Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Gent-Wevelgem.
Cloudy skies and a breeze in the air this morning in Gent as the riders sign-on ahead of 249km of racing.
Not long until the peloton rolls out to start the day. Here's a look at the race map.
We have Patrick Fletcher and Barry Ryan at the race today grabbing the interviews and news at the start and finish. More to come...
🇧🇪 #GentWevelgem Look at those crowds 😍🇧🇪@GentWevelgem pic.twitter.com/ZOEIHqZ15AMarch 27, 2022
The riders are about to roll out for the start of the race now.
The race has begun and the riders will head through the neutral zone to start.
#GWE22 #RideforAntoine 🇧🇪Is there anything in Eritrea 🇪🇷 that looks like the Kemmelberg?@GrmayeBiniam 🎙 “No 😆” pic.twitter.com/2ot6540R57March 27, 2022
Simone Consonni stopped with an early bike problem in the neutral zone. No other problems to report yet.
Two riders haven't taken the start today – Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) and Tom Van Asbroeck (Israel-Premier Tech).
Race favourite Wout van Aert speaks at the start...
"There's not a lot of wind, but that's not necessary for something to happen in De Moeren. The hill zone is also a lot heavier than a couple of years ago. We're a team that wants to make the race hard today.
"It's a nice race because it's unpredictable. We are going to try to make the race hard – that is to our advantage."
A 10.3km neutral zone to kick things off today.
The neutral zone was a bit longer than that, though. The racing has just got underway now.
245km to go
Attacks flying at the start of the race but nothing has gone yet.
Still no breakaway at the front with riders attempting to get out of the peloton.
Here's what Lotto Soudal co-leader Victor Campenaerts said at the start...
"There's not a lot of wind today, so I'm thinking the Kemmelberg and Plugstreets will be decisive for the race.
"I'm feeling good. I hope I'll get to show myself during this race after I failed to do so on Friday."
235km to go
Still no breakaway after 15km of racing.
Some quotes from Tom Pidcock at the start today...
"I'm not 100 per cent but I feel good. Today the aim is just to have fun, enjoy the race and get stuck in really. Finish with a good feeling.
"I'm happy to be back racing in Belgium. Today the wind is a big part in this race. I don't know how strong it will be. It'll probably pick up later. I've never raced here so I think I'll look to the experience of other guys in the team. For sure, the race will be fast and hard and it won't be a bunch sprint."
A shot of the peloton rolling out at the start in Ypres.
Our compilation of quotes from the start is up.

All calm in the race at the moment. The riders have only tackled flat roads so far as the hills and cobbles await them.
Riders avoiding a cobbled sector here and racing on the bike path. It's illegal per UCI rules but with so many doing it, they won't all be DSQed.
Actually, checking the UCI regulations – it's legal to race on a bike path so long as the path isn't separated from the road by a 'kerb, verge, level change, or other physical feature'.

Here's what Girmay said after the finish...
"It's unbelievable, amazing. I cannot expect this. We just change my plan a few days ago on Friday. We just came for a good result. This race is amazing. Unbelievable.
"I don't think [I'll stay for Tour of Flanders]. I stayed here a long time – three months. I miss my wife and daughter so I go back home.
"Of course I feel much better but also there's really strong guys with me so I'm a bit afraid. But I felt confident in the last 250m. It's unbelievable, yeah.
"It changed a lot in the future, especially for all African riders.
"I lost many place, especially on the first section and on the first cobblestone. I felt a bit uncomfortable. But after i felt better and better, rode smart, followed. Then in the end you know everybody is waiting for Van Aert so I played it a bit easy."
What a race.

The final podium, with Girmay taking that history making win.
Here's what Wout van Aert had to say after the finish. His teammate Laporte just missed out in that final sprint...
"I think we raced how we wanted. Maybe I didn't have the legs of Friday. But still we raced aggressively, and we tried to go for the win all together.
"Setting up Christophe in the final in a small group was actually our game plan or Tiesj or someone else. It was a perfect situation and it's just a pity we missed out on the win."
What a day...
