Iserbyt wanted to start on slicks, but was talked out of it by his team. Then started on grifo (intermediate profile). He said that the course changed in 5 minutes so he needed Rhinos (heavy profile). The team left thos at the mobil home, so they were ready for him on the last lap
Andreassen rode the whole race on grifos and he said he had no trouble with them
Gulickx was able to switch to rhinos and was happy with the tyre change

Jan Denuwelaere was 5:19 behind the race leaders when they started their last lap. That was about 75% of the fastest first lap 7:08
If the gap is over 80% the jury can decide to pull the rider from the race (rule 5.1.052):
The decision as to whether the 80% rule is to be applied will be made by the president of the commissaires' panel after discussion with the organiser. Any rider whose time being 80% slower of that of the race leader's first lap will be pulled out of the race. He shall leave the race at the end of his lap in the zone provided for the purpose (the "80% zone") except when the rider is on his final lap. At UCI world championships and UCI world cup events the 80% rule must be applied.
Jan Denuwelaere's last lap 9:08 is a calculation. He finished about a second behind Sven Nys after being lapped.
