Neither Philipsen nor Merlier contested the sprint, I wonder what was going on.

"Looks like Hillingdon" comment is a winner

I did like that (literally)

Merlier apologises:

When are you taking the UCI commissaires exam?

I’d actually love to.

‘Vingego’. Eh?

Not feeling Nico on the commentary in Basque country. The number of new pundits GCN are going through is like when a mate discovers dating apps after years of a long-term and monogamous relationship. I just hope that in a year's time, they don't end up regretting it all

I like Nico’s voice but I’m not sure he’s cut out to be interesting on a transition stage across agricultural France.

Given the illustrations, gear, the level of responsibility, complexity of tasks and the title alone, I'd rather be a Marshal.

He'd be a good candidate for meditation and mindfulness apps

Why are Amstel Gold and Brabantse Pijl before Paris Roubaix?

so patrick lefevre can find an excuse

French Presidential elections tomorrow, so ASO requested a date swap with Amstel, which was agreed.

Ta. Shows how much attention I have been paying to both world news and professional cycling.

Literally everyone knows this

😭

Pidders going to win tomorrow then?

Not sure. This looks ominous

It’s the run off of the presidential elections to decide that Macron will face, in all likelihood, Marine Le Pen on 24 April. It looks worryingly close in the polls.

No spoilers (well, names anyway), but great winning move at the end of the women’s Amstel… also enjoyed how the third pace rider pretty much downed her beer on the podium, bet that tasted good after that effort.
