yes - a classic typed too quickly with rainbows involved.
but as soon as Matty J gets across thats 3 lisa ...and EVERYONE saw mvdp's power - no one helps him in reduced splits.

Was that another crowd crash?

alpecin with 3 on the front including mvdp... it's looking pretty

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Did anyone else’s Flo Bikes feed drop out?

Yup. Flo bonked.

I'm not on FLO, but my feed is still up so it must be a FLO issue.

This is insane display from Mads. Wonder if they sensed the wind/rain and pushed all in early.

2 quick comments: i love that lots of dudes have been swinging at rainbows - but they're missing - can't afford that against him
and
looks eerily like 2018 worlds - people are going to wrecked for this last 70-75 minutes.

T Rex is in that front group! Big man.

The drone shots are awesome.

Bling hanging tough.

These guys are wrecked. Movistar the new Quick Step?

i predict some hiking on koppenberg...

And we are walking!!

Sick.

So impressed with MJ and Mads. Hard hard hard.

Morning all, and happy holiday(s)!

Can’t think of the last time there was actual rain at the business end of De Ronde, and i’ve been watching since 2010.

Morning @echappist! Welcome to a bonkers Flanders.

def kind of bummed about dwars crash. if MJ could keep mvdp that close....wout + kirsch + stuy.... bummer.
still the race for 2nd will be super hard man battle. lights can go out at any second in these conditions.

Yeah, going to be a cool battle amongst the humans.

Is it me or are spectators booing and throwing beer at MvdP ??

Look at Tiesj still there!

Edit: And I jinxed him. Puncture. He was the man this week.

Too bad about his flat. :(

Edit: And the team gave him the wrong FN bike.

mvdp is wrecked. he has to eat like mad just to finish these final 5k.
podium/ top 10 might be hardest ride these dudes ever do.

Can't speak to the booing, but certainly saw liquids being thrown at him.

What a crazy podium for Mozzato. Morgado with a brilliant finish too on debut. Everyone looked shell shocked at the finish.

His post race interview was pretty good and eluded to that.

Also for anyone who might know, at what point in the race did the incidents regarding the beer throwing happen? I didn't see anything.
