VIDEO: Tadej Pogacar launches expected attack on the Oude Kwaremont, Van der Poel, Pedersen, Van Aert & Jorgenson follow closely

As is the case whenever he rides, there has been a sense of when and not if Tadej Pogacar would attack. At the 2025 Tour of Flanders this Sunday afternoon, the world champion has launched with 56 kilometres to go!

With powerhouses such as Filippo Ganna and Stefan Kung in the lead group, the peloton had every right to be concerned. Despite UAE Team Emirates - XRG working incredibly hard on the front of the bunch, the gap wasn't really dropping. In fact, it was actually going out every so slightly, with 1:15 separating the two groups at 65km to go. The sense of an imminent Pogacar attack was growing though, and with 56km to go, that move came!

It seemed the Slovenian wasn't going full gas though, as a select group that included fellow favourites Mathieu van der Poel, Mads Pedersen, Wout van Aert and Matteo Jorgenson all managed to lock onto Pogacar's back wheel. See the attack for yourself in the video down below!
