    Fenix should bluff it

    How common are fairy visits on this loop?

    Enough for Cav to have contemplated tubeless tyres for this stage?

    Ned seems to think DQS and other sprint teams are finding it hold to control a 20s gap rather than they simply don't want to catch it too early.

    There's been a Belgian conspiracy to sabotage the race by chucking debris on the road. :D

    Cav would have been happy if Geraint took a breakaway win! More like an excuse to help out without looking like he was helping.

    DQS not great in the last section again. HTC would never have been bullied off the front in the last 3km.

    "The Wolfpack" will always be rather cringe but the way they all ride 100% for each other is really rather nice. A proper credit to whoever built the team
