    But given who was in the front group, they would have chiefly damaged their own muscles for the rest of the race.

    For a while it was doubtful whether Porte had made the front group. A helicopter shot eventually found him in the right group but seemingly abandoned by BMC.

    BM had three in the front group, whereas Katusha had only one and Kristoff was in the second major group.

    EQS were nursing Kittel at the back of the front group. Too many passengers for Field Marshall Rowe.

    That'll be the muck from the unsurfaced road.

    Speaking of SJWs, is that Corsa advert suggesting that women can't park? Joel can I borrow your pitchfork when you re finished with Maria please?

    With 2.30mins over the peloton and 50k to go the break are obviously doomed, but Anthony Delaplace has given Fortuneo-Vital Concept the polky dot jersey.

    The standard of adverts has really deteriorated this year....

    (yes that really is the most exciting thing to talk about...)

    Edit - Sean has been reduced to reading from the road book (but he's making a balls of it)

    Bouhanni and Matthews very nearly crash, Bouhanni crosses line first but very clearly deviated to block Mathews

    Looks like Bohanni knows but lets see how the Frenchies deal with their own race

    Bonniface in 3rd. Big sprinters just dissappeared

    Nah, Bouhanni should be fine.

    Matthews was never going to win it anyway.

    Edit: Perhaps he was.
