    If he doesn't contribute, I hope G reciprocates, next weekend.
    Not sure he can. Roubaix next week looks like a pipe dream at the moment.

    Still no serious selection yet.

    Standard for this course. Koppenberg will sift a few. Kwaremont will be main selection. Paterberg will be the final shedder if anyone's gone too deep on the Kwaremont.

    Did Greipel eat three shredded wheat this morning?

    What's with the black flags along this stretch? Mourning Wiggins' PR bid already?

    He's chased back o after crashes twice though and done a shift controlling the race too

    Greipel lively today. Will he transform himself into a Hushovd type rider? Still looks too heavy to do it to me.

    G, Stan and Rowe keep shaking their heads on the front pf the group. Are they discussing Bradley's efforts?

    Right, Kwaermont tulip glass filled and ready. Let the race begin.
    About bleeding time.
    What is it a 60 Km cycle race. ?
    Practically the whole peloton arrived at the Kwaermont.
    This "Monument" used to be "Last Man Standing" but this new course has changed that.

    Wiggins had to unclip.

    G looks very comfortable but he's right at the front again.

    Since any reference to whatever badness people keep making vague reference to has been removed from google, could Eurosport just hire Harman back and have a competent commentator?


    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.

    Talent can be a *****.

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

    Eye nose that. Got bored looking for something I know nothing of!!

    Wow, thats pretty shocking if what I found is the real thing! Good riddance

    Any clues?

    G definitely going to attack HARD! And look at that champion teammate Rowe right by his side. What a soldier.

    Wiggins sucking the dust at the rear now.
