    Neutral Service will be looking for a new driver in the morning.

    Appalling driving. Hopefully Jesse Sergeant will be OK.

    What's neutral service's beef with Kiwis?

    I was getting cheese.

    Kristoff fell on Paddestraat, just getting back in.

    Sergent is in an ambulance

    Pelton has decided it's too early to gamble on attacks. I wonder if anything much will happen before the final feed zone in 30kms time.

    Did Wiggins get back after the split on paddestraat? Think the bunch has knocked it off s bit because half the field was caught behind that

    Was just about to write this.

    Sergent suddenly kind of swerved to the side of the road. Can't be easy to drive the cars in such chaotic races like this.

    Wuyts thinks Haghoek is the prettiest of the cobbles.

    Dutching, right there

    For anyone interested, the Stream on cycling hub tv is working better than any of the english ones on Steephill.

    He doesn't like that the Leeburg is afterwards though, 'cos he's rubbish uphill.

    If he feels that way, he can extend haghoek by 300m and go back on the N road to Oudenaarde which is a nice long (net) downhill. :D

    Edit: Huispontweg for me, since you asked.

    So many crashes already. Paolini seems to be permanently chasing back onto the peloton.

    Not many given it's the Tour of Flanders.


    Paolini seems fairly relaxed.

    Yeh, there's nothing to panic about. He just seems to be permanently at the back or off the back.

    Apparently he is known as a Meercat, and likes to hang around the back.
