    WvA looks bigger than last year

    I thought that.

    His DS said he muscles very quickly and came out of the CX season 2-3kg over ideal weight. The idea behind some of the massive rides he’s done was to shed that. Not sure it’s worked.

    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.

    Let's say the only one of these three to get me shouting at my screen is Bernal

    I can't see Bernal winning this, but it would be very funny.

    Bernal was never going to be able to go head to head with those two on a climb that short

    Two really good races on that parcours today - that finish really keeps the suspense up if there's anything other than a solo rider getting there with a big gap, doesn't it? MvdP just monstered that last steep section though - good win.

    Man of the Match to Bernal IMO.

    Best ever British Finish for Pidcock, displaces the mighty Dan Lloyd!

    It's always nice to see GC guys mixing it in the classics.
