Jasper was on Merlier’s wheel up through that final turn, got crowded off the wheel, slightly boxed, and by the time he found a way out, Tim was GONE and home free.
The combo of luck, skill, and speed for Tim Merlier is unMATCHED right now. Good for him and well played. #BaloiseTour
Curled up on the couch, #BaloiseTour about to come on, let’s goooooo Jasper!!

Following from a ticker, I see Jenno Berckmoes of Lotto was the strongest in a late break at #BaloiseTour, with G2 Syndrome behind.
But Jasper still had a fantastic day, solidly in the chase group after a long day of work. He’s so much more than a sprinter.
Now to Brussels tomorrow! #JPDF
Jasper really did have an excellent TT yesterday at #BaloiseTour. Put a lot of daylight between him and the other sprinters.
Today is the Queen Stage, and last year he powered to 3rd here, almost getting onto the overall podium.
Sounds like he’s aiming to do the same thing again. Let’s go. #JPDF

Whoa, Pippo makes that time trial bike look like a toy! 🤯
#TopGanna #BaloiseTour
Back in plenty of time to see Pippo Ganna and Jasper, even after I showered all the crap off and got more coffee.
Woot!

(It’s already over 80F / 27C)
Jasper got blocked in, but found a way out and takes Stage 2 of #BaloiseTour!!
YASSSS!!!!! #JPDF
An INSANELY busy workday ahead of me today, so I'll only be listening with half an ear to all of the racing. I hope Jasper has a less heart-stopping day at #BaloiseTour and here's to a safe and exciting day at #TourdeSuisse.
My poor brain needs a break from a lot of things, LOL!
It looks like the Intermarche rider was pulling the opposite direction and might have clipped Jasper's back wheel. Somehow Jasper stayed upright.
At those speeds, that would have been utterly horrific. But he keeps the bike up. Someway, somehow.
My heart rate is through the roof. #BaloiseTour
A bunch more racing kicking off in the next 30min, but I’m out the door for an appointment, then a work meeting right after.
So I’ll just have to 🤞 for Jasper at #BaloiseTour today and catch up on some replays this afternoon!
