Anyway, I'm enjoying Nokere Koerse. I never knew I'd say that in my life.

LOL at Ineos on today's stage. When was the last time they had no riders in contention 8km from the top of a climb?

Plapp was going to try GC but DNS and the rest of them are all coming back from time off the bike / illness.

Fair enough, but it doesn't look like his teammates would have been much help to him if he had started.

Off the top of your head, can you remember who won the Tour of Catalunya last season?

For some reason I think it's someone from EF but no idea who

Don't really care about the chippers

Did they win anything last year?!

I can't remember who won any race. I really don't care who wins. I enjoy the drama during the race.

Yeah, but it's one of my favourite races and I watched every stage, including the belter that sealed the overall. I realise it's not as highly regarded as, say, Paris-Nice, but it's not like it's a bimble around some rolling countryside either.

Plus Ineos won it a couple of years ago, so they've obviously taken it seriously in the past.

Fucking Catalunya. Have you seen Brugge De Panne today?

Don't be so rude. They won something today!

lol jakobson fucked it, love to see it

Same, but I don't know why?

Ex-EF but was riding for Bora-Hansgrohe.

I reckon Lefevre really doesn't care about the spring races being shit for his team now project Remco is delivering regularly. In my head him and Pog and Jonas are deliberately avoiding racing each other (When did they last race each other?) and next year will be the maddest TDF ever.

When did they last race each other?

Tirreno-Adriatico last year I think. That might have been the only time all three have actually ridden the same race.

If he could get rid of Alaphillipe's pay check he would be even happier I think.

He could be grand at gravel

Has Sagan bit him or something? Love it.

Rog is so YOLO right now 🤙

Best shitty named race of the season today.

Jumbo think they've won it already.
