Imagine if they hadnt burnt Gilbert and Evanpoel 60km back because GVA has a massive ego?

They wont catch the front group now, not unless GvA starts working and we all know how likely that is.

Yeah I think the Belgians are hosed at this point. The front group is working OK, the Belgians are all near the front of the peloton, but the gap isn't coming down (maybe even the opposite)

e: oh it's just Wellens anymore

Always a good sign when at the front of the peloton there's one guy earnestly pulling, then two teams that have guys up front, then a bunch of randos who were just reeled in
