    Turner got payback on Remco, shoving him out of the way when Cosnefroy tried to go.

    Did Wellens sign an Ineos contract on the road?
    What a muppet.
    Ineos chalk up another win.

    thought they looked flat for a while and thought maybe they could have started attacking earlier, but that is the reason Im on the couch and not racing

    Well I seemed to have missed most of the race by tuning in at 15km to go!

    That's a superb ride both individually and as a team. Ineos have got it worked out so far this week.

    Cosnefroy takes second again, Boy Wonder not a happy bunny.

    Remco crying about being pushed to the edge of the road!

    That was a great race

    What's with the TV direction - not seen anything of the peloton?

    It's a 3 man chase group
    Yikes, missed that. What happened?
    Race was a bit hard apparently

    Pretty sure the mic picked up Sheffield say to his team mates "I told you I could F**king do it" and Pidcock replying about knowing he could

    Thought Sheffield looked the strongest of the 3 Ineos from a long way out, and they played it perfectly in the finish

    Classic Quickstep by Ineos. Used their numbers brilliantly.

    Well I will say it.
    Wellens cost Cosnefroy the win.
    Obviously this was why Remco was having a tantrum.

    Turner is my outside bet for P-R, I can see him being the sort of rider that could sneak off whilst the favourites look at each other.

    Correct podium ...3 strongest guys

    Disagree but I think Sunday will very much miss him even if he's there I doubt he'll be 100%.


    Is Yogi DS for the classics this year? Ineos really stepped it up

    That sprint wasn’t the straightest.
    I hope they don’t get stupid over it.

    These Ineos youngsters seem quite a tight unit.

    Nope, he's lead DS for Trinity Racing.

    They seem to have that wolfpack mentality. Happy, as long as one of them wins.
