    Really thought Stannard had that

    Me too. But never underestimate Stan's ability to come back.

    They were all just amazing.

    Where the bloody hell did stannard come back from there!!!!!

    Stoked for hayman. Apparently was at a hundred to one!

    The backstage pass should be good.

    My Fitbit heart rate monitor thinks I've been doing a Wattbike session after that.

    Speechless.

    How do one react to have seen his best cycling race?

    This is why this is my favourite race.

    I was shouting for Boonen in the final sprint but was then happy when he got beat, because the rider that beat him fully deserved it!

    That was like a million times better than Pais Vasco which was a good stage race.

    That was one of the best races I've seen. Great winner too, a career of working for others rewarded near its end.

    The look of sheer disbelief on Hayman's face...

    How the hell did he even get back to that group??

    Still shaking

    All that adrenaline has been good for my hangover. Nursing an absolute monster after the brewdog agm yesterday.

    I don't think I've ever seen a race as good as that. Absolutely unbelievable. A bit gutted for Stannard and Tommeke, but for Hayman to get back on there after being dropped...

    4 of the top 5 were on cobble/endurance specific bikes. Winner was on a Scott Foil- all of they're claims of how they have improved the comfort of the previous model must be true! Amazing race, any of that 5 deserved it
