user snoops any second now with painted lines

Ineos Classics team looking strong...

was there anything better than seeing remco boxed?

his tanty afterwards?

It's not as if he has a sprint to launch. He's probably secretly happy he has an excuse

quickstep, not a single result so far, beautiful

Has Remco ever done a race and not banged his bars at the end?

/ taps mic / ahem... ameco... is this anything

Shame Remco’s hissy fit will over shadow Sheffield’s win. Both he and Turner deserved a win today.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, you are correct.

Wellens relegated.

Just noticed Caruso is riding for team 'Italy' in tour of scilly, which seems to be mostly made up of Gazprom riders. Who gets the UCI points from his win today then, TBV?

Lefevre furiously checking the small print on Remco s monster contract for a can’t climb/sprint break clause.

user @amey come collect your lad he's clearly lost

Are they trolling Pog

Remco has apologised to Dov Ben Turner

Can't be Dov, Turner puts his nose in the wind.

I was thinking earlier how the accepted wisdom earlier this season was that Jumbo-Visma and UAE were going to clean up the big races between them. Here we are with just two monuments left this spring and suddenly their results are nothing to write home about and Ineos, who most pundits had written off, can't stop winning.

That is interesting. What’s the tally at the moment?

can't stop winning

Chippers

[Edit - before this is taken seriously happy to agree AGR is not a chipper]

UAE 22
QuickStep 18
Ineos 17
JV 12

How about the Tour of the Basque Country?

As much as I love Brabantse Pijl, and I lived not far from Overijse for a while so it has a special place in my heart, it's a chipper.

How about the Tour of the Basque Country?

I'm not sure about the relative ranking of one week stage races. The ones with prestige in my mind (could well be wrong) are Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Romandie, the Dauphine and Tour de Suisse. You will know better than me though! Ps - I also have a soft spot for Brabantse Pijl. Often seems to have a good finale.

No Moscon on the startlist this year.
