    Suck on that, losers.

    Embarrassingly easy for Gaviria and Quick Step in Colombia.
    Just embarrassing for Nairo Quintana and Movistar as he and half the team taste tarmac, about 6kms from the finish.
    However, it seems that as if by magic, he somehow managed to get back into the bunch before the finish. :roll:

    All seems a bit pointless when we can't use them for working out how many cobbled monuments Tomekke is going to win...

    This is why Qatar got cancelled. No point to it anymore.

    Echelon with 75km to go has caught out Bouhanni. Nobody apart from Quickstep seem overly keen to press the advantage now the route has turned into a tailwind.

    Cav no longer finished.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    And a 20 second penalty for Groenewegan for drafting a team car puts Viviani into race lead and Cav second overall.

    Kittel beaten by the boxer - he's finished!
    Great to see Cav open his 2018 account.

    Rick - from the photo it looks like Groenewegan was drafting his own team car which seems to be a big no no, whereas drafting other cars seems less frowned upon!

    I was only half-watching but Carlton (usual caveats apply) mentioned the guy who crashed was sticky-bottling past Cav who Carlton said was "relaying" back on. Leaders jersey and being at the same time as the split maybe counted against Groenewegan?

    That must have been a stormer for Bouhanni to get back and go for the stage ?

    Who’s this dude Jhonatan Narvaez in Quick-Step and how did the “h” become detached in his first name?

    Viviani takes S5 and the overall in Dubai after Bouhani crashed preventing Cav & Groenewegen from sprinting.

    Egan Bernal won col oro y paz by 9 seconds from nairo quintana after a bonkers final 500 metres of the final stage. Dayer Quintana won the stage. definitely worth a watch
