Opening Up Another Gap UCI21-30
With 87 kilometers to race, it was Remco Evenepoel (Belgium) still pushing the pace and starting another break away. This time he was joined by Neilson Powless (USA), Mads Wurtz Schmidt (Denmark) and about six others. While it was great to see cycling fans all along the multi-lap course, it made me nervous. I am not sure when I will be comfortable with large crowds in this Covid influenced world. Not that I have ever been a fan of big crowds in my life. Having finished the first set of laps through Leuven, the peloton was now back on their way to do another Flanders circuit. It was nice to see at least one member of Team USA on the front of the race.
