    I really love this race. It seems to have everything. Beautiful scenery, interesting terrain, potential for adverse weather to turn it into something epic, a course that generally causes a selection to be made by the end of the race and then a brutal up hill sprint to finish.

    Definitely. It's a slippery slope. Essentially people getting offended and campaigning on other peoples behalves, who probably know nothing, or indeed care about it!

    I placed my bets for Canc on Flanders and Roubaix a long time ago, odds have shortened somewhat since then...

    Quite far out to decide that!

    He's a decent shout for MSR.

    He's still the best out there when he's fit, I'd rather take a punt and get decent odds than arse about 3 days before getting jack all back if he wins.

    Brilliant pictures (front and back) of Canc, Stybar, and Sagan on the final hill; and poor Brambilla showing quite how damned hard he was having to go - only to be rolled passed within last few hundred
