Jesus that looks windy. Not sure that Wiggins getting into the team car and sacking it off bodes well for Paris-Roubaix tho
mental 🙂
All credit to Sagan and a few others to try to turn it into a race winning break though. If I was out for a ride in that weather I'd be stopping for a cafe or pub stop.
Never seen echelons like that before.
it's a bit

Is this thread taking over from the Spring Classics thread ?
If so..
The harder it blows and the wetter it gets, the faster the Belgians go 😆
Though I suspect the speed will be a lot lower today... May run over till tomorrow 😆
If we're doing spoilers.. Cavs already gone down the road.. 😕
I wonder if Geraint Thomas might be a good shout given the conditions today despite his exertions a couple of days ago.
Jeeeezzzzuuuuuz... are watching them being blown over ?
Thats not right, they're riding almost 30 degrees tilted into the wind 😯
22-1 for Geraint Thomas.

It's a horrible feeling too, gusty, wet & smooth roads, the bike gets shunted sideways without warning.

eurosport player has been well worth the £6 (or £4 if you sign up for a year) for the cycling this spring
Getting my money worth out of the Euro Sport app
Whats that all about with the tractors?
It's saying £4.99 per month for me, where is it annual subs?
G looks strong considering fridays exploits
lol, bike rage 🙂
G down 🙁
hope it was a soft landing for G 🙁
Looks like it, he's back up
looks like he's going to get back ! hard hard man
He made that look easy.
He gets a lot of practice falling off.
hell of a breakaway considering the conditions
Bloody hell - blown off the road!!! Great job to get back on. It looked like the other 4 waited for him.
That looks horrendous, proper phone-the-missus-for-a-lift-home stuff.
Is something strange happening with the timing, or is the bunch's time deficit going up at a similar rate to that which the distance is coming down?
Thomas getting blown off the bike. Holy moly.
hammer is down now
Which one is Hammer? Is he o.k?
G'wan Jurgen!
Can't see him holding them off but what a ride!
11k . go G?
They're at the "playing silly buggers" stage now. I almost want Paolini to take the win now
If he still had his full on beard he could walk it.
He does, it's just more aero now 🙂
Was it my imagination or was the thumbs up over Paolini's shoulder directed at Terpstra and Thomas in a "well done for worrying too much about each other lads" sort of gesture? Given his you race with your head and your heart gesture, I'm guessing yes.
I got that too "Thanks you two for buggering about". 😀
well timed by Paolini, tail wind pushed out the best attack distance to 5-6km
Hard as nails. The lot of them. Good to see Paolini take it, giving the time he spends doing monstrous efforts for his team. GT is looking to be one of the most dangerous classics riders out there at the moment. And Terpstra is as beastly as ever. It's only a shame there's only one winner.
