    Right, Lange Munte is my cue to go and stand at the end of the road...

    Enjoy the finale kids!

    So, Stannard has to try and get a jump soon, surely, before they start putting the digs in?

    It was 24" when I posted it. Now it's 22" with 20k to go.

    Have to say it's not been a great edition.
    Same old attack, but even less resistance than normal.
    Not helped by Sep's puncture at the crucial moment.

    I think it's been pretty good considering it's 3vs1 in the front. Sep stole this race and made it pretty good.

    Boonen's blue S-Works is reet tasty. Nice to see it dishing out pain.

    Sep is helping Stannard a lot. No bs games from qs to deal with Stannard because of sep pressure
