team. Possibly also worth pointing out that Milan Menton is in the green jerseys in the middle of the screen at the minute because he is where Paul Manet leaked the points classification but he obviously is in yellow. So Milan Menon is in that green jersey. Yeah, it’s a very dark green Scoda jersey in this race as well. Not like some of the lighter green sprints jerseys we get in other races. It’s a very dark green jersey. That almost sort of dark bluey green. Oh, the little hole on the inside of the road there. slightly rougher on the northern edge of this finishing circuit as well. The the traffic management in this race have been excellent. I did notice, I didn’t pick it out earlier, Hutch, you would have seen it, the white car that had been stopped coming the other way and it was nicely navigated around, but um this this national stage race here seemed to have been controlled brilliantly in terms of uh you know the lack of traffic related issues I think. Yeah, it’s been very well and it’s been very very well marshaled. We’ve sort of talked about there have been road surface and road works and things the race has had to go through. But it’s looked at at least from the perspective of watching it on on a screen. It’s looked as if the marshalling has been very good indeed. Paul Manet there in the yellow jersey just moving his way up the inside. Surfing right along the edge of the curb there. Slightly rough edges to the edge of that road as I say on this this kind of what is it? An like an access road onto the slightly more main trunk road here around the edge of Vanstra Be Street. Two and a halfk to go though Hutch. This is where he needs to be in prime position. Paul Manet and there’s a right old bubble of riders with other teams there trying to do the same thing. Milan Menon in good position. He’s got two riders in front of him in the green jersey. H and Paul Manet has four. So they look like the two strongest teams at the moment. I did think Lotto were really good yesterday. Yeah, I feel like Lotto have got there a bit too soon cuz they’re already pulling off. He’s now got one he’s now down to kind of one Leo rider in front of him with two with 2.1 km to go. So if that’s what he’s doing now, he’s going to have to surf the wheels. And there’s quite a lot of the Vizmissa bike riders back there too. I don’t think they are waiting to do late attacks. I reckon they might get behind Nicholas Barren a little bit more today if they can. So watch out for Bart Layman. Who knows? Maybe even Kan Elter Brooks. In fact, looking at the number of killer bees there, Kanto Brooks probably is involved in a lead out for Niclas Barons. I think he’s proved himself with a sixth and seventh the last two days. Barren is getting backed here and this is nice to see. It’s also the sheer pace today um of this, you know, hard to fling in a late attack cuz the um the groups going so quickly. It also looks like the white jerseys of Vieta Carrera Primac are also up there after yesterday’s fifth place finish by Nicolo Arieti. Good to see them looking to back I suspect him as well, but he’s also in the white jersey. Yeah. Yes, he is, of course, in the white jersey. Thank you for reminding me, Hutch. We’ve got again for the third day in a row, Eve Lampart, former Belgian champion, former winner of this race, going for this. And this looks like Nicholas Barren going early, right under the flams. That looks like a planned move as well. He’s literally seen the red flag, and it’s been like a red flag to a bull here because Nicholas Barren has got a little gap. I think he may have shot his bolt way too soon here unfortunately because he’s looked great in the last two sprint finishes inside the final kilometer. I tell you what, if he wins from here, that’ll be one of the best final kilometers we’ve ever seen. Hutch, but I think No, he’s not too soon. Too too soon. Too soon. Did never got the gap. Ah, what a shame. Right, there’s the lefthander. They’re through that neatly. It does narrow a little bit and he’s carrying on going as well. Barren Paul Man sitting pretty just watching this and Visalisa biker doing Sudow quicksteps job for them. He’s out of the way now. And here comes the final lead out. It’s going to be down to Drace Van Gestel. Van Gestto for the third day in a row does this. And once again, a replay of everything we’ve seen. Lucas Kubish ready to go. Does he try and go early? Paul Manuel. Paul Manet sitting in behind Van Gestto. This is the slight rise to the finish. D Van Gastel will keep going just as he did yesterday. He looks round. It’s the same thing. Three days in a row and it’s going to be the same result too. Paul Man extending his lead. Three wins in a row for the Frenchman. He told us when he came to this race, he expects to see four sprint finishes. Well, tomorrow is pan flat. Don’t be surprised to see four stage wins in a row for Paul Manet.
