Live on ES from 2.30pm.

Looks a tight, very technical course.

JTL and TV Tommy elected for road bikes apparently

Soupe in the lead currently.

    Compared to Roma Maxima, this is.............what's the word?..............boring, that's it.

    I think crap might be the better word. Disappointing field and a 3km prologue is too short for my liking. I'm sure it will pick up later in the week when JTL goes on a solo break through the mountains though :lol:

    Well I have been known to fall asleep in front of a TT or a 'boring flat sprinters stage' before but this time shuteye was achieved in record time. I watched Soupe start but I never saw him finish, impressive form from me! It took less than 2.9km and 3.38 (or somesuch similar time) to drop off. :( Woke up during the Sporza highlights of Driedaagse van West Vlaanderen, Nico Eeckhout in a break and Gerald Ciolek actually winning something. :shock:

    a sub 3k prologue, P-N? I mean, seriously, why even bother

    Yeah, good for Ciolek and the new African team. Dont know what's been happening with Cav after the Prologue at 3 Days, he's been silent on his Twitter feed for several days which usually means he's not a happy camper about something

    It looked a bit technical. I'm surprised that there weren't a few face-plants on some of those tight turns.

    Getting a bit sick of all this - it's not a spectacle - bit tough, dangerous . These are pros . A tracky won on a demanding circuit. Obviously you want straight roads and the expected to dominate? Get over yourselves

    And that bit of black sticky tape is the reason OPQS are saying the helmet was illegal?
