    Quickstep are going to make themselves unpopular here. Roglic and leader back.

    Possibly plays into Cavendish's hands as no real chance for lead out trains to get sorted.

    Cav slides across the line on his arse after slaloming across the road.

    Cavendish didn't really sprint, then took someone out along with himself. Money lost!

    Roglic caught out cav up front

    Cav goes across, puts someone in the barriers who stays upright while Cav crashes. Groves takes the win.

    Couldn't be more madness if Suggs had got stuck inside a cloning machine

    Must be a few grateful to have been held up and be able to roll in behind.

    I'm amazed more didn't crash in the final sprint with the switching across the white lines.

    Actually crash wasn't Cavendish's fault. Was knocked by someone else.

    Cav clipped a wheel ?

    Remco doesn't seem to badly bashed up.

    To be fair to Cav he lost his back wheel, got it back then got cut by someone going across his front wheel.
