Ha.
More that boonen is a lot skinner now, must have quit nutella.

Varjas it a total fraud. I'm surprised the LeMonds have gotten involved with him. He keeps talking about his amazing motors but they are complete vapourware.

Or ramped up the cocaine consumption.

I haven't seen the program but apparently it's vapid and evidence free but does do its best to point the finger at Sky for no reason beyond clickbait for the frothing masses.

Bugger, shame hope it's not too serious

His knee is a horror show. Poor guy.

Crazy seeing Tao sat on Contador+Quintana's wheel after TVG and others had already popped.

Omloop official Instagram doing it right; live videos from the roadside and interviews with riders before the start. Really simple stuff.

Boonen and Kristoff down!

Race smashed to bits already

Rowe seemed to struggle with the pace up the Taienberg.

He's back with Sagan and Vanmarcke now at least

Stannard back in too woot

Strong group - looks like it will produce the winner. Stannard chasing across according to the commentary.

It's going to come back together, too far out for the big names to go balls out.

And, as I say that, Sagan goes on the front and rides hard.

And they've disappeared

Single Sky rider trying to bridge across.

Sagan - swoon.

No-one wanting to work with Sagan though, Sagan looks disgusted but hey

Has Sagan gone back to having death metal streamed over his race radio?

Everyone else in the Sagan group sat there thinking "you're going to pay for this later".

I wonder if sky have turned up fatigued, still building. Hence Rowe struggling.

Sagan is just sagan. He's just a step above anyone else.

How ever many Sagan has with him he's always in a solo breakaway
