    Kelderman decides on a spot of veldrijden.

    Fun to watch, but I doubt that it's much fun to ride. Looks as safe as the B group on our clubrun, absolutely terrifying!

    This is what the cobbled classics missed - someone like Nibali. Marvellous

    They're thinking 'anyone but Valverde'.

    This has been a good last 20k, hope the next 20 will be good too.

    They'll be caught by the time they get to the bottom of then Cauberg next time round.

    I don't like the position of this new finish, I don't think, let's see what happens next time round, but...

    Nibbles not ready to give up yet. Puts in a dig. Big Tone just carries on spinning and Nibbles can't get away.


    In other news, why does Valverde always look like he has a dirty face?

    Nibali clearly doesn't think that Clarke is a good partner to go with and just lets him go.

    He always looks like he has 3 days worth of stubble

    Clarke recaptured, Fuglsang puts in a dig with GvA.

    Big attack from Fuglslang. GVA and Valgren latch on. Could be interesting.

    GvA refusing to work

    Time for "the same usual chaos of aero tuck bumper cars" as Cosmo put it last year...

    GVA with no need to work so I think this will come back.
