, Dwars door Vlaanderen, on the World Tour, as we build up to the Ronde on Sunday. Both Kristoff and GVA are racing this one today, though it tends to be won by an ambush so I wouldn't be backing Kristoff.Last edited by Kevin S; 28-03-2018, 09:05.

I've gone for a 25p e/w punt today, in fact.
Jens Debusschere 22/1
Stake: £0.50
Potential returns: £7.38
Two top five finishes this week, won the race in 2016. Can't argue with 22/1 for that.

Neither race has a break at the moment - no-one wants to brave this alone...

Turns out that Rob Hatch is doing commentary... for the race organisers and Flemish host broadcasters. Eurosport has Kirby.
It's starting to fracture now. Key phase coming up, you feel.

The front five are looking like they could make this stick now, and the chase is not well coordinated.
Teunissen, Vanmarcke, Lampaert, Pedersen and Boasson Hagen.
Eddie is the fastest finisher of that lot by some distance, isn't he? I can't see the other four wanting to bring him to the finish.

Who, Boasson Hagen? He's in G1, white top, green helmet.
Of the chase group, only Moscon, Benoot and GVA are doing turns. With Moscon not doing much. The two Quick Step riders there are helping to keep the pace down to aid Lampaert in G1.
