    I'll need a number between 1 and 25 and another between 1 and 7.

    Anyone else wants a My Man then fire away

    Dish dash complains Sep always sits too far back in the group & peloton. Since he’s mentioned it it’s all I see.

    Your Man is 26 DUVAL Julien AG2R La Mondiale
    That's suspiciously close to Duvel. You know what you have to do. Toast him, cherish him.

    Is it cause or effect of crashes/mechanicals? :?:

    Teunissen punctured. Team mate gives him a spare; obviously a bit nervous.

    Average speeds a lil low in first 3 hours. Below 45kph.


    Don’t forget GvA is never as good in the cold as he is in the heat.

    Expect to see more of EBH for similar reasons

    Jesus, the cheese, paté and salami are starting to kick in already. I've got at least 2.5 hrs more of eating.... I may have gone out too hard.

    Speaking of which, has anyone heard from emadden recently? :-D

    Keisse making the point last night he has no interest in finishing the race. Would rather be more useful for an extra 5km.

    Commentators feel QS have taken on a big job leading from this far out.

    Keisse's heard of Van Aert's no hand riding at the back and taken it as a challenge- now he's riding on front no hands and fart-arseing around with his cap

    As I recently and rather vehemently explained to the novelist Will Self, Julian Duval is my man.

    I'm expecting big things from my man Mark Wanty. I haven't seen him yet - or ever heard of him, but he sounds good.

    Your Man's face of impossible suffering every time there's a slight incline is incredible. Always looks completely gone, even when he isn't.

    Julian Duval, not to be confused with MY MAN Julien Duval, is apparently a werewolf, brother to Violet Duval and belongs to one of the five monster families that run Chicago.

    Thanks google.
