    I KNEW that was him!! Damn I should have just gone for it!

    Cross/head wind on the last 13km, big echelon right across the road at 45kph driven by 2 crazy German youths. Not good for the small breakaway....

    So, everyone to sit on Fabian's wheel and wait, or do the van Avermaets, Sagans and Vanmarckes have enough confidence to make their own moves?

    Presumably quick step will launch Martin down the road on the second loop.

    Yep still no break and they covered 46.4km in the first hour, so it has been fast so far.

    According to tradition, beers may be opened once Geraint Thomas ends up on the floor. So you may now crack on.

    I'm assuming Thomas got bored of cycling and hit the deck like he normally does.

    Sep had s tumble at the back of the peloton. Nothing serious.

    Technically, Sep rode into the back of the peloton and fell off.

    I've actually forgotten who I chose for PTP, so I'm not going to find out and see if it changes my enjoyment

    There was a crash. Nothing serious for Thomas who rolled on to the grass and got straight up. Demare seemed to be worst off.
