    Needs a big effort up the Kemmelberg next time to drop the sprinters? The lack of team support will make it hard for them to make it back.

    They're protesting at all the classics this year, because its the only way a bunch of farmers complaining about being subject to the same laws as everyone else will get any TV time.

    Roelandts drops Tjallingi and goes himself. Not a big gap though.

    They need a calendar like the farmers in Catalunya, give them something to do. Hanging out of your white blood sausage today for farmers in Catalunya.

    Certain chemicals being banned in food production, including pesticides. Not being allowed to build and plant whatever they want wherever they want due to soil erosion laws.

    Team leader caught behind after a puncture? Why not ensure the pace in the top group remains high by attacking?

    Vandenbergh jumps off the front, followed by Oss and (surprise) Thomas.

    Vanmarcke bridges up too, followed by Debusschere

    Ha ha. Vandenbergh's face when he put his earpiece in. Can you imagine Lefevre on the other end?

    Thats your move.

    Sagan, predictably, nowhere. Those years on a Cannondale really messed him up eh?
