    I mean FFS, no-one's attacked over the Koppenberg yet. If Tom and Fabs were racing they would be on the last time up the Kwaremont with 90km to go.

    Think if win was awarded on TV coverage you would be winning ATC! Excellent 'my man' action.

    Oh my god!

    It's like wacky races. I bet Sagan's pleased he's been practicing crazy golf.

    Yeah. I tried looking for it but I'm still in the dark. Maybe he is too, with a damp cloth on his head!!


    Great commentator and often the greater the exhibition, the more tattered the man.

    The Oude Kaermont is rather narrow, so get stuck behind a crash and a rider's chance of missing a decisive break in the peloton on the long climb is quite high, so they'll be fighting for position now ahead of the start of the climb.

    Good job there was a tall spectator handy to hold up that collapsing airbridge.

    Was just sayong, to my wife who couldn't care less, that sky never put a guy up the road to male people chase. Every team with a contender except sky and Giant got a man In that

    Is my man Wiggins still riding?

    Last seen learning "shadow riding" at the back of the peloton from FF's man Debushchereysrechery.

    Looks like he's back at the front now, 3rd wheel.

    Spotted him, ta.

    Only just realised twiggins has never won the Brit champs.


    No good, apparently!!

    It can be found. You might need to spell his name right though, it's Harmon.

    Rumour has it that Pinarello will be designing a special narrow bike for these tight classics roads next season.

    Sky have lost control of the front at one of the key moments.
