    Brian Smith ripping the camera bike, with good reason
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    It moved back to the inside, then nearly took him out on a corner...

    Is Michael Kwiatkowski related to former world champion Michal Kwiatkowski?

    Can you imagine if it had been a sprint finish on those wet pavings? Sketchy.

    Well deserved win that, went a long way out and looked pretty safe with 10k still to go.

    So did anyone see the attack that got him away? Was in an add break and I never saw it repeated.

    It was a slow grind away - he pulled across road and lifted tempo (as he and stybar had been doing alot) and for once stybar seemed fed up of always closing gap without help so MK just carried on riding. by the time stybar had help there was a gap and MK seemed to have just a bit more will.

    btw - the commentary free stream on eurosport player has two huge benefits; no f-ing calton kirby and no advert breaks. you really have to concentrate to know what is what - but frankly I am better at spotting riders than CK anyway

    Cheers. Saw plenty of slow-burn attacks like that earlier, you're right.

    The no-ad Eurosport sounds good, but I'm in Denmark, so get decent commentary anyway :-) When it's on TV2 it's even better, Rolf Sørensen is superb.

    So how do you get the commentary/ad free feed on EP?

    On the app/browser - look through the list of channels, there's the usual ES1, ES2, but further down they usually have the raw feeds from the broadcasters (obviously ES don't film and broadcast the event themselves - they take the footage from the race organiser and rebroadcast it with their own commentary). I guess they figure since they have bought the rights already they may as well broadcast the feed so people can watch it when it's not yet started on the main channel.

    During the grand tours they also sometimes have direct feeds from the different motos and helicopters, which is a really cool way of livening up a boring race!

    Cheers.

    Had noticed the UCI feed in the list, but had not tried it.

    You sometimes need to have a bit of patience as the feed doesn't seem to load straight away - but once it gets going it is as reliable as the noisy one

    I've not seen mention of Scott Thwaites's 10th place. Another good ride from maybe Britain's most underrated cyclist.

    I was already agog at Luke Durbo's result. When T'Thwaites came in I went even more agog. Seeing as everything has gone mental, perhaps I might go for Remy Di Gregorio for the win in P-N?

    It was great, wasn't it? The camera bike got a bit caught out by it!

    Stop saying "Turbo Durbo!!!!" :x
    He's been watching too much Backstage Pass...
    Carlton barely pays attention to the cycling he's commentating on, so I find it hard to imagine he watches any in his spare time.

    I really wanted Durbridge and Juul Jensen to pull something off there (obviously didn't really think either could win or anything) - I actually do watch too much backstage pass and Juul Jensen comes across really well. He did well to bridge across today and looked like he was suffering a lot, good ride I think.
