Onto the Cauberg for the first time. No update on how Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) is doing or even if she is back riding as of yet. 

The race is now on the circuit. They will take on four and a bit laps.

80km to go

Crash!

The final climb before the circuits begin is the Keutenberg. As the gap between the break and the peloton is said to be just under two minutes. 

Now the riders start the Fromberg climb. 

It is a properly star studded lineup on the front of the bunch as the pace is very high. Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), Paris-Roubaix winner Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Brodie Chapman (UAE Team ADQ) all leading the peloton for their team leaders who are slotted in on their wheels. 

The riders are now on the Eyserbosweg. There has been no updates on times for the breakaway or even confirmation they're still out front. 

Onto the Kruisberg now. The climbing continues to pepper the course all the way to Valkenburg now. 

The pace is really on in the peloton with the bunch splitting under the pressure over these short sharp climbs. 

Interestingly, Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) is already working for Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes. It is surprising that she is working at all as it was expected that she would have a more attacking involvement today. 

100km to go

The riders are now on the Korenweg climb. 

Onto the next climb and they now come thick and fast for the rest of the day. The Bergseweg is the first of this group of ascents. 

The peloton are riding at the good tempo with the time gap not stretching out to the break at all.

Break:

There's been an update on the timings and there is a nine rider break with over two minutes on the peloton. 

Attack!

Onto the 300 metre long climb of the Adsteeg with its average gradient of 5.3% kicking up right at the end to about 9%. 

The second climb of the day, the Adsteeg, is just over 5km away from the riders. After half an hour of racing they have an average speed of 42kph. 

140km to go

Alvarado is pushing on and is trying to form a move over the top of the first climb.

AG Insurance-Soudal very keen on pulling Alvarado back into the bunch again as they lead the peloton. 

Attack!

Several riders have tried to form the early move but to no avail as the peloton remains stuck to their back wheels. 

The first climb of the day, the Maasberg, is just over 6km away for the riders. It isn't much of a climb at all but sets the tone for the 21 other ascents on today's menu.

No early moves coming from the riders just yet. 

An Easter treat for Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM-Zondacrypto) this morning. 

157.3km to go

Neutral start

After two years of suspension, Shari Bossuyt has been confirmed to be joining AG Insurance-Soudal in June this year...

The continuation of the Student vs Master with Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) as they go up against each other yet again today...

In the news recently on CyclingNews, Marianne Vos and Visma-Lease a Bike announce a contract extension to the end of her career...

Elisa Longo-Borghini of UAE Team ADQ comes into this race as one of the clear favourites, especially after her very strong performance in the Brabantse Pijl on Friday. 

Sign on is complete with all the riders getting ready for the neutral start... 

There is a superb lineup of riders at this race today with the absolute top names of the sport present.
