    There's going to be an early break of second / third choice riders by the looks of it.

    I'm guessing they don't have cobbles in Ecuador, their rider looks way out of his comfort zone on that climb

    The concept of their being crowd chants for riders in Belgium is just so awesome.

    I think Pippa has a bit of a crush on Tommy Voeckler. Has he turned into a bit of a silver fox in his 'old' age?

    I'm wondering if he's freelancing as he wants to win for himself rather than work for van Aert.

    Not good for Moscon getting a puncture when the Italians are having to drill it on the front.

    Much as I like impulsive racing he really needs to use his brain more. Feels completely out of control.

    Despite how long he's been around, I'm still surprised to remember that Haas is Australian not American
