    I love the fact that Jumbo designated Spring Classics leader Boom got into the break, and none of the other teams were worried! Sums up his spring!

    It's got to be Gilbert today hasn't it?

    Hope not for my PTP, but he does seem to be on fire and it's his sort of finish.

    Love watching this race - done so much riding around that part of NL and occasionally spot somewhere I remember.

    I can't see the numbers in the peloton to bring this back. Gilbert, Henao, Benoot, Albasini in the front group.
