One of the riders ou💦t of the back is European champion, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protim🐻e).

😼The pace has completely dropped out of the peloton after the stress of the Mole💛nberg. This means the break get the gap above five minutes again.
Crash!
Anneke Dijkstra (VolkerWessels)
The Dutch rider went down in the middle of the peloton and almost took out Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime). This has split the pelot൲on but there's no stress at the moment so should bওe simple t close down.
Mechanical
Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike)
She wants the team car to come up but there is no way that she is getting any assistance for now with too many riders in the ga✨p.

Attack
Amber Pate (Liv-AlUla-Jayco)

Crash
Julia van Bokhoven (DAS-Hutchinson)
She appears to be staying down in the🔯 feed zone, unfortunately.
70km to go

Dropped
Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime)

Letizia Borghesi (EFO)
Noemi Rüegg (EFO)
Onto the Oude Kwaremont they go and Re💃usser comes 🍌to the front for Lippert.
Onto the cobbles of this famous climb.
Immediately, Hanson an꧟d Bredewold are getting distanced.
Fe𝐆rrand-Prevot leading the way and openi♒ng a gap a Lippert and Kopecky follow the French rider.
Paternoster bridging her way back to the leading trio 🌸with Niewia🐠doma also coming back across.
Kopecky is putting the pressure on the other riders and Paternost🦂er has been distanced after her big effort to bridge the gap originally.
Over the top of the🐽 Oude Kwaremont and there are four riders clear by just under 10" with Kopecky, Ferrand-Prevot, Niewiadoma and Lippert looking the stronಌgest on the road.
On the asphalt after the climb, there is a large group led by Pieterse but Van Dijk is looking 𒅌very strong behind as she continues to push hard to try and drag the leaders back.
Van Dijk was right at the back of the group on the Oude Kwaremont but ꦍlooked strong coming through the group but had too much to do to get to the front.
Onto the final climb of the day, the Paterberg. The four leaders have a ꧋gap of over 20 seconds now.
Niewiadoma pushes hard on the front of the l❀ead group as she de♓sperately tries to get a gap but she can't get rid of any of her rivals.
All fou💃r riderဣs make it over the top together as Borghesi is flying up the Paterberg behind along with Chabbey, Pieterse, Le Court and Van der Breggen. A couple of other riders may also make it back to that chase group.
10km to go
The four leaders have 25" on the chasers. They are workinꦏg well in the chase but the gap isn't changing.
The riders turn right into a block headwind. The gap has dropped to 19". Thiไs race isn't over just yet.&🗹nbsp;
An𝐆na van der Breggen is deliberately blocking the chase in the second group. Just to help her teammate, Kopecky, to have a better chance up frontꦆ. And it is working as the gap shoots up to 33".
5km to go
The gap is now over 40 seconds back to the chasers. This looks to be coming down to a four-up sprint despite Niewiadoma not having a fast kick in comparison to thꦇe three with her.
Into the final 4km. Kopecꦬkꦍy looks so smooth but Lippert has a very fast sprint and has looked extremely strong today.
Ferrand-Pr꧑evot is an unknown as🔜 we haven't seen her in this situation for some time and Niewiadoma will likely have to attack if she is going to win.
Now just 3km to the finish.
Niewiadoma on the radio 𒁏running through tactics for this finish as they go under the 2km ▨to go banner.
N🍸iewiadoma tightens the shoes but will need to go very soon as her s🌌print isn't up there with the other three riders, on paper.
Flamme Rouge!
Into the final kilometre as Kopec♓ky moves to the front and is then overtaken by Niewiado🔯ma. The stalling in pace now comes.
Attakck
Kas📖ia Niewiadoma tries her move but is immediately followed with Kopecky now being forced to lead with 500 metres to go.
Lotte Kopecky of SD Worx-Protime wins the Tour of Flanders for🀅 a record third time!
Ferrand-Prevot and Lippert round out the pod🐬ium with Niewiadoma in fourth and Le Court then leads in the second group on the road.
