    Nibali is looking like the best all round cyclist at present. He looks like an old hand on the cobbles. Has he ridden P-R in the past?

    Nibs losing FF style points for having arm warmers bunched up round his wrists

    Contador was doing that the other day so it's probably alright.
    Might actually provide some cushioning during a fall.

    Boom rides off on every cobble section without attacking. Needs to drop Sagan at some point - just not now.

    Canc keeping his powder dry.

    1'40" Nibs to Contador. And Nibali isn't finished. Already dangerous for GC, this gap.

    Nibali becoming a legend today.

    Nibs is riding himself into a decent lead here.

    Sagan happy to keep this group together...
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    If Tony enjoys this, 2015 Roubaix could be well interesting.

    He's been offered it before, but doesn't like the risk of the cobbles,

    I suspect Nibali would be quite happy to lose a couple of seconds to Sagan today in the circumstances
