    Tiesj Benoot put some power down with Remco on his wheel, but Remco didn't launch near the top.

    Viviani dropped from front, Healy and Lutsenko make it over to Mullen, but they've got about 10" on the peloton

    Surprising how recognisable some riders are dispite the kits

    Yes, you can often tell Healy because he's stuck on a potato hunt

    No-one from the big 3 teams in it, Fred Wright up there for GB

    That's a very strong chase group. No favourites but some crafty riders and big engines

    Coverage is shambolic. Lack of coverage of the front up Montmartre is a joke

    Remco's to lose

    Dreadful coverage, more interested in the crowd and wide aerial shots than the racing.

    Leon Marchand would have won this if he was less aquatically inclined.
