Or “Kash” as she is known to us monosyllabic anglo-saxons.

Apparently English speakers can pronounce this name too   Admittedly my first name would be even more difficult to pronounce

175k to go and the first three serious contenders for the title have opened the attacks already with Evenepoel, Cort Nielsen and Cosnefroy.

[heywoodu 16,004]

And we've got a group in the lead with quite some potential in it

 

Copy-paste from another place, which I assume is (at least mostly) right: Tratnik, Asgreen, Evenepoel, Bissegger, Demare, Roglic, McNulty, Cort, Haas, Declerq, Eenkhoorn, Swift, Hoelgaard, Cosnefroy, Erviti.

For someone whose career basically started after covid (?), Wout van Aert appears to have a royalty status in Flanders.

 

EDIT: Oh, right, the cyclo-cross.

Yeah, there already was barely any cyclist with a bigger celebrity status in Belgium (no matter the nationality) than Van Aert before the pandemic

Meanwhile a little over 20k left and there's 16 riders left with a shot at the title. Probably a little less, assuming Van Baarle, Bagioli, Madouas etc are focussed on supporting their leaders.

And that's it for everyone not called Alaphilippe.

Valgren and Stuyven going for silver.
