    Who's in the break? What's the time gap? And other questions.

    Spoiler threads ain't what they used to be.

    Headwind and 110kms to go means 2 hours before anything happens, bar crashes.

    8 posts above, might as well be a million miles for some. :roll:
    Gap is 4 minutes.

    Afternoon.

    After 3 days of moving house crap I’ve cleared the afternoon to fall sleep in front of MSR.


    Last year was also a headwind according to Luke Rowe.

    Apparently Wisniowski has dropped out for Sky. He was looking strong in Omloop and KBK, wonder what happened - crash?

    It was Kirby who said it though so it was probably someone else entirely.

    Hang on its not Kirby - it's Matt Stephens and Rob Hatch.

    Praise be!

    So, in case anyone hasn’t been following ( no reason you would have) my main man is Groenewegen.

    I’d be super happy if Phil Gil won too.

    New sofa is comfortable.

    Boxes full of books are actually a functional tv chest.

    Whichever sprinter gets over the Poggio in best shape. Kristoff maybe?

    Not McClay, as he's just crashed with Simon "Si" Clarke.
