    I feel like I've just ridden it! Fair play to Ciolek.

    MSR - the outsider's monument

    Sagan took that up too soon.

    And Cancellara finishes on the podium again.

    Cav was 9th holding hands with Bernie across the line who comes in, in 10th.

    Wanted Stannard to win at the end, but I am so chuffed for Ciolek. Well deserved after --um-- how long?

    Glad Sagan didn't win.. But missed out on £110 from a free bet on Cancellara.. Not quite another second place though!

    Not even Flanders or P-R will be better than this. Ridiculous race.

    Great ride by Ciolek...

    Gutted for Stannard a bit but man that was an epic ride!

    MTN-Quebecca (sp?) must be besides themselves with glee.

    Man that was an exciting race - no a fan of Sagan but fair dos he worked hard & came in a close second.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Sagan's face as Ciolek crossed the line ahead of him. The look of disappointment.

    That threw up so many surprises. Cav makes it over the Poggio in the front group. Sagan pipped. Stannard confirms his status as a beast.

    As Andyp likes to remind me, I used to say he'd be better than Cavendish

    Pretty good race. Sagan did what he had to do, Canc seemed to have engaged his brain. Hat to Stannard.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.
