The Tour of Flanders takes place on Resurrection Sunday - an apt combination. At 266.5 kilometres, the race takes in eighteen hills and five stretches of pavé. Niki Terpstra goes after the front group on the Kruisberg with 28 kilometres to go. He gobbles up the leaders before he continues solo. He wins in brilliant style, while 22-year old Mads Pedersen comes in second and Philippe Gilbert sprints to third place.Read more »
