Alaphilippe sitting in the back, just hanging out?

EDIT: Wait, when it it they're hitting 200km?
Shouldn't that be soon?

When it's 68.3 km remaining, so still a ways to go

Oh, you're right.
I just get the feeling that when they get to 200km for a hard race like this, people are gonna absolutely explode.

I just read that Tommy Voeckler is the French coach which probably explains the tactics.

That's a wacky loving group. Every single team with one rider in it has got to be sweating bullets when they say "nah it's good, we have a guy in there"

e: except for Germany, because I guess Politt might the last man standing

Remco is still attacking, and might continue attacking even after the race is done???

His first attack was at 4 in the morning while the other riders were still asleep, and there have been 80 Remco attacks since then

There isnt enough firepower to chase this down if none of the other teams help GBR.

To be fair Evenepoel has got the beating of most of this group. Its a much better idea to be attacking now than with the previous group.

There's no doubting his power, but honestly that will always mean that I'll be cheering for the underdogs.

Especially the Mongolian rider who was in a breakaway at the start - now I just want him not to DNF. :pray:

Yeah same! But they just showed him as part of a group that I suppose was about to abandon

My prediction is that Wout launches himself into the front group somewhere on the Flandrien circuit and we hopefully get insane amounts of drama

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Been drunk in Leuven many times when my rowing club used to go once a year because that's where Stella is brewed. Would have been fun to go.

Oh man, this is the moment right here. The pace died down way before the climbs. Wout will either have to go or that IS the winning group

I think France will chip the gap down to about 15 seconds and Alaphillipe will go across to it at 30k or so.

Either that or Belgium will chase it down out of spite.
