I believe it took them about a month in both 2021 and 2016

Can but Sweden and Spain (as the most likely top 2) will be favourites in their quarters.

- set up to be possibly the biggest clash in all team sports group stages (maybe along - in basket?)

Just the standard way IHF are doing it, not considering the level of the hosts

Vermeersch doing a great ob getting in the way for any collective chase

About 10km til the 2nd of 3 5-star sections and it's still a pretty large group though several riders have tried attacking. Mons-en-Pevele seems like the next big battle!

4-riders front group after Arenberg. Philipsen with a puncture fighting to hod on. 10 riders chasing. The chicane worked out fine, but it certainly helped that it was a pretty small front group.

Meanwhile with more than 50km to Arenberg the peloton is just about 30 riders after some echelons formed. They're just 15 seconds after the break

Most known to their families? Like a former RVV-winner?

Johan Søe has been selected for in the IQFoil

Skjelmose is selected for the ITT as well

Yeah. Hadn't seen who the UAE-rider was when writing. Absolutely agree. They even spent time putting some semi-dramatic music on the crash. I understand that it's hard to be a TV director in the situation. The race was neutralized for what, almost half an hour and of course something needs to be on the screen, but it was wrong. Give us boring pictures and not this. It seems like Vine was injured the worst, while the Tour dream should be alive for all 3 favourites in the crash.

And meanwhile a very bad crash in Itzulia Basque Country taking down several profiles including Vingegaard, Evenepoel and Roglic. Especially Vingegaard and a couple of other riders are looking very bad.

Mads Pedersen was down as well. That's two of the main favourites for the next two weekends. Jasper Stuyven to the hospital and Girmay might also very well miss the rest of the classics.
