Really thought MVDP would take it. He just imploded in the last 20 meters.
Pedersen is the best long sprint sprinter in the peloton

Dwars door Vlaanderen today. Maybe it is time for Wout to win with no Pog, MvdP or other big bois on the line? Lidl Trek of course has a very strong team again
Bettiol is second best bet. No one is beating MvdP.
Yep from no Pog to both Visma and Trek Lidl having much weakened teams to send everything has only increased his chances. But anything can happen and I'll be keeping eyes on up and coming talent like Laurance, Pithie and Morgado.
Kinda liking the Ineos duo of Tarling and Sheffield but damn, Tarling seems unable to do power any higher than his threshold which I agree is very high but not enough for any meaningful rise on the road and Sheffield is a very crash prone even for a Ineos rider.
With MvdP as the clear favorite his team has to do all of the work to control the race. All that has to happen is that a strong rider (I don't mean team leader) is in a big break and Alpecin could burn everyone chasing for 50k.
WIth 200k to go Alpecin has to already use their riders to control the race.
MvdP doomerism already?!
