Stupid ASO and their copywrite is shutting everything down.. try Sporza

What a chilled PRO

Dayer Quintana has a mechanical issue. He takes the opportunity to shake hands with a few fans on the side of the road.

A puncture for Wallays and the breakaway now down to 13 riders as we have two trying to attack off the front of the peloton.

['Dale]

Sky now to the front of the peloton, bringing back the two escapees. It is Christian Knees doing the pace setting and the gap to the favourites is now 2:08

['Dale]

Mathias Brandle beginning to suffer. He had a good effort earlier trying to get into the break and he's now paying for it.

Yip, if I'm not mistaken, this is the first ASO event of the season

And with that all kinds of restrictions

['Dale]

If it's dry, the speeds are higher and fatigue levels will arrive sooner

 

I reckon it'll be another small group of 8-10 or so entering Roubaix velodrome

 

The fittest and most saved legs selection in the peloton

The escapees are mid-way through the Quérénaing - Maing sector. A three-star, 2.5km ride and they look fairly comfortable. 

[Bonus]

115km to go

3min 46 sec gap

['Dale]

Wallays is still currently stuck in no man's land after his puncture. He's 2 minutes behind the break and 1:32 ahead of the peloton.

Grrrr 

 

Oscar Gatto reportedly out of the race after crashing in that same incident as Zurlo. That will be a blow for Sagan.

['Dale]

This break is really becoming a threat now

The favourites' teams will have to start pulling unless they're represented in the break.

['Dale]

Another crash and there is lots of mud on this sector. Porsev is down. He was in one of the earlier breaks and he looks in trouble.

['Dale]

Boy van Poppel was also involved in that incident as was a Movistar rider.

['Dale]

Van Keirsbulck is now driving the pace on the peloton and he's forcing some splits in the group. Sky, Lotto-Soudal, LottoNL, Dimension Data all making this front split.
