Up We Go
To paraphrase Phil Ligget, Ronde van Vlaanderen is a race with quite a sting in the tail. Virtually all of the climbing occurs in the final 70 kilometers of the long, frequently cobbled race of 264 kilometers. As per usual, an early break went off, but soon fell apart when these two, Lars Bak (Lotto Soudal) and Damien Gaudin (AG2R) road off the front and up the Kalanrieberg.
