    The gap came down about a minute over that pave, so Brad must have been pushing it a bit.

    1km climb here, then a loooooong dowhill into ROnse, then the Kruisberg and then the fun starts!

    OK so let's cobble.

    Hi folks, the proper racing has returned. Do we have any roundabouts to worry about today?

    I'm following the race, sat in a bar in Thailand (I know, poor me) on my phone with no access to any live streams. This thread and the pitifully poor cyclingnews commentary are my only sources of information. Your updates are greatly appreciated.

    I'm boarding my loft - managed to get a stream up on my iPad up there. Damned if I'm going to miss the first proper race of the year while I mess up some simple DIY of a Saturday afternoon

    See, absolutely no mention of tractors on the cyclingnews feed. Pitiful.

    How come Matt Brammeier is wearing leg warmers? I've been on the west coast of Ireland in August when this would have passed for a very nice summer's day.
