With the peloton all back together having just caught Anthony Turgis (Total Energies), it was Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) using the second time up the Kimmelberg to push the pace in hopes of dropping as many as possible. As he looked back he found his teammate, Christophe Laporte, the only one staying with him on the slick cobbles of the fabled hill. Surprisingly, it was the sprinter Caleb Ewan (Lotto Dstny) who was the best of the rest. It did seem as though Ewan had a bit of trouble getting around the fading Turgis which may explain why he couldn't go with the yellow clad duo. As I restarted the race -after painting this I began to realize that I had just painted the winning move of this edition of Gent-Wevelgem.
