And then Godin's taking wind to his left shoulder.
And so then there's no time for Tarling to do a lead-out.
So then Affini finishes.
Tarling...
then gets jumped on the inside at 250 by Van Aert.
He then peels left, but Godin's not on Van Aert's wheel.
It's Bauhaus and Hofstede.
And so Godin gets taken left out of the sprint, and then Van Aert, yeah, wins the sprint.
So it just reminded me of actually when Laporte made that same mistake in the Tour de France 2022 when he took Van Aert around the wrong way, and Jakobsen won, I think.
Well, sprint ability and climbing are two different things.
Or general.
This sprint is better than anything we've seen in 18 months from van Aert.
Sorry, Paris-Roubaix.
I mean, yeah, this year, like... But, like, last year, he was getting rinsed in sprints by, like, punchers.
Yeah, I mean, with Defini and Hageness, we're all at the red carpet.
Yeah, he delivers and he wins a sprint by bike length.
So obviously, yeah, very, very strong sprint.
And maybe, yeah, maybe that opens different opportunities in the Tour de France.
Yeah.
Yeah, what would have happened in the Tour de France is Bert van Leeuwenberger would have moved up Merlier, put Merlier, boxed him onto Van Aert's wheel, Van Aert launches at 250 and then Merlier... Wins by five bylines.
