    That old lady didn't seem to be moving at all, looked very nasty.

    Haven't seen it yet, was he up on the pavement or something when he hit her?

    Hard to know, they looked to both be on a central island.

    Looks like Wiggins has been appointed as Geraint's personal minder, constantly right next to him.

    Have forked out for a 24 hour Sky pass on my Apple TV to avoid Kirby's 'commentary'. Have to admit that their coverage is excellent with a proper studio introduction, analysis etc. Anyone know if Sky are covering Roubaix?

    Now that's how to unship a chain, the kids I coach are experts at that.

    Lots of Lion flags sans red claws. Didn't know about that until I saw it on Inner Ring's site

    Nice bit of bike skills there jumping onto the central reservation mid corner.

    Can't decide:
    Sky or Eurosport
    Chimay or Kastel.

    Right feed on TV, disasterous news about the Van Summeren accident and the poor old lady and Vanmarcke's exit.commentary is a bit painful with Backstedt.

    Haven't seen the collision with the old lady, but the picture looks horrible.

    Roelandts out probably, from a strange crash.

    Currently a massacre of the second favourites. Bad couple of weeks for Belisol

    That's the third rider from my fantasy cycling team to crash out.

    I'm doing almost as well as the Trek rider who managed to drop two bidons in the feed zone there...

    I'm sure Hatch said he was out, is that not the case?

    I'm pretty sure he was just caught behind a crash at some point.

    Early on, ES showed a compilation. He was holding his neck / collar bone.

    Boonen goes for an early one!
