West Flemish people go to Tour just over the French border

The stage started this afternoon in Lille, the finish is in Arenberg. Our team was at Secteur Pavé Numéro 7, from Auberchicourt to Emerchicourt. A cobbled section not included in the Paris-Roubaix route.

This morning the Belgians had set their sights on a stage win, so this afternoon they fervently supported our compatriots. “I let a Belgian win every day,” says Luc Eggers on the side of the road. “Preferably from Quick Step. It can be Fabio or Lampi. – Especially, he can say again, man, what have I done now? A simple one, how do they say it, farmers’ son from Belgium?”
