This is what I call tactical suicide... Bastianelli won the Fiandre in a depressing final sprint.

Bastianelli was the best sprinter of the trio so I expected some attacks in the last km. Van Vleutern and Ludwig don't do nothing and both lost the sprint with an huge margin.

Van vleuten tried twice in last 5 km, but Bastianelli didn't lose 1 metre and kept the wheel of the Dutch champion without any problem.....

I don't say that Bastianelli didn't deserve the victory, Marta was just amazing and she do of course her best. We already know that Bastianelli can became a true champion. I just say that I expected s more exciting final

Wow, this is what in Dutch is called 'a sprint of the dying swans'  (a sprint in which everyone is utterly and completely exhausted and it looks like the most painfully exhausting sprint ever)
