    Quickstep seem to have faded into the peloton for a while. Not seem them near the front for ages.

    the field is so much tighter in ability these days. the field used to suffer way more attrition earlier. it may be the better control tactically thou.

    More mechanicals for EF... undoubtedly a bottom bracket creak. My mates had 2 Cannondales and they always had that..

    Rolf Sørensen, again in non-Carlton mode, explaining the shenanigans with team car orders.

    If you've got a rider hanging around at the back he puts his hand up, even if he doesn't have an issue, and your car gets to overtake from 17th position to 1st.
