    Sporza now have the women's race on Canvas if anybody prefers to watch that...............
    Or streamed on Facebook (but annoyingly only if you have the Facebook app).

    Peleton are interval training at the moment. Full gas into the climbs and cobbles then tempo when they get there.

    Is there a lethal dose for calories?

    I've gone in hard with a Westie trippel. Duvel triple hop and standard stuff waiting in line.
    After that, anything could happen...

    Westie tripel. Possibly the greatest beer known to man.

    or woman :) actually I had one of those on Friday night as a build up, gave me such a headache yesterday morning. I might save the Dubbel till later.

    been badly organised this year, dont even have any Kwaremont set aside

    Corrected.

    I've never really got on with Kwaremont tbh.
    I'm on the La Trappe blonde now, trying to move up the peloton to get to the Kaizer Quint for Oude Kwaaremnont *2.

    No Belgians in my fridge sadly. 2x wine bottle sized 11% beers and a 10% imperial stout... might keep off those.

    CCC and Roompot shouldn't be allowed to ride the same kits...

    I've not really got used to CCC/BMC, this isn't helping!

    About 15-20 riders have a smll gap. It's a dangerous group. Moscon is in it.

    I only seem to be able to get France 3. They appear to be showing the women’s race in full.

    Rolf is slightly happier now. Has been moaning about Cort being too far back for ages.

    2 non Sky riders surfing the sidewalk in front of spectators, so they should be OK....

    Was out cold for a moment. Not in good shape. Seen talking to doctors, still lying down.
