    Wiggins was struggling and now he is well out the back, then they

    took a break the moment they showed him struggling. His team

    slowed at the front and Carlton? said that is not what they were doing, bias BeJaysus!!

    I've made the choice to stay sober and go for a ride afterwards. We're getting our summer in Scotland this weekend.
    Snap! Should be sunny and a balmy 16 degrees come 4.30 in the North East so will be straight out on the bike.

    I'm just glad that we are going to get a real Flandrian winning this race when My Man from Leuvens Dries Devenyns, uses that pent up frustration at wasting the talents of an U23 Belgian National Champ for 5 years at Quick Step, and decides to channel an 8th place at last years Omloop to put the hurt down and drop everyone!

    Plus Kirby- "BMC look to have brought the strongest team, if you factor out Sky and Quick Step" brilliance!

    Sorry for the late join, I'm four hours behind the UK in Brazil, where its a balmy 25C and rising.

    Dries lives in Kluisbergen now, right by the Kwaremont. He has his own banner on a crane at the bottom.

    Hes one of my men for this year

    OK jasmine tea is not going to cut it. I've just realised I've got blinking Adam Blythe in the sweepstake.

    :cry:

    From jasmine tea to a tripel in five minutes? You obviously need it.

    Meanwhile my man Nikki is flexing his neck muscles ready to shake his head when Stijn Vandenbergh next does something stupid.

    Ha ha!

    My man Debu looking resplendent in the Belgium national champ colours. Rumour has it he bought the win but given Boonen has more money than he knows which car to crash next with, I dont think that rumour is true. Others say he was a profillic 2nd place finisher in the kermesses but no one ever knew much about him. That is because my man Debu has masterered the art of shadow riding - a skill available to the select few and taught only by one man: Si Gee No Neek. The connection between the two is not clear; I still search for that reason.

    For now Debu, forget the weight of the stripes and I dont want to see you until the last 20km!!

    No, he's alright it seems. I thought the pram might have been a bit full.
