Tadej Pogacar, finish line.
With today's victory, Pogacar continues to make history . In fact, he's won the Fourth Monument in a row, and he's got 12 in his career. So it's closer to the brand of cycling myth Eddy Merckx.
Pogacar took the baton77 kilometers from the finish line, set a strong pace, and the platoon soon broke. Only 20 runners , including all favorites, remained at the head of the race.
In the absence of 57 kilometers to finish, another attack has been launched, followed by Mathieu Van der Poel, Wout Van Aert, Remco Evenepoel and Mads Pedersen .
In any case, the Slovenian has continued to work on it without stopping, and over the miles he has left behind Pedersen, Van Aert and Evenepoel.
Only Van der Poel has been able to follow the wheel of Pogacar, but he has become more and more forced and has yielded 18 kilometers from the finish line.
He has spent six hours and 20 minutes on his bike, and he has eagerly celebrated his third Tour de Flanders. He has already taken four monuments, and he has only the Paris-Roubaix left to complete the Palmaris.
Van der Poel was third (+33) and Evenepoelthird (+1: 10), followed by Van Aert and Pedersen respectively.
Unusual image and controversy
On the other hand, the Tour de Flanders has been an unusual event, and there has also been a controversy. In a runway,210 km from the finish line, the race has had to stop.
However, as soon as the barriershad been lowered, a number of cyclists in the front of the platoon, including Pogacar, Evenepoel, and Pedersen, advanced forward, while the rest were suspended, including Van der Poel.
So the race manager stopped Pogacar and the UAE team until the back platoon joined them.
According to the UCI regulations, a cyclist who does not stop at a step ata level may be punished, leaving him unable to compete for a month or with a financial fine.
