    Have OPQS sniffed the wind at all yet?

    Cavendish has started featuring regularly - looks like both he and Greipel fancy this one.

    Aye, but they're making no effort to pull the break back. Other teams are doing the work. Good for them if they can.

    They've been canny, I think - it's only in the last little while that they've hit the front presumably to keep Cav up there on the climbs. Lotto similarly haven't done a huge amount of work.

    Realistically if Cav is that cold he'll surely not be in a fit state to sprint

    How the hell does a Rolex help you win at dressage? It's not timed.

    If he's in with a chance of winning Milan San Remo the adrenaline will carry him through.

    Points for Quigley managing to pronounce 'Kwiatkowski' correctly.

  • Can anyone explain why Trek don't just save a packet on hotels and only send Cancellara to the classics?

    Getting close to the Cipressa now. If the sprinters get to the summit in the front group then it's going to be a sprinters day....
