Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Onto the Haaghoek once more with Benoot settling the pace, before Sagan comes through and takes a turn. There's a chace group with Chavanel and Moscon involved, and then the main field.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 The Moscon group has been caught by the main field with the eight leaders now 45 seconds clear with 34km to go. The race is well balanced.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 It's Theuns and Tosh Van der Sande in the counter attack but it's only the Trek rider who is working.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 The Lotto rider starts to work but the peloton are closing now as Reus starts to struggle. He has a mechanical.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Meanwhile Benoot is taking a huge turn on the front, right in the centre of the road through the cobbles. He looks strong but is he doing too much too soon?
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Three riders left from the earlier break and they're hanging on for dear life, making sure that they don't get in the way. There's another attack from Trek Segafredo.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 It's Jasper Stuyven who has the gap and he's about to catch Reus. The gap to the leading group is 45 seconds though. That's a hard ask to make up in th final 26km but he'll be hoping more riders make it over to help him.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 The Sagan group hold 50 seconds over the main field with 23km to go. The race is still wide open but the Sagan group is working well together, even having turns from the riders who were in the earlier break.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Oh how I love the spring classics. .Indeed!! Even the sun is out
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Etixx continue with their policy of containment with three men on the front. Terpstra is there.
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Four Etixx riders on the front now lifting the pace, Terpstra and Martin both there now.
Gen Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Four Etixx riders on the front now lifting the pace, Terpstra and Martin both there now.Those guys are just machines
Gen Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 See the Sagan group have gotten rid of some "passengers ".. and the gap now at 53"
Gen Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Etixx are charging on though .. shees.. what an incredible team
Eugene Oppelt Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Just Gougeard is left from the earlier break and with 16km to go the gap is at 53 seconds.
