Hitting 'em Hard
At the foot of the Kwarmond climb, it was Sep Vanmarcke (LottoNL Jumbo) who jumped hard on the pedals opening up a small gap on Stijn Vandenbergh (Etixx-Quickstep) and his teammate, Zdenek Stybar. Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) was just behind. Vanmarcke's move allowed all four of these attentive riders to prize out a gap on the peloton. Alas, the gap was closed down by Team Sky once over the summit of the berg.
