    I do not want to keep seeing that crash, or the poor bugger being poured into an ambulance.

    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.

    I know organising races is a complicated affair but it's got to be better than this.

    I switched the player off 10 seconds before it happened.

    Middle aged women drivers.

    For a start she was driving down the course and then crossed over the road, without indicating, or obviously looking in her mirrors.

    That's remarkable. Looked like it was going to be terrible.

    Deceuninck - Quick Step are having an annus horribilus.
    That's potentially 3 big classics winners now out long term through injury.
    Today, Mikkel Frølich Honoré was 57th and their only finisher.

    I've never normally got any interest by this part of the season so Lombardy always kinda slips by unnoticed.

    Today, I was all set for it but Cornish 4G+/GCN failed me just as they got to the final climb.

    I guess it wasn't meant to be

    Bravo Jakob...

    the X-rays showed a fractured pelvis and a right lung contusion. Will surely miss remainder of this season.
