NOTE: Live Stream is fickle. Channel 3 is best if you can get it, but there are times when the screen is blank, while it comes in fine on other channels. If one doesn't work, switch to another until you get a channel that shows the stream.

GvA Trofee Standings

2. Sven Nys 102

3. Zdenek Stybar (Tsj) 89
4. Bart Wellens 81

5. Niels Albert 80

6. Klaas Vantornout 76

7. Bart Aernouts 71
8. Gerben de Knegt (Ned) 49

9. Tom Meeusen 48

10. Enrico Franzoi (Ita) 47


Let's see if Nys can break his run of bad luck as he draws close to the finish line. Broken pedals, broken chains, bikes pulled out from under him--it's all very dramatic, but it would be nice to see a sprint finish rather than these mechanically driven or error prone outcomes.

Let's also cheer on Jonathan Page. He finally clawed his way into the top ten today at Azencross Loenhout.

It's great to have Stybar back in the running. Two third place finishes after a stint away has him beaming with joy up on the podium.
