    Anyone know why Stannard got dropped back there?

    Thrilled for G.

    Got to say it, but piss on Sir Wiggo. They've got to go full-on for G now.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Thomas lit that race up and deserved the win.
    His attack made the break, then he just blows them off.
    Top stuff.

    Pure class that lad.

    That was the first time I've felt bad for Sagan.

    I think I'm going to cry. Trip to Flanders may be about to be un cancelled.

    Nah, G for Flanders, Stannard for Roubaix.

    The classics aren't like a stage race. It's quite useful to have several possibilities in the finale within a team. Just ask Devolder, Knaven, Tafi, etc.

    Sagan looking like he had Bambi legs coming into the finish there.

    Reaching for the gel @4ish km to go s'not the greatest sign (just saw that on the replay).

    Steady on, I'd wait from the letter from Oleg first.

    Fair point, but with the form he's in G should be plan A.

    Didn't he make that mistake in the Tour a few years ago too? The stage with the tacks attack.

    CN said something about Sagan getting his weight in beer at the start. Think he's going to be needing it now.

    As for G - delighted to be proved wrong.

    Yay! Great stuff from Geraint. I shall go to his favourite Cardiff curry house tonight to celebrate. (I was going anyway).

    Cycling Podcast said something about Sagan drinking his weight in beer over the winter.

    Has he gone and done a bit of a Boonen since moving to Monaco?

    It's not the one that got 0 out of 5 for the scores on the doors hygiene ratings?
