That’s your right there left from Yo from Vima Lisa bike there I said it been a long day well chances our positioned on yeah exactly bike bike position as well is counts for an awful lot but his that in that uh scenario should have been very

Close to the edge they gave him the wrong bike essentially um he was handed Dylan Van bala’s bike you can see that from the the front forks in the Netherlands flag while waving the flag for the Dutch the most popular Dutchman in Belgium and you’re looking at him right now

Nelander well absolutely Uber alist today phenomenal he’s allowing himself a little bit of rest spite he’s taking a gel um he’s probably dropped what 25 seconds or so in reasonably short order he’s not slowing down it’s been a gradual descent since 9 km out uh it

Looks like he’s going to have a winning margin of less than a minute by the time this is all spun out because there will be a natural uh race indeed into the void the trouble is they’ve got to get together if they’re going to do that if

They start cat and mousing then it’s going to play into the hands of the quickman of which we have plenty here it’s going to be another good finish I must admit for Michael Matthews yeah it’s going to be a high finish but will it be high enough to get

On the podium because the two in front have now 16 seconds on this chasing group there they are in the distance and we saw a massive effort by the UAE team to close down the group with Michael Matthews when it had split but they need to keep that going this whole group of

Riders needs to ride like a single unit if they’re going to get themselves in with a Chance of sprinting for a Podium matol 118 now his lead down from 2 minutes at his maximum but he’s fully in control just uh interesting to see him

Go for the Gill with 5 km to go uh we have seen him before in the past think of the worlds in Harriet when he looked like he was going to be world champion and simply exploded because he didn’t eat strange things happen well he’s keeping the sustenance where it needs to

Be bettiol also struggling with cramp indeed uh midweek in the DOR none of that on display today um sometimes that can be a misfeed as well Robbie not getting the salts when you need them well it’s that sort of day with everything going on groups just merging

And ebing and flowing and then the gaps being so small that you can’t get what you want from the team car if you run out of stuff in your pockets and the swur don’t hand up what you want from the side of the road um so much goes into getting this race

Right well who’s going to get right from this group it’s more than a top five they want to be disputing uh to be fair let’s see um out front Matthew Vander PA with 3 kilm to go and a cushion of a minute and 17 it’s not a complex approach Robbie from now

On no complex is the thing it is the very least straight run in barely a a shift in the road left or right you see the finish line from a very long way out and I’ll I’ll know that every single Rider that makes it there today will be

So glad to see the Finish Line after what’s been an epic rondan it’s been remarkable it’s been great to have your good company thanks to Dan Lloyd to Adam of course on the bike to Philip J bear and annna Walker asking the questions at the beginning there’ll be more from them uh once

Indeed we close out today the great Robbie mccuan as well just feeling every pedal stroke and describing it to you and it’s been a privilege for me Caron Kirby to be with you and we’ve just loved the ride these days are always very long and if you’ve been here since

The beginning I don’t blame you there hasn’t been a moment’s rest bite in this race has there if anything this is the calest it’s been in a way because everybody’s absolutely exhausted but you said at the the top of the day Carlton that this is the type of race that really suits

Matthew Vander fast all day on the pedals all day never letting up so that the break didn’t get a massive Gap the peleton never really went into Cruise mode behind them and let them take 8 n minutes minutes it was always on there was always something happening and by

The end of the day it just becomes so fatiguing it just brings the best out mat pool he just sees the openings just come out in front of him say well this is now my moment I’ve got everybody where I want them and Slaughter time of the UAE Riders uh I suspect

It’ll be between poet and madoo depends what madoo the Portuguese has got left in his legs Michael Matthews I think will probably have the drop on those Magnus Sheffield great time trialist could kick on OE n well he’s um he’s also got a

Turn of pace at the end of a day such as this but it looks like it’s going to be a top five only favorite from the group that is chasing on being held in abeyance by 6 seconds now for me is LCA matato I mean that is phenomenal for him

To get over those climbs he’s got proper Pace about him in a Sprint he’s your man yeah I mean just a couple of weeks ago he beat Dylan Gruden in a Sprint finish by millimeters uh to win him uh bu de it can happen well what can happen

And what will happen we’re never quite sure this man never lacked certainty he’s got everything going for him including an amazing genan pool from which he emerged it’s a phenomenal Rider that you’re looking at Matthew Vander Paul he’s had the world in his hands on a number of occasions the rainbow bands

Tell you that but he’s about to join a very select club those who have won Flanders as world champion and he has done it not only that he joins another group who have won Flanders three times truly great Riders thrive on days such as this and under circumstances such as this

Everyone was trying to figure out a way to stop him Matthew vanol cannot be stopped and today was just not going to be such a scenario he’s owned the day and now he crosses the line earning our appreciation and our hearts what a rider and what a ride that was absolutely

Magnificent this brought me home he says no Matthew you brought us home to this position absolutely magnificent shapos well there’s prob in places to be decided and that battle is Raging just behind him such as his margin of Victory it’s giving the hosts here the opportunity to dwell upon him let’s wait

And see have bet on and turns held everyone in OB bance will Mazo have actually closed that Gap we don’t know hope we get to see it and here we are they’re just about holding on there’s a a slow motion bicycle race going on behind and here’s Michael Matthews as

Well he’s eating into this Gap could he possibly get Runners up spot bling is doing his thing at the moment it’s a closer this is going to be fantastic what a Sprint finale this is oh he’s going to have his heart broken mado’s coming through here Matthews he’s going

To get it on the throw he possibly can he’s just going to hold on oh I think he might be P by matato wow that was phenomenal what a Podium a photo finish at the last Amazing what a Sprint for second place and Matthews went from so far out to make sure that he get to betol and Dylan turns have had their hearts broken and then Matthew swung back to the right and actually impeded Neils pollet quite a lot then Mo coming out of the wheels and

Maybe just nabbing second on the line but in the end I mean I know this word is banded around a lot and thrown around Loosely but today I’m not going to I’m going to say simply mat vpol you are a legend
