    Did anyone see the mechanic get hit by the team car?

    Edit - Was the Etixx car but seemed to be low speed and no injuries

    A bit of sacrilege from me. I've opened up with a German wheat beer.

    Can I claim it as a Tony Martin tribute?

    I did by accident.

    He'll beat Benoot though, he's abandoned.

    Crash. Not the Thomas/Demare one. One a bit later.

    Oh I saw that crash didn't realise he was the Lotto guy. Carlton must have missed it, shock.

    Bad times

    According to Carlton Kirby, Benoot is miraculously back at the front of the race. He's wrong of course.

    I'm sorry you can't dream big, rich. I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles.

    Oh Carlton....

    "Tiesj Benoot, very much part of procedings..." FFS.

    EDIT: Ah, we all heard that.

    Where's our resident Kirby fan?

    The first selection of the day has been made - and it's Orval.

    (Controversial as it's a Walloon beer.)

    That would be amazing. A real, F*** me, I didn't know I had Tom Boonen in my team, thought that was Merhadi Kudus!

    My sporza feed is now live for the rest of the women's race so I'm back listening to the gibbering moron.

    I guess he didn't take my advice to listen to race radio ?

    You'd think they could afford an intern who just had to keep an eye on Twitter and let Carlton know what was going on.

    43" between pelotons. That'll be why Tony was riding so early then.

    Ok trek are back in with the main group.

    Who spent more energy, trek or quick step?


    More worryingly, haven't seen anything of Sagan. When that happens he tends to go well.
