    Why not decide BEFORE they start. Rather than during??

    Bak still giving it large at the front. He's tough

    Never seen anyone blowing hot air into their gloves. Tough but sensible too if its that cold.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Stybar calls this T Shirt weather.

    Time for cav to get the cheque book out.

    Great discipline from Cannondale. they are still towards the front and standing out like a pack of highlighter pens against everyone else's black rain capes.

    Greipel has ALL his team mates plus Bak in the break. Looks like they win Belgian team of the day award.

    Maybe he just took a ride in the car for a few km, as getting a lift now seems to be a part of the race?!

    @calcrutchlow it's bloody bonkers... Mark could do with some support from his 'best friend'. Looks so grim.

    To be fair to Boonen, if my main goal of tge season was two weeks away, I wouldn't be doing 8 hours in the wet at freeezing temperatures. Especially not if offered a get out

    Crutchlow had a good day in the saddle. He came second in a sprint finish in today's RR on the IOM

    That's not a good look from Sacha Modolo - those long tights look a bit Borat.

    What time does the light start to go on the Med? They've got just under 50k to go and it's ten to five already.
