Now for the women's De Ronde.
Earlier in the day they showed Eliza Longo Borghini crash pretty bad, but they're on the Koppenberg now and the race looks to have settled down.
Rooting for Puck Pieterse and Kata Blanka Vas.
The status of Belgium right now #rvv #derondevanvlaanderen #tourofflanders #deronde
Enjoying a Kwaremont beer on the Oude Kwaremont.
It feels very appropriate.
Party atmosphere here! Waiting for the second passage of the men's race in around 20 minutes.

The very busy calm just before the men's peloton came through the #OudeKwaremont for the first time. The atmosphere here is incredible.
Flanders, you're looking extra beautiful today.

My heart is for Wout Van Aert today, but based on his performances at the start of this season (counting the cyclocross races around Christmas too) I think he's still feeling the repercussions of the falls he had last year. He may be physically recovered but he seems a lot more frightful of racing with the decisiveness required to be at the front of De Ronde at every step of the way.
Oudenaarde incoming 🙂
I think one of my biggest regrets from my years living in Belgium is that I've never went to see live the Tour of Flanders. That I've never really spent time to ride any of the famous hellingen and koppen sections due to other little life dramas that had my attention.
But today it's off for one more time, marking the start of the Cycling Holly Week.
Heute lasse ich wieder #radfahren 😉,
denn heute steht #DeRonde an:
Wishing you all a happy Ronde van Vlaanderen day! #DeRonde #RondeVanVlaanderen #RVV #RVV25
I'm getting excited! The Tour of Flanders is just over a week away 🙂
