Visma Lease-a-Bike: What a day! Won both the Men's and Women's. And lost their #1 rider for weeks. USA rider Matteo Jorgenson wins the Men's with an impressive attack, Marianne Vos survives chaos in the Women's to mount a 2-woman attack with 12 km to go. (You don't want to go into a two woman sprint with her!) And Wout Van Aert touches a teammates wheel, breaks a collarbone and several ribs. Totally sucks. I know. I've done exactly that.

I wish Wout could manage to ride a little smarter. He doesn't always put himself where he needs to be. This race he was behind his teammate - good. An acceleration happened. He yelled "Go!" to his teammate who went - but not as quickly as Wout and Wout touched his wheel and took himself and five others out. His wasn't the only collarbone. That's Cat 4/5 racing, not World Tour.
