    Making Vanmarke and Terpstra work hard for the catch.

    They are already knackered and Hagen would beat them any day in a sprint.

    Stannard may end up losing this for Sky.......

    Can't see the chase group getting back now.

    Sep knows how to sprint but his legs will be tired. EBH is also tired even though he has ridden most of the race on someone else's wheel.

    He doesn't know how to ride wheels and good on him. He will attack shortly and hopefully GVA's gears slip.
    GVA has been working for it, would fully deserve a win (as would Stannard, Boom, Terpstra, Vanmarcke and EBH...)

    See. Like it or not, earpieces affect racing.

    GVA looked pretty smoked the whole way. Not surprised Stannard outsprinted him.

    Good race that. Disappointed with Boonen but very happy for Stannard - rode that with intelligence and power. Looks like Sky have been working on their classics racing.

    Great win.

    Barely. And would have been a massive f'cuk up if they hadn't won that.
