Brian?

I live 90 mins from Leuven. I’ll be down there tomorrow if I can figure out how to get near the course.

it’s a loopy one. Wout is the obvious choice.

Good to see the Irish lads trying to get into the breakaway

Rory Townsend made the break of the day, 8 of them with a small gap which looks like it could be the one.

Victor Campenaerts wearing glasses for once. Can't remember the last time I saw him wear any.

All the pressure on Wout, but look at the strength in the danish and slovenian teams, as well as Italy. Also, the question of Evanepoel and if he goes off-script is intriguing...gonna be an interesting few hours!

retalivity

Evenepoel and Cort on the attack, splits already, Jesus theres 170km to go!

Morris Garren

This is a great race already

This is a tasty group trying to go up the road.

This is great, Evenapoel arguing with everyone including DeClerq

You put the curse on him there, looks to have cramp.

So how many people have you heard pronounce it Leuve? Just one. Rob Hatch.

Richard Hillman

Magnificent racing so far. If you ever had Notions of duking it out with Pro Cyclists, this the one that will put you in your box.

retalivity

Cant wait til they get out of the city to the countryside loop again, its going to explode

Richard Hillman

Tim DeClercq is The Terminator

Apparently 2 of the Irish lads have dropped out according to PCS, I'm guessing it's Eddie Dunbar that's left.

Haven't seen him at all today though.

Morris Garren

Also, I didn't know that the race started in 'Antwerpaa' earlier. Amazing.

As for the race, it's amazing stuff. How many will make it to the final lap? And we spotted Kristoff there a few km ago. Now if it started lashing rain now, he would be my man

This has been an enthralling race all day, well worth couch time for the day.

Crowds look amazing.

I have to say it's the racing that makes a course, I enjoyed the racing over the week but thought the course wasn't all that. Today it's a completely different story.

G1032

What race. Epic stuff so far all day

breezy1985

I know I'll jinx it but it's great to see a crowd enjoy a race without being dumb cnt mankini wearing hazards that the GTs attract

What happened to Morhoric, looked like either he completely blew or had gear problems.

retalivity

Go on Lulu!

G1032

Allez Ala. Go on. Hope he holds on now. What a legend.

breezy1985

Everybody is wrecked

Remco won't be happy.

Nearly 30 seconds now, he's home and hosed now. Chapeau.

mewso

I hope at least Jasper can get the silver.

Some one threw water or something at him before the line there.
