    Someone might be in for a DQ from that running with numerous shoulder barges for no apparent reason.

    That was twitchy AF.

    Kristoff did so well to not go down on the barriers.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Do we know who the Bahrain-Merida guy on the deck with Groenewegen was?
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Massive wide boulevards on the run in to get things nice and fast then around a corner just as the lead out starts in earnest and the road narrowed considerably then narrowed even further in the last 1k leading to lots of contact between riders. Seemed a bit of a poor course design.

    It was recreating the erratic nature of Brussels well.

    At least 2 Ag2r riders hit hard. One Bora rider too.

    Nizzolo did well to suggest maybe leaving Cav out wasn't such a bad move.

    though of course had Cav ridden into 4th on that stage, it would be "Cavs finished, missed the sprint, got beaten by a lead out rider, whyd they bring him etc etc" :lol:

    Jumbo win both the Maglia Rosa and Maillot Jeune on day one...

    Fuglsang into an ambo at the end apparently.

    The only GC rider in the front group was Nibali.

    In 25th.
    Guillaume Martin finished 21st.

    The Bora rider on the deck looks like it was Buchmann.
    Cosnefroy and Vuillermoz potentially the two Ag2r riders.
    Looks like it could have been Dennis on the deck too, from the final classement.
