    Teuns on that climb sailing past a grimacing Degenkolb looking effortless.

    MvdP taking the mick out of the two rejoining.

    He just looks so effortless doesn't he. Jesus.
    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.

    Narvaez surprisingly good in these races for such a small rider.

    (bless you Rick 🥰)

    Ok, found a watchable free stream. I assume MvdP is the white pixel...

    I think Adam Blythe might be the best co-commentator these days

    Lost count of the number of times I've sprinted up a cobbled hill so fast I've nearly not made the turn at the top ha ha...*sigh*

    Perhaps - although when he says “I was just looking down at my notes...” I imagine he’s perusing his post race Domino Pizza options. He doesn’t strike me as much of a preparer of commentary.

    Pidcock doing a good job. Chase group a bit too big maybe?

    I struggle to think how you could design a country more perfect for one-day racing than Belgium...

    Not convinced by the time gap, it feels slightly bigger when you get a reference point like a corner.

    Asgreen real power. Too late?

    Bit nostalgic for Haussler. Good on him (even if Asgren is doing all the work)

    Caught. Haussler is having a Stormer, didn't realise he was still riding.
