    Sagan should be fine:
    I’m in good condition; I just hope my injuries from the fall in last Wednesday’s Brabantse don’t bother me too much: the bruises have gone but the scratches are still a bit sore, especially the ones on my back and thigh.

    Current weather is a balmy 5 degrees, Northerly force 3- 4 wind. Overcast with a small chance of showers. Lovely...

    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Just watched the start in Maastricht - bloody freezing with light drizzle. Roads a little wet in places. Quite a strong Northerly blowing. Will post some photos later....

    Bike club Carnage caused by the wind today! I ended up finishing back at the club house with 3 people when I left with a group of 30! I reckon Pozzato could have a shot here as this will favour anyone who can shamelessly do sweet FA until the bottom of the Cauberg!

    Good weather site for Holland - http://www.buienradar.nl/

    Pozzato will have a tough time winning this one. Especially as he's not there.

    It's been on ch-3 for a while. 85kms to go, a small group 5mins up the road, looks chilly, narrow roads, a few cheeky little climbs and lots of corners.

    Early report of fisticuffs in the break is confirmed, it was over when the riders should stop for a pee break. Not making this up. #agr

    Has this race ever been exciting before the 30km mark - crashes aside?

    Are there rules about a team car pacing riders back into the peleton?

    There was no question mark on my post.

    Evans has a way to go. Hope he pulls it out; I'm a big fan.

    Who are Astana working for? :oops:

    So is the big discussion point for this week going to be, why is Amstel a bit boring?

    Makes a change from sky criticism!
