    Quickstep just get it right, more often than not. Well played
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Impressive awareness and road-craft from Nibbles to be at +0s on a stage like that.

  • Had lamb hotpot in a drizzly grey Cheshire No razor clams or crab !! first two days total team dependence thought it was a good spectacle. Belgium U 23 teams used to train in that area in the spring for the wind and relative warmth

    It was well done, and everything perfectly as planned at 2.5km to go, but I don't think the finish was even according to the QS textbook.
