    Geraint Thomas looks to be doing a lot of work for Flecha. Which is a shame as I'd like him to be Sky's number one rider for this. I really think he could do something good.

    Anyone agree or is he solely one for the future and should use this as part of his learning curve?
    Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!

    Too young for a 260km Flandrian special...

    Think of it this way: G-W and E3 are almost concluded at this point in the race. Here we have another 60km to go....

    He can learn a lot from Flecha < it's his 10th Ronde.

    Here goes the Cancellara express...

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Cancellara went in the same place in 2007 and it didn't work out.

    Then again, this isn't Cancellara '07.

    The question now is can Chavanel hold his wheel when he comes through.
