So, what did you miss?<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tour of Flanders<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Performance of a lifetime brought an amazing win to Philippe Gilbert. The Belgian champion attacked on Oude Kwaremont, 55 kilometres from the finish line, and managed to hold off all the chasing riders. It might have been harder for Gilbert, were it not for the fall of Sagan, Naesen, and Van Avermaet. The Bora-Hansgrohe\u2019s defending champion seemed to have collided with the barrier and took a hard hit. While Van Avermaet managed to get back on the bike fairly quickly and ride on, Peter Sagan was delayed and never managed to get back to the main chase group. Gilbert was able to celebrate by lifting his bike over his head across the finish line.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Goosebumps! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhilippeGilbert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PhilippeGilbert<\/a> wins the Ronde after a great solo! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RVV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RVV<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/live?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#live<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/flandersclassics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#flandersclassics<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCIWT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCIWT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nRmPh0sCkZ\">pic.twitter.com\/nRmPh0sCkZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ronde van Vlaanderen (@RondeVlaanderen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RondeVlaanderen\/status\/848557656277225472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 2, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI looked back and I saw that I had a little gap, but I didn\u2019t know what to do, so I stayed at my speed.
