    Gaviria
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Autocorrect doesn't like Ettix, or Doull.

    Demare decided not to follow Gaviria's move

    Ettix, Gaviria goes to mug them with a long one

    Mugged them is right. Headwind killed the trains

    Didn't see any dd except him in the last 20km. Was a bit boxed in in the run in and I got the impression he wasn't really fighting for position. Probably trying to avoid any danger before next week.

    Sandbagging shenanigans like before San Remo 2009? :wink:

    Incredible strength from Gaviria into a headwind. It looked like he'd gone way too early and that he had to fade but even managed to freewheel I at the end!

    Glad I put a tenner on Gaviria for the worlds at 20/1 a couple of weeks ago.

    He'll be a marked man after that and not really got the strongest of teams to support him on that circuit. That said, with that power and strength he'll be hard to beat if he's in a good position with 1km to go.

    Looks like Douall will have nor problems making the step up to top flight road racing. Decent debut.

    He did well. But a 1.4km lead-out is a bit much to ask, as all the other Sky riders melted into the air

    Good to see Cav making an effort for those much sought after WT points for Qhubeka ;)
