    These flouro shoe covers of Katusha's are awful. It looks like they've gone to the Sagan school of design.

    Kristoff's Neon shoe covers are looking shiny!

    Crossed the line 20s up on Machado. Was speculating whether that might be the day's best time. I'm not convinced, but it's quite a marker.

    But it's sunny and not freezing! Whoop whoop. I had to stop to take my shoe covers off. I had hot feet for the first time since August! All the fairweather cyclists have come out of winter hibernation, it was manic around the Haarlemmermeerpolder and in the duinen. :D

    Rohan Denis is currently leading with a time of 7'40"

    Yeah same in ZH. Manic people all over the place made it very hard to keep our thru&off smooth ;)

    Going north was just glorious though

    There were some right plonkers out I must say acting like flocks of frightened and unpredictable chickens. Anyway, yes, going north was awesome! Weeee...

    Can't say I agree. It's not the worst out there, but green and gold is never a nice combo imo.

    Ooo good time from Degenkolb. G into 6th second faster than Porte.

    There's still a few who could beat Dennis. I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of Kwiatkowski, Chavanel, Matthews win it. Wiggins is in with a shout but I think it's too short for him.

    Little Flower takes the lead, half a second ahead of Denis.

    Can I just say that even though I didn't pick 'my men' Kwiatkowski has always been one of my men, for like 3 years.

    Disastrous start to my PTP continues though

    Wiggo poor (I DID predict that)

    Wiggins comes in below G and Richie.

    Camera bike manages to do some damage on the run for home. Not sure what happened, appeared to hit something.

    Looks like Kwia's got this in the bag now.

    Was I the only one who went with Dennis? Pipped by half a second :(

    I don't care though because it's Kwia

    That's it, I'm going back to my strategy of only picking riders I actually like for PTP.

    What a weird ITT that was. Lulu? Degenkolb?

    Not uncommon on a technical circuit. That's why I picked Boom and thought it odd how many went for Martin (although he did better than I expected).

    You can, but you'll open yourself up to allegations of bandwagon jumping or worse, accused of having a lot of "my men".
