    Good weekend for the Brits with Stannard and Cav both taking repeat wins.

    He's peaked too soon ;)

    If anyone needs a trim it's these two. Bloody hillbillies. This is cycling, not Duck Dynasty.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned but in the sprint about 5-10 riders back there is a guy in red having all sorts of moments. He weaves right, then swings left and almost collects the barriers. very odd!

    Bouhanni, looks like he caught van Asbroeck's rear wheel. Lucky to hold it.

    He did well to hold that.

    As for this face furniture, it's just not right. I blame hipsters, riding fixies with beards, no helmets and their girlfriend's jeans on ;-)

    Watching the full finish on the overhead, the guy in yellow (Daniele Colli) who takes out Bouhanni, previously takes out two other riders in two other separate incidents (an MTN - EBH?, then an Etixx - Boonen I think). He seems a bit of a menace.

    Nice win for Cav.

    Viviani moved well on to Cav's wheel but then when he went again on to kristoffs wheel, Vi left himself exposed to the wind.

    The Cycling Podcast tweeted answers to the main questions on this thread.

    On Cavendish

    The Cycling Podcast
    ‏@cycling_podcast
    More Lefevere. Asked whether he is happy with Cavendish, he said: 'Yesterday at dinner I looked at his ass and he is where he needs to be.'

    On beards

    The beards of Boonen, Wiggins and Eisel appear to be of uniform, Classics-standard length/thickness. #beardwatch #OHN

    Which coincidentally is exactly the same length/thickness as a fixie-riding, beanie-wearing, Shoreditch-dwelling barista #beardwatch

    Difficult to tell Eisel and Wiggins apart. But Eisel's beard slightly thicker. Millimetres in it. Tiny margins at this level. #OHN

    Stannard's going to do it properly or not at all.

    It IS getting hard to tell them apart. Wiggo's is less unkempt though but at a glance it's hard to tell.

    Cav with 6 wins - most of any rider so far this season.

    LOL W Peeters said Cav wasn't good enough to make it today and he was too small. But Cav said his team believed in him. Suck on it Wilfred.
    (unless that is his way of motivating him...never good to tell Cav he can't do it)

    So do I.
    That's the bit behind the church at Kerkhove which I've ridden when the RVV course passed over it.
    What I don't understand, that now the Pave is so smooth and Re Paved that they need to ride the mud path instead. ??
    However they could still include this Tiddler around the church to put some variety in this boring RVV finish. !
    Maybe even follow today's course a little farther over the railway crossing before a return to this RVV Finish. :idea:
