ValvPiti’s out, Kwiak’s in so I shall just replace one with t’other..
the cobbles await
nibbles on the recon
s
ky chatting about an early shower 😉
wout looking confident
and thinking kerching with a good or bad showing 🙂
damp & chilly start, the peloton doesn't too keen to see bahrain merida going up the road 🙂
Great how the coverage is from the very start, although not much early action. I'll let it run in the background until the last 60km when I might start paying attention.
bloody sunday drivers !
obstinate peloton 🙂
sky are at the front of the peloton, have they been keeping their "powder dry" for today ?
cobbles on the kwaremont looked rough 🙂
ds's have cracked the whip on the peloton all on the drops and on the gas 🙂
qsf driving on the front after a big crash 🙂
the climbs are brutal but short, but having to keep on the gas over the top when well into the red must be must be a killer. still very open at the moment
Sagan's been sitting on wheels all day. My tip for the win. 😊
he's ever present just behind the front 3 or 4 of the group of favourites it's very ominous 🙂
here's terpstra!
I saw Terpstra win the other week. It'll be difficult for them to catch him.
qsf making the wc work!
your turn..... yeah but no 🙂
the attack on the Kwaremont absolutely brilliant! chapeau!
Mads Pederson!!! Awesome.
tough race
controversy in the mid week race
quickstep do it again
nasty!
you're out
team wolfpack
Interesting over the bonnet moment... 🤷♂️
You really have to give it to some riders who ride in the northern quarters, beware of parked cars and street furniture..
Good to see Nikki win, didn’t watch the race in the end.. even though it’s a favourite of mine..
Roll on P-R and my first ride in two years on the roadie in Rapha’s A Day in Hell. Should be a laugh.
is that quickstep on the front again ^ ? 😉
also see Geraint Thomas is in the sky roster for sunday go g man!

No discs ..
"A lack of cooperation? He is always on someone's wheel," Boonen said of Sagan, unafraid to criticise the world champion.
Boonen added: "I don't think Sagan really should talk about a lack of cooperation. He is the one who always starts to drag. He looks to see what is going on, and then he comes forward once and starts waving his hand. If you do that you have to keep your mouth shut."
Boonen, who won the Tour of Flanders three times and Paris-Roubaix four times, added: "He always tries to benefit from the work of other teams. There is nothing wrong with that, but then you do not have to say afterwards 'they do not work with me'."
Always a problem when DS's get involved in predictions.. the simple fact is Nikki will be marked, so too Sags...
Hope it doesn't end up in some odd bunch sprint ..
Any opinions on the winner yet ? (I know there’s a thread on it, but I prefer this one)
I’ve not decided yet, but I don’t think it will be a “favourite”
looking a tad sketchy
more showers forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning though quite warm @ 70
Awesome..🤩
Eurosport are screening the whole race, start to finish 🤯☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🍔🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Predictions.. sort of a mix up as to who will feature.. then my final winner....
Bozic, Perichon, Feillu, Gatto, Cort, Politt, Bak, Sieberg, Stamsnijder, Theuns, most of Sky at some point, Van Aert, Devolder, Naesen, Vandenbergh, Dillier, Konovalovas, Pedersen, Degenkolb, Oss, Bodnar, Vanmarcke, Keisse, Lampaert, Schär, Küng..
So, hey that’s a list. All of those guys will at some point make a break and try to animate the race.. which will open up the fractures. Notice no big favourites? They’ll mark each other down and nothing will happen. I predict Sags will get mighty pissed off and floor it until he blows or ends up in a ditch. GVA will follow Sags, the only real team to break thier backs will be Sky.. I think they’re out for a win. QSF will be marked down and hemmed in but I have my eye on Keisse and Lampaert because everyone will be too busy watching PhilGil and Nikki.
Final predictions ?
Van Aert top 3
Oss, Schär or Küng...
Very excited to see it on TV from the start 👽🤸♂️💥💥💥💥
