    Sure is Davey. That's the joy of cycling, you can like individual riders if you like. Or whole teams. Whatever floats your boat.

    My legs feel dead just watching them - who's most desperate for the win .... ?

    Who's the wheelsucker? Seems to me they're all three doing more or less their fair share

    Ah, there you are :-)

    He looks wasted though, that attack didn't have much in it.

    Stannard tries to use the incline of the bridge to open up a gap, but isn't able to open up a gap. Hopefully that wasn't a last throw of the dice..

    It wasn't he's going again and has opened up a bigger gap

    GREAT. The VS rider can't be bothered to close the gap for the third time in a row so Stannard gets a gap....and then loses it.

    Quite.
    I think a lot of us would like to see Stannard take it, but it's tempered the Skyloons.

    Stannard has a go...it's getting edgy.
    All about strength, not speed.

    Do you realize Traksel has been at the front the whole day, more than Stannard and Flens?

    Sannard is leaving too bigger gap between him and the rider infront and has just paid for it

    Yup, closing the gap finally to the lead 2 - get in there ! Does he wait for the sprint or put in a maybe final attack.

    I think Stannard is leaving too big a gap again, he might have blown
