    Amazing lack of QS support for Boonen...

    This is what annoys me about these types of races. You can be the strongest rider but a bloody puncture can put you right out of the mix.

    Everyone knows Boonen has been the strongest today..

    With 20km to go, you would have thought that a big powerhouse like EBH or Boonen would just go for it. Do or die. Who cares if you blow. No more old school business now. Too much defence. Too much trying to 'hold' form for Roubaix and Flanders.

    Will Sky's marginal gains net Flecha his first win in such a race?!

    got to say the names on the sides of the Sky jerseys really show up well - great idea.

    I've got a shiny pound coin for any journalist who asks the Sky management if Flecha is still working with Luigi Cecchini...

    But I like him as a rider so if he wins I shall be pleased
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    He's not turning that well considering the wind...


    Peleton could still just get there if they keep the heat on.

    No Rabo or Q Step in the small peloton, so Cervelo can't close down on their own.
    I bet we'll have Roger Hammoaned, this evening, if Sky win.
