    I thought that. Pulls out of AGR citing fatigue and then rides FW. Odd.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Why is Sagan riding? Guy looks like he needs a rest yet seems to be riding more than most.

    Bit of a backwards move, think he's riding Liege as well? Not sure what the plan is there, I could understand Amstel where he's had good results before but this seems like overkill

    Still gotta get the miles in. LBL is a long long race.

    Just opened up eurosportplayer to find a "get to know Geraint Thomas" segment instead of the race, which he's not even riding (I assume).

    UK Eurosport among the heel draggers. Others were on time.
    Still, when Kirby has dropped in to honour the race with his intellect, maybe less is still too much.

    Going to be a very early finish.

    Yates, Pozzovivo and Kreuziger down and all banged up.

    Wellens worried he won't have attacked before 25km to go, so he goes.

    Took Begbie a while to get back up to position after his puncture; might be quite expensive.

    Kuchinsky ahead solo with Mojohric chasing.

    excuse spelling.

    It's 10km to go and it'll be the usual sprint up the Muur.

    Wouldn't expect it to be a sprint? Carlton the race is always a sprint

    Thanks for that deep insight Carlton.
