thought it would be here, turned out not to, just a description and in French only... maybe watch this space

Yeah, looked there (but thanks). Odd it's not up yet.

Booked a Hotel for in Mons. Not been there before and thought it'd be good to check it out. But want to get planning my attack on the sectors!

A detailed route and schedule is up on the ASO site a week or two before the race.

Thanks.

Well this is exciting.

Inside the last 40km at Paris-Nice, it's available on S4C through iplayer or sky.

sky channel 134, freesat channel 120

35 seconds ahead with 34k to go

Looks like they have clawed it back. This is going to be good.

I've got a quid on Dumoulin but I don't think he can win by 30 seconds now.

Arg, goddam Eurosport just logged me out and put me back on the Paris-Nice channel which was actually just an endless advert right as the AG2R guy attacked.

I sent them a message about problems I'm having with their android app - with their android app, which included a note saying it was the android app on an android phone - and they emailed back and suggested that I re-install Silverlight.

Oof. Cracked.

If he can bridge this gap with 8k to go he'll be a fucking hero

The ice-blue Ridley is nice

Wait a minute, why is Wellen's team mate helping chase them down?

9 seconds. Come on my son!!

Henao will hopefully get a sizable bonus for that.

Contador is such an exciting rider.

What a cracking race.

FUCK Yeah G. Makes the rugby loss yesterday much more bearable.

From Inrng:

"Gallopin tells Eurosport he chased in case of a sprint for the stage plus "I get on well with Thomas, we talk rugby, messages each other""

At least it wasn't because “He's just another Aussie, mate.”

I switched on at 20km to go and thought it was all over for G. I cannot believe he brought it back, he just did not give up. Definitely a good sign for the rest of the year.

He was only chasing to get to the first group, he'd have never chased to get in the selection and now sky owe him one too.

I hope he gets something back from them - I like Gallopin.

"no gifts!!"
