Ganna was phenomenal. If he could just go downhill a bit quicker…

It’s even more fun when the teams change name completely due to sponsor switching.

The Belgians are really confusing at that kind of thing. Deceuninck who used to be the primary sponsor of Quickstep are now the secondary sponsor of Alpecin and Soudal who for many years was the secondary sponsor of Lotto are now the main sponsor of Quickstep.
Also in the 2010s Omega Pharma headline sponsored Lotto and then switched to Quickstep.

I thought it might have turned out better but weird tactics from Quickstep kind of handed the win on a plate. I love races in weather like that.
Yes, this. It's a complete headfuck every year.

Great to see Pfeiffer Georgi take her 1st world tour win at Brugges Panne. Started on the track at Herne Hill aged 4.

They’re really not the classics team they used to be, are they? Presumably chucking most of their efforts behind Remco for GC duties…

pog gave it a good go trying to lose the other two on one of the cobbled hill sections but it wasnt long enough. Great to see the 3 of them battling it out.

I know Van Aert rode smart but I want to see action and will always cheer for those who provide it. Hope he gets outdone at RVV unless of course he attacks and then that's fair play but somehow I doubt it.

agreed. I love pogs racing attitude. he's never afraid to have a go. he seems a nicer chap than WVA.

It's ridiculous how strong Jumbo are and they'll have van Barrle back for PR and RVV - he came first and second on those races last year.
Another shocking day for Quickstep and moneybags Ineos, well basically a bad day for all except Jumbo.

that was the most powerful mountain finish I've seen in a while. It seemed like a sprint at the bottom of the climb.
Really want to go to that region nr Tortosa with Mont Caro. Here's the route
Roglic has had so much bad luck but now he seems tactically and physically better.

Riding into Fred Wright wasn't bad luck.

let's hope everyone else can get there act together to stop the JV boys.

The biggest race of the year, the grandest tour of them all.
Sadly Quickstep will be nowhere so it's up to Pog and MvdP to stop White Van Aert
