    Erm, first action of the race with 13 to go.

    Halleluja.. It's a poor route and a poor race.

    Glad Fabian is winning, though.

    'Literally kill him'. Hmm, OK Dave.
    You might have had a response from a pro cyclist on Twitter, you may even have chatted to a 'journo', but ultimately, you still know nothing. You're not an insider, no matter how much you wish you are.

    Roelandts riding a smart race.

    Legs don't derserve to be there. Head does.

    Definitely, I thought he was being foolish but that was definitely wrong. He's ridden this very well.

    We can safely say it's not a chipper then.



    Y'know, given Sagan hasn't won it ;).

    That Moto screwed up Sagans chances then.
    Yep, nothing to do with his legs!
    Canc clearly stronger, but stopped Sagan getting in the wheel, which gives the follower a huge psychological advantage.
    Na, it looked like he was already well off his wheel by then. If Sagan gave up when the motorbike went through then that's his problem!

    Now while I don't approve of such tomfoolery I might raise a smile if such a thing were to occur :wink:

    Why is Sagan taking turns?

    Because if these 3 stay away he'll win a monument?

    If he takes a turn then he loses because Canc will jump him. If he doesn't take a turn then either Canc will drag him a lot of the way or they drop back to the main group and Sagan has a good chance of winning the sprint anyway.


    Hmmm. When Cancellara flicked the arm he should have ignored him.

    Think that's what they call a learning moment

    Stunning by Fabu - immense power.

    As for the race in general - 3/10

    Canc's ability to make time in the 300m post steep climb is uncanny.

    He'll drop you 30m from the top and be 20 seconds ahead 500m later.

    Not enough animal escapes these days. I always liked it when they had pony companions. Very dangerous of course but I liked the ponies, made me realise how fast they were going when I was a child.
