Lovely final and the winner we all deserve. I was not sure when he got that little gap at first, considering he had 3 reasonable fellows chasing him (and the 3 best TT riders in the world), but it still proved that good riders make a bad chase.

Did they go crazy fast?

Such a good race. Good to see Ganna on form too.

He lives on love seat

The jersey colour contrast was great today (with TP too in the White when they broke away) reminded me of Speedway cap colours.

Indeed quite special. Mondriaan predicted this podium.

Trentin not getting credit for causing the split on Poggio, just neutralised that whole pack by sitting up when he did. Was he fucked or tactic-ing?

100% tactic

Yeah totally deliberate. Very slick move and cut the group to maybe 10 riders

wellens/pog 1st attack was a bit of a waste directly braking into the corner

If you’d been listening to Our Aussie commentator’s commentary you’d know that’s normal.

And also how amazing Caleb is.

ah ok, anyone saw that Total Specialized with tyre off rear wheel?

Yes, would be scary going down Hessiers etc!

I stand by my “salty tears”.

Is Tiberi still cancelled?

Off to Belgium to watch E3 and Gent-Wevelgem. Will be on the Paterberg for E3 as we have done before. Planning to head to Ieper for G-W and just parking ourselves in a pub if weather is shite but up for hiring bikes if anyone has any tips on where to go by the roadside, let me know.

Just before the menin gate on the left there is a cycling themed bar . They will have the race on for sure.

Cheers, there's a place called biking bar which sounds like it must be that

On the corner about 100 yards down . Good veggie burgers and frites .

If I can Eurosport to work on gcn on Apple TV, is there any other reason to keep a subscription to discovery plus?

Obviously, after you pay £6.99 to gcn. Delete, reinstall, etc and so on for the discovery plus app, turn it on today - i can now watch all the racing from whenever. sigh.

Which is just as well, GCN is fucking shite right?

I can remember when you had to wait until Thursday the week after to find out who had won Flanders on the Sunday.

Are you sure you can remember?
You're pretty old now.
