    Think road bike was probably the right choice as it's up a cobbled hill!

    Good, he was due a win after he rode so well in the Giro.

    A quality win from Linus too. Escaped 3up, attacked and distanced them on the climb on the 2nd of 3 laps of 9.5km finishing circuit and held on in the final lap.

    Was a good win too presumably as looking at the results he couldn't've had a lead out train of any sorts - only Dowsett and Froome were in the lead bunch.

    I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I saw Frank Schleck placing second in what looked like a bunch sprint....then I read the report and it all made sense.
