Yes, good race when I got round to catching up with it :)

Can't believe how Remco has hit the ground running so well.

Enjoyed the women's race too. Was so wanting Puck to win it, I love the way she tries to get the breakaway working when she's in it. Like Pogi I think she just loves racing.

Racing. Cycling's just riding around on a bike. And don't call me surely.

If the elongated cap fits!  ;D

Pogi's not lost it  :) Easy win in Fleche Wallonne, Mur de Huy suits his riding.

Plucky Brit Pidcock in third, glad he beat splitter Healy.

And a Classic Puck up in the women's race :)
I knew she'd got it in her.

Nickslikk2112

Can anyone beat Pogi? Well, yes! But not today. First man to six successive podium finishes in monuments.

Thomas Pidcock the pluckiest Brit in 9th.

Three Brits in the top 20, would have been four if Healy weren't a traitor.

Thenop

Yes, so I expected Remco to actually do something, be stepping out at 13km before the finish line? What's up with that?

Pogi's escape on the Redoute was inhumane, didn't even get up from his saddle. Scorching.

Too bad Puck didn't win it.. shame, it would have been a fantastic win for her.

Maybe the exuberance of being back racing has worn off

He just makes it look so easy.

Yet to catch up on the women's race, at least I still don't know who won  ;)

Nickslikk2112

Mads Pedersen pips WvA in the first Grand Tour stage of the year. Lidl Trek worked them over well.
Pluckiest Brit Thomas Pidcock in fifth.

Big losses already for Thyman Arensman and Derek Gee.

Looks like all over for Mikel Landa, nasty looking crash there.

Thenop

Landa looked bad indeed. Sad to see.
Tarling lacks a bit of stamina it feels, Arensman: different year, same start.

WvA always second.. and Denmark finally has a pink jersey.

Not sure what to think of the weeks to come, the big boys aren't there. Well Roglic is there but, meh.

Should make it more open and competitive especially with only three summit finishes.

Nickslikk2112

Plucky Brit Josh Tarling wins the Time Trial  :)

Rogla pips Mads Pedersen to get the Maglia Rosa, is that the start of 20 days in Pink?

Thenop

Don't think so. Pedersen will want to get it back tomorrow. And Roglic won't mind.

WvA very disappointing, I see him step out soon.

I know, if it were Pogi it might be a different story :)
