Chantal van den Broek-Blaak time-trials away from the field to take Le Samyn. A teammate (Majerus?) takes the bunch sprint behind, from Parkinson according to captions but commentators seemed surprised by that so nfi. Was it Kopecky? A bike(and so transponder) change?

Crash at Le Samyn! Two riders out, a De Cur Nick rider holding their arm and a Argy Der Sairs sat on the verge. Wasn't paying attention to commentary, don't recognise them and captions seem to be AWOL like for the women, although there is one saying 81km to go.
