    Sorry dvb 20 secs. Wellens and Mohoric make a move on the Muur. Can Laporte who’s 10 seconds behind get back onto them?

    Laporte does get on.

    Looking good for DvB then.

    Norwegian championships should either be Kristoff or EBH...

    It's just confusing otherwise

    Quite a few having to go down the hike a bike route on the Muur. DVB really does look superb on a bike.

    Can’t see them catching Van Baarle now.
    Laporte should also podium.

    Increasing his lead into the headwind is impressive.

    First bike race my daughter actually watched. Currently bereft that EF Education (the pink team) didn’t win.

    Not seen much of de Lie but that was impressive from him.

    Another superb ride by van Baarle though, he really does know how to ride to a solo victory.

    Li was impressive. Hope his knee is ok

    At least you have your Giro viewing secured.

    No matter how hard you try, the 'girls like pink' is so ingrained in parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, society ... it becomes inevitable that most kids go along with it in the first few years. Similarly boys and trains, cars, football...

    My daughter dodged the barbie phase, but most of her friends were well into it.

    First race I've watched this year. Can never get excited enough to watch TdU or the middle east stuff, just a bit meh.

    Really enjoyed that and must say I thought the ES commentary team were brilliant today.

    Dan Lloyd, Adam Blythe and Matt Stephens were great bouncing off each other. Refreshing not hearing that moron screaming like a banshee in the run in! I was worried he may 'take over' for the last bit of the race but thankfully not :)

    Didn’t this make it obvious?

    Let's face it, KBK isn't worthy of it's own thread, so I am putting the profile, here.



    Maybe the wind can spice things up.

    Jasper Philipsen down in a crash and now adrift.
    The Jumbo juggernaut have split the bunch in crosswinds.

    Jumbo go for a GWeiss with front 3 riding off the front and Mohorich manages to get on. Possibly Wellens too
