    Why, oh why, oh why, oh why...

    ...don't they just switch to the heli shot for sprints?

    They did it at 4 days of Dunkirk once and worked well.

    Johannson seemed to mess up there. She seemed to come of Lizzie's wheel far sooner than she needed to having got herself into the perfect position. Lizzie is in great form though and an excellent finish to the race. Hopefully the men will provide a similar finish (and they'll have better camera angles at the finish line by then!).

    Right, time to tackle this Oude Geuze Boon that you've all been giving me scare stories about. For the BeerGeek it is from the 2012/13 season.

    What's the fuss about? Sure it's a bit more sour than the average beer but quite tasty really. Fairly fizzy too.

    I think it was the first sour I tried and it was a bit of a surprise at the time!

    Jink is legit. Duck knows what a ball of sardines is, though.

    Greipel has really impressed me the last couple of seasons. His main problem is that if he ever gets to a position where he can challenge for the win in a Classic no-one will work with him knowing he'll do them in the sprint.

    Fizz is guaranteed, from the bottle fermentation of mix of young (sugary) and aged (yeasty) beer.

    Glad you liked it. Others I know have spat Gueuze out, or likened it to drinking Saracens malt vinegar. :-)

    Very complex tastes.

    Stannard and Thomas keeping their powder dry, quite a long way back on the Kwaremont.
