    One of the Aussie riders off the back was popping wheelies up the climb which entertained the crowd no end

    It looks like they may have cleared the road

    Nothing says 'fight climate change' quite like stopping people riding bicycles. Their messaging is so terrible.

    Greenpeace showed how it should be done last week.

    I think these protests are counter productive but professional cycling seems a more logical target than most sports. UAE, Ineos, Bahrain, Total all happily welcomed for the greenwashing.

    Belgium, then Denmark stringing it out again

    There's going to be a lot of DNFs here.

    Belgians force on climb, Skjelmose keeps them closed
    Rolf Sørensen thinks van Aert is trying to put Remco out the race

    Laporte puncture, game over most likely

    I'm now wondering if I cement myself to some of the roads around here, whether they'll be repaired as fast?

    May be an option 🤔

    Not really. Last two Worlds, Olympics, 21, Europeans, 22 Fleche Wallonne, 21 Lombardia
    Only two of these were won by one of them
