Thanks BMMF, Pifko.. I feel so decadent. Slept in until 9.40..

I also feel a bit strange.... Without having to ride a bike, either indoor or out, I'm utterly lost.. Fighting the urge to do 30 minutes on the rollers.

Is this how normal people feel??

I hope not. I'd hate to be lumped in with those freaks.

Also had a lie-in - 8.45, very weird. Makes my back hurt.

Complete rest is great though. Best way to gather renewed reserves of oomph in the legs.

We talked about this Phil

Least intimidating picket line ever

Why the frig is G-W not on live? I pay Eurosport to cover this shit for me.

They'd only miss the break anyway but that's hardly the point.

Sky have rights for G-W, not Eurosport.

any live streams up yet?? Nothing working off Cycle fans

Interesting gang up front, plenty of big name sprinters there

but they're not showing it?

They are showing highlights on Sky Sports 4 tonight.

Sky have plenty of numbers up the front as usual, lets see if they can make it count. They don't have the firepower to win in a sprint

They've got two former winners in their team.

True in Eisel and EBH, but can you see either winning a bunch sprint against Cav, Greipel, Sagan and even Boonen? Maybe, but more likely finishing off the podium.

It's a funny race, rarely ends in a full bunch sprint.

Did you just see Gilbert riding without gloves? Fuck that.

Gilbert is nuts. full winter gear and no gloves.

Massive skirmishes in the wind.

Doomed Flecha attack!

drinks shot

Only rider wearing "just" knee warmers. A Spaniard. Flecha

Big gap, very quickly.

Only a 3 though. 45 seconds. That's not going to stay away. Peleton OS happy with that

Did you just see Gilbert riding without gloves? Fuck that.

was just thinking that.
Nails!
