Cycling Miserable image at 85 kilometers from the finish of the E3 BinckBank Classic. Sep Vanmarcke (30) in the canal just before the Kortekeer. Price is already over even before he really started. Gent-Wevelgem will Vanmarcke Sunday drive.

No, also in 2019 should apparently not, for Sep Vanmarcke. The leader of EF Education First was Milan-Sanremo left as it was from the week of the Flanders classics, to aim. To start with the E3 BinckBank Classic, the course where he was in his previous eight participations six times in the first ten finished. The course in which it is clear who has a starring role will claim in the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. There is the Vanmarcke mainly still to do. But that is now by bad luck so again on the slope.

Our compatriot came on a thin road after the Hotond at high speed overturned by a wave in the peloton. “We approached the main turn of the game. It was nervous, and I wanted to move. The road was descending so I drove 70 miles per hour. I hit by that swing of the road, tried as long as possible on the bike, but ultimately fell in the canal”, did Vanmarcke his story.
