WVA continues his rich vein of form with a win in the Belgian ITT with the notable scalps of Campanaerts and De Gendt.

WVA won last year too.

The French National Champs are on Eurosport 1 tomorrow, Sat and Sun. I suspect it may be live from 1200 tomorrow (ITTs) and 1315 Sat (women's) and Sun (men's) but the EPG is sparse and contradicts itself. European Championships are from Monday, maybe 1330. All of those are also on France 3. Some regions of E1 show the Spanish Nationals Sat and Sun morning.

Arnaud Demare wins a great race in a sprint from Coquard and Alaphillipe

Man of the moment and new French champion ..Arnaud Demare took the win from a second place Cocquard and a third place for Allaphilipe.
He looks pretty unbeatable at the moment.

Beat me to it..did you watch it ?
Can't believe there not taking him to the Tour ☹️

Beat me to it..did you watch it ?

Yes. A really competitive race wasn't it.
Heavily weighted against riders who happen to be in a small team or even solos. Same in all countries but no team other than FDJ would have brought that break back

Pretty impressive how he held off Allaphilipe with his attacks.I think he's wasted not going to the Tour ..best chance of a French winner for the green jersey ?
