Back Together RVV23-5
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) may have dropped the pair of Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) on the Oude Kwaremont, but they were able to get back up to him in a few kilometers time. The three went together up and over the Koppenberg, but it did look like Van Der Poel was having a bit more trouble staying there then Van Aert. He does have the honor of wearing bib number 1 as the defending champion of Ronde Van Vlaanderen. Will he have the legs to repeat the feat?
