    Half of Movistar are out the back already.

    The nice neat town cobbles prove selective for a few riders - gonna be a long day for them. First proper cobbles coming in 20ish KM.

    April 1st innit?

    Surely that's the only reason Eurosport have given us Carlton AND Stephens*




    *Stephens can be okay, but he gets dragged down to stupidity levels by CK

    Vanmarcke down again - when it keeps happening it stops being bad luck.

    i predict a gently rolling peloton, a break at 5 mins and then speed up before the pave followed by crash number 36 today for Sep.
