150km to go
Crash! 10 riders down. Waiting for confirmation of who they are. It has also caused a major split in the bunch.
Onto the Lange Munte. The speed is really up as well as these first 9km see an average speed of 43kph.
Four riders had a very small gap on the peloton but they were swiftly dragged back.
Already, the riders are only 5km away from the first cobbles of the day. The flat but rather long Lange Munte.

While the men’s race is hogging the TV screens, the women’s race is not far off starting the neutral zone. Just over half an hour until KM0 and the racing getting underway.
