BinckBank Tour 2017 – Stage 3 Preview
By David Hunter Blankenberge – Ardooie 185km The stage should follow the example of stage 1. The break of 4 riders will get away with ease, but never get a large gap. They are allowed to take the golden kilometre, before the bunch bring it back together for a frantic finish.
