    Moscon will be glad to see the back on this sector.
  • Ineos have to take the blame for that rubbish bike set up. Absolutely amateur.
    Colbrelli wakes up as soon as he sniffs the front of the race.

    half wheeling is not a tactic or is it

    So if you’re MvdP do you trust the sprint against Colbrelli?

    Got to feel for Moscon, the puncture itself was bad enough but that spare bike probably cost him the race.
  • So how come MvdP shoes still pearly white?

    The difference in colour between the front and rear views is amusing.

    I wonder if it's deliberate in a typical Sky/Ineos kind of way...

    Stick more on the bikes! Pretty sure ho or WvA sprayed CX bike in furniture polish a year or 2 back and the bike was spotless, comparatively speaking

    Moscon looks likely to get caught by the WVA group

    i suspect it was a bike set up for the first 100k which is all they had left in his fit when it happened

    MVDP and Colbrelli to watch each other as Vermeersch rides away for the win?

    If I was him, I'd have thrown the bike in a ditch and walked off into one of the fields...
