I hate how the sponsors overlap when comparing years. Eventually there'll be one team, Fenix-Soudal-Quickstep-Visma-Emirates.

I do like it when Bettiol is on a good day. Must watch that later.

Lol, just watched that. He destroyed Bora and UAE. Must have been great to watch live as you must have thought that at 8 seconds they surely would have got him.

Just tuned in to a replay ofThe GP DeDenain. I knew nothing about it. Turns out it's got a bit of the Paris Roubaix about it, 12 sections of pave

MSR. The greatest finish of any race. With the dullest start. But you can’t have one without the other.
I love it, and am settled in to watch the entire thing live. The commentators really earn their money for this one

I like listening to Kirby and Lloyd filling airtime. They do a lovely job. Sadly that means that fuckwit Hatch will be calling the finale. It's time to pick a random language and listen to that feed.MSR. The greatest finish of any race. With the dullest start. But you can’t have one without the other.

As always, the greatest heart-rate raiser of the year! If only the race was 400m shorter, Pidcock might have done it

MvdP was the star for me. Chasing down one attack would have been impressive, but to chase down 4 (with 270 km in his legsAs always, the greatest heart-rate raiser of the year! If only the race was 400m shorter, Pidcock might have done it
), putting aside his own ambitions for those of his team mate whilst doing so? Absolute class.

What was clear though is that given the right team support - which he didn’t quite have on Saturday for various reasons - Pog is capable of winning MSR.
The big question then, could he win Roubaix and be on target to win all 5?

Tactical win by Nick Schultz at Volta a Catalunya. That region has some of the best cycling roads in Europe. It's always a joy to watch, jealous.....

That's why a lot live and train around Calpe but I prefer the Basque Country races and scenery.
Anyway another one-sided contest between MvdP and Van Aert in the big race of the day. RVV could be a mere procession this year if Visma put all their eggs in the Van Aert basket.

Sure to be a great race, stacked field , Jasper Stuyven not looking in bad shape just now but yeah those 2 are the favourites.

Good work from Lidl-Trek forcing MvdP to keep chasing. He must have been absolutely knackered by the end.

All set up for a nice RVV this weekend. Visma could employ the same tactic with van Baarle and Jorgensen.
Hoping someone like Bettiol or especially Lazkano can keep up and spring a surprise.
I've given up on SlowStep in the classics.

Yup, he proved that in Harrogate.

Well, I guess the result was predictable, but still impressive. It was clear today was his from the second time up the Kwaremont, he went past Mads as if he was just out on a Sunday club ride.

His team did so well too. When the peloton split they brought it back and then when Mads attacked Gianni Vermeersch actually began riding with him so all the other teams had to work to bring them back leaving MvdP fresh to explode up the Kwaremont.
As you say it was kind of inevitable but still quite a decent edition of the grandest tour.
I wonder how many more RVVs he will win?

This ia a bit odd. Rider safety has to come first, but…

Anyone watching tour of Basque Country? Roglic had a bad one yesterday. To add to this, there is a concrete ditch just after a downhill descent which he has ended up in. Vinegegaard also had a bad one a same bend. He is attended by medics and not moving. 
Evenepoel looks like he has done his collar bone.
Unbelievable unprotected concrete ditch.
Medics treating 3 separate riders who are still down.
