The favorite list doesn’t make sense as it seem to only look at the ITT aspect
Thomas first of the route, making it through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’54
Vanspeybrouck next 2” faster 3’52
Harrison 4’07” not the best start
Kasperkiewicz new best over Trouée d'Arenberg 3’47 that is 5” faster than Vanspeybrouck
Insausti 3’58 trough Trouée d'Arenberg not too bad.
Vandenbergh 3’57 trough Trouée d'Arenberg not bad either
Nepomnyachsniy 3’58
Theuns 3’53 trough Trouée d'Arenberg a good time
Zepuntke passes over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’47 a shared best time with Kasperkiewicz, nice.
Thomas with first time over 2nd sector, 22’02
Burghardt over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’58, maybe a bit disappointing from the top cobbler.
Vanspeybrouck new best 2nd sector 21’59
Darbinyan, over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’55 a very good time from him, nice start.
Nolf over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’02 fine start from him.
Harrison, after a bad first sector, a fine Hornaing sector, 22’01 is not bad after that start.
Bolivar over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’57
Kasperkiewicz, new best through 2nd sector Hornaing in 21’17, really on fire.
Blythe through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’50 as you might expect a top time from this top cobbler.
Also shows just how great Kasperkiewicz and time was, not being amongst the on paper best on the stones.
Dahl-Olsen passes Trouée d'Arenberg in 4’00 not the best start
Insausti over 2nd sector in 22’14
Ferreira over Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’57 not impressive considering how strong a cobbler he is.
Vandenbergh over 2nd sector in 22’13 that is quite nice from him.
Gaday through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’51 that is a fine time not being a top cobbler.
Nepomnyachsniy 2nd sector in 22’09
David through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’58.
Theuns with a very fast 2nd sector, 21’48 at the Hornaing time check second best.
Cancellara with a 4’00 time over Trouée d'Arenberg not bad from him.
Thomas first to set a time at the 3rd time check in Orchies, 50’50
Zepuntke 2nd best time at Hornaing time check, even with a fine 2nd sector compared to everyone else he lost 9” to Kasperkiewicz, 21’26
Matthews through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’55 a good start from someone not a top cobbler.
Burghardt at the Hornaing in 22’26, a rather bad 2nd sector compared to all the mentioned riders.
Vanspeybrouck at the 3rd check in Orchies, new best 50’38 that was 9” faster that Thomas on the latest sector
Arissol 3’54 over Trouée d'Arenberg a good start for him
Burghardt losing quite a lot on the 2nd sector, his bad ITT shows with less cobbles included 22’26
Harrison passes the 3nd check in Orchies after a good 2nd sector a mediocre 3rd 50’59”
Bagdonas through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’56, considering not a top cobbler a great time.
Darbinyan at his 2nd check in Hornaing with 22’02 impressive from a rider like him not losing more on the most tempo rider friendly section
Kasperkiewicz passes the 3nd sector in 49’05 that is almost unreal, 51” faster than Vanspeybrouck just on the 3rd sector alone.
Kung through Trouée d'Arenberg in 3’57, being the tempo expert not bad on the brutal cobbled section
Kung was the last rider to be mentioned finishing sector 1, this was all the times:

Nepomnyachsniy over the 3rd time check in Orchies in 51’05
Dahl-Olsen 2nd sector 22’20 not a good 2nd sector
Theuns has the 2nd fastest time on the 3nd sector, passing Orchies in 50’11 really looking good so far.
Thomas first rider to cross the finish line 1h12’09 looks like he had a steady rider and could well deliver a respectable result.
Ferreira over 2nd sector in 22’24, with one of the worst 2nd sectors we have seen amongst those mentioned.
Zepuntke not unexpected 2nd best over 3rd sector with the times we have seen so far, isolated on the 3rd sector just 1” behind Kasperkiewicz. Totally 49’15 just 10” behind, it is not over.
Vanspeybrouck new best over the finish line 1h11’52 let’s see how far it will take him.

David passes 2nd sector in 22’24 not a good 2nd sector.
