    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.

    My man Devenyns was back there as well with Paolini- Thats going to be the 1 & 2. 3rd step up for grabs

    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?

    Stannard, Blythe, Thomas & Rowe all in the front row(e). Still can't get over the rise of the Brits, this would've been a dream not long ago

    So apparently my MAN Blythe is showing himself. Easy Adam, you need to save something for the ladies.

    Oh god, yes there he is, spotted by his hideous shoes. At least I assume the Ulrika rider with hideous shoes must be my man Adam.

    I'm biased, as I have Danish Eurosport. But preferably not, it was some bad badness.

    My Man point of order: if your man is wearing the shoes, they cannot be hideous. They are possibly flamboyant, demonstrative, trend-setting or unique.

    Dangerous section here, should be scrapped

    I hate this corner, ban it.

    Devolder falling behind, race should be neutralised.

    So Carlton, if it comes down to G and Sagan today, is he going to do to him what he did to him? Hmmm... :roll:

    I haven't seen Sep near the front at all yet. Wonder if he's taken on board some of the criticism.
