Nearly at the first cobbled section and every attempt at a breakaway has been closed down, will the first cobbled section cause a split

That's a pretty big breakaway, 11 strong but Ligthart maybe the biggest name among them. Less worrying to the peloton than some who tried earlier.
I won't be posting much for various reasons, but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I'm not looking at the men's race at the moment - keeping an eye on the women instead. It's looking like a phenomenal ride by Van Der Breggen. She's got a minute advantage with 14km to go. Just gone over the top of the Paterberg. Couple of teammates in the chase group too - should work in her favour.

1m30 lead with 5km to go. She's got it in the bag. Chase has split into two groups, neither making much headway, both being marked by Boels-Dolmans riders.
Apparently there was a big crash with 60km to go, took out Rivera, Hosking and others.

Tiesj Benoot's school essay he wrote 10 years ago predicting that he would win the Ronde in 2018...

Awesome win for Van Der Breggen.
Pieters led home the bunch for a Boels-Dolman 1-2. Van Vleuten 3rd. Moolman 4th?
ETA: Blaak, who led out Pieters, came in 5th

Leaders onto the Paterberg for the first time now. 52km to go. Really starting to hot up now.
Kwiatkowski looking ominously strong.

Noooo! That's disappointing. I was just thinking how well he's doing to be still up at the business end of the race.
Traffic jams on the Koppenberg!
