    Kirby’s back.

    Seems to me he’s doing the lion’s share of the commentary, compared to Hatch.

    Any value in Cav not contesting this first sprint day at anything like full beans?

    He'll almost certainly ease off if the chance is going out the window. It'll be all or nothing, I seriously doubt he'll be worried about placings for green

    Lack of marshalling?

    I'm assuming Astana got blocked as only Ballerini is in the front group.

    Girmay takes it. No sign of Cav

    Girmay takes it, the crash really messed things up but made for a good finish.

    Remco desperately didn't want yellow.

    Thought I saw some of Astana riders delayed by the crash.


    Happy for Girmay though.
