Résumé de la course du deuxième Porc du jour :
Fabio Felline had the legs but was hit with misfortune when he was caught in a crash in one of the early gravel sectors. He needed a new bike, and with the team car far behind, it left him with a furious and neverending chase. Boy van Poppel gave everything in trying to help Felline, but the Italian would never see the head of the race again.
"I was in the front in one of the dangerous points of the race," explained Felline. "Some riders, including Quinziato (BMC), went down in front of me and I crashed too. The problem was I broke my shifter, and I needed to wait for the team car to change the bike. And so, I did the whole race chasing the front, but it was impossible to get back. So for sure, I was not super lucky."

Jasper, knowing his race was over, gave the last of his energy to help Fabio, who was clearly on a good day. Felline gave one last valiant effort in the final kilometers. He attacked and fought all the way to the finish, trying to make the most out of a frustrating day.
"In the last 20-30kms I tried one more time, and Luca (Guercilena, General Manager) was pushing me in the car, 'come on come on' to catch back as many guys as possible. This was my race – if you think about it, it was crazy."
Felline crossed the line in 13th place. After such a long chase, it was an impressive result.
Bon, ça va quand même lui faire mal sur les flandriennes ses problèmes de positionnement. Il était dans la chute sur l'OHN, aussi. Dommage parce que quel bourrin !
