- 14 hours 49. Reynders and Vanoverschelde are familiar faces in the front. Yesterday they also made good weather in the flight from Dwars door het Hageland. Louis Bluwe (Johan Bruyneel’s nephew) was in the lead for almost the entire day in the Ronde van Limburg. With 24-year-old Reece Wood, they have a tall slender Briton who comes from Yorkshire by their side today. †
