    Think they're just doing the Leberg and Berendries now, which means TV should start just in time for the Muur

    I once thought I dropped him up Shaley Brow... Turned out he snapped his chain.

    He also once appeared at my house at 2 in the morning with a lady of ill repute, but thats another story.

    Nuyens takes a break from restocking the bread aisle to tell us that the GVA thing is a load of nonsense, doesn't think any actual drugs are involved and doesn't see what the point of investigating it is

    I might be watching in HD on tv, but I have also found
    an excellent Sporza feed for those wishing to watch:

    http://cyclinghub.tv/livestream.php

    It is a little behind tv, though.

    Not easy to focus on the race but all he can do, he's happy to be allowed to start.

    That was about all I got

    Who is the young-looking Mark Kermode chap in the studio?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    I thought when I tuned in at 1330, I'd get a solid 45 minutes of cycling before the Warrington game was on... Thats going to start before the live coverage at this rate.

    EDIT: SPorza website promises live coverage from a very precise 1423hrs. They've got 45 seconds by my clock

    Haghoek part 2 coming up shortly. They've picked it up in the lengthy lull between Valkenberg and Kruisberg...
