    Got poet it looks Oh Na Na’s just G over the top Vander pole on the right hand side maharic behind him vanart right in the middle Kung on his right hand side oo a little touch of the arms there I think vanard will want to try and get

    Past mahit to try and get right onto the wheel of vandero he doesn’t want to do that extra effort onto the wheel and there’s the turn into the P be get L Caro going up there and now here we go behind you can see it’s mat for AO it is

    Narv is K is oh he’s down you just see wat fat losing grip losing balance wat fat is down and getting going from that again on the patberg is almost impossible yeah I mean it’s going to take one Monumental effort here for him to get back on there what happened was

    Vandero came in vanard was on the left hand side but Kung swung in in front of him vanard tried to go right to get around him but just lost it on that bit but Vander Poole this is a horrible Hill it’s short but it’s still deep it is hellish laso

    Was up there with 7 Seconds going onto it and now Fondo Paul is sailing away from him up the bigest gradient his big rivals at the back contrasting fortunes for both of them and the race now is on yet again it’s p advantage to mat for

    Theo and as we now go to the quamon it’s everything to do and almost a miracle required for w vanak yeah W vanard to get going look with this large group in here now that’s almost going round these Riders it’s not a waste of energy but you’ll lose so

    Much just trying to make up four five six places he just need to sit here just wait until they get on the flatter roads try and get that recovery in so he doesn’t go into the red and then just try and jump across the Vander pole if

    He can the way this race has being ridden so far Rob is that it’s being a large group it always comes back together let’s not forget that headwind the crash there of Anar wet cobbles trying to move up one position just so unfortunate here’s a replay so if you

    Look on the back down s your screen van in that Gutter and just as K’s coming across watch van AR just tried to move to the right he does that gets that wheel stuck on that little Ridge that’s slightly wet bang down he goes there couldn’t be a worst possible time so

    Many riders did so well to get around that as well when you come on to there you’re already nervous with the corner turning onto cobbles you know that gut is there but for vanart look you can see right in the distance Vander Paul accelerating over the top and Van van Art’s

    Accelerating but just to get back up to speed on the ra let them know they’ve crashed all alone at the front of Harold Beaker is mat F he’s finished second and third at this race Adam his father adre also finished second and third chasing him is a brilliant Jonathan

    Narv there’s o Lano as well and now it’s a very quick race to the bottom of the alamont comes in just one kilm time still a very white jersey as well

    1. Once at the top, it’s incredible how aerodynamic they ride. Pedalling high gears, very little body roll. Skin suits and aero bikes. Using the narrow bars and long hoods to sit in an efficient tuck position. It’s like watching a time trial.

    2. Lots of talk about MVP’s lack of sportsmanship… Wout drifted out of the safety of the gutter onto the wet cobble. It’s his fault.

    3. WVA chased hard after his crash. He was stuck behind the group on the Paterberg and had to ride the cobbles to move up. If you can't hold the wheel, TGTFOOTW!
