    Somebody better tell Stannard Roubaix is in France, or he's never gonna win it.

    It's over for the second group. Shack were too slow to send Rast to help Chavanel and everyone else is sitting on.

    Looks like it's between the 6, when Hushovd's little gang get up.

    Is the Sporza link georestricted? I just get a black screen. Watching on vshare but it's very choppy.

    There are 2 Sporza feeds. This one has been fine, since the start.

    That's the one I get a black screen with. I just tried it in Chrome, though, and it works. Cheers, I'll watch that instead.

    Due to a deficiency in their vocabulary or a refusal to acknowledge such a ridiculous concept?

    I have learned that they have three separate words that sound like "sh!t" and another that sounds like "b0ll0cks".

    I like the idea of words not in certain languages lol

    I heard a welsh person yesterday say "dum dum dum vegetable pizza dum dum dum two for one" and it made me chuckle

    Pobol y Cwm is not a comedy! :P

    Also no Flemish words for energy bars or low batteries. Which is weird. Presumably there are Flemish words for energy, bar, low and battery...

    Looks like the lead group's gonna stay away.

    Anyone reckon Stannard will win it?

    My money's on Flens from Rabobank. Stannard's doing more work than the other two and doesn't look as fresh.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    Flens is the better sprinter of the three, I think...

    It's between Flens and Stannard I think, Traksel looks cooked

    Not often you see a race with conditions as selective as this. Rollin in 6th is nearly 4 minutes behind :shock:

    Gap seemed to drop towards 40 secs but is now back up 44 secs.
    Horrible day - I was out in conditions just about as bad this morning with leggings, thermal jacket, thick gloves etc - you wouldn't put our dog out in it whilst they've all got shorts on.

    Yes. Sporza showed a replay of that and Boonan climbing off, outside a house for sale.
    I thought maybe he had a viewing booked.
