After the initial report by Casani, the UCI implemented an x-ray scanner for bikes. Prob not at all races but it was put in the rules.
There were a few points of note in the race this year. namely:
. soon after Sagan lost his wheel, a race MOTO split FC and Sagan.
. then once Sagan was dropped, he waited for Roelandts so they could 2-up.
. chasing pack dropped tempo a bit, evidenced by Gatto getting a flat and returning to the chase group, same for Thomas who crashed.
Seems once he went there was not such a hurry to catch him. Still, 2 mins faster from the top of the Patenberg than last year and he was in a headwind. over 49km/h for that last stretch.
That is fast.
Monster.
