    Anyone any thoughts on Cannondale not riding?

    Seems odd.

    Never normally ride it afaicr.

    Invites are a North European affair.

    Ah so a much more pedestrian reason.

    That's actually a pretty cool advert, playing on last year's cancellation.

    Thom Thom should have this picture of Bak as his avi.

    I'm househunting in Gent tomorrow, so if I can find a bar with WiFi afterwards (as I don't have a belgian mobile yet) I'll do my best.

    Can I admit that le husband named his HtC phone Lars, after Lars Bak?

    And is it wrong to say I don't really like David's shoes?

    I laid in 8 quality brews earlier... But I'm not going to get to watch any of it on telly now. So I drank 6 of them.

    What? Shut up! You're the alcky!

    If you had been drinking them whilst watching the telly, what time would you have tuned in? :)

    From Inner Ring's bit, pre-game 'previously in cycling 2014' starts 1:30 Sporza time'.

    Fixed that for you.

    Noticed inrng's tip for the win - "Half of OPQS". Sounds about right - they can't all be marked out of it, can they?

    Excellent pre-race misdirection by OPQS. Everybody will worry about Boonen anyway, so there's no harm in giving them a few more reasons - marginal bobos LOL. Meanwhile Stybar slips away, and they're not bringing him back.

    To be honest with the strength of OPQS, every team will be monitoring all of them, which may let Kristoff slip away unnoticed.
