    I can genuinely see the winner coming from that front group already
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Mitch Docker down in his last race.

    Oh and commentary bliss too!

    I watched the 2016 backstage pass again last night - he had a big crash then too!

    Surprised to see The Tractor struggling today. Too much effort baby sitting last week perhaps...

    Not easy to organise a real chase at the best of times, the big names are going to have to go on the offensive fairly early although the gap has dropped a bit.

    This is absolutely brutal.
    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.

    This is grim without the cobbles. I can see 30-40 finishers max.
