PSA: Classics season starts this weekend

Annnnd I’m fully in RVV mode. Having done Hampshires Hilly 100 yesterday as homage to RVV and today 1hr of sprint intervals I’m in now and fully anticipating a cracking race.

Too early for Beer and Frites yeah ?? 😆

it’s never too early for Beer and Frites 😆

Leffe and Duvel being given a mild chilling at the moment.

not sure about the pedal damping on those sky suspension bikes seem a bit too bouncy to me.

brads grumpy now 🙂

Not got access to a TV at the moment, following it on Twitter, it sounds like Brad has fallen off the new Sky wonder bike and thrown it into a hedge…

Brads ditched the bouncer, quite right too..

Stupid idea 😆

The rest of the team don’t seem to be having too much bother with them. Reserving judgement til the end.

Wiggo back on a bouncer

Probably got told off by the Pino’ Management 😆

if you can’t escape bad drivers even in top events what hope the rest of us 😯

Absolutely, what a muppet!

To be fair the rider cut in on him. Both at fault. But the driver shouldn’t have been passing on a bend.

looks like a nice lazy sunday jaunt on the front of the peleton 😀

Watched them go by a while ago. The folks at the back looked like they were having a tough time as well. Impressive stuff

Another one! What the shit?

Neutral service car didn’t brake at all

ffs!

if the cobbles weren’t dangerous enough!

Not neutral service car – sponsor surely?

FDJ car stopped for their rider, neutral service smashed into the back of them

shimano neutral service car driver training

sky have wound up the pace now

lol

Race most definitely on now

g looks good

what on earth is the camera bike doing stopping there ? 😕

RVV! This is awesome, loving the Greipel attacks 😀

Also deflating barrier a while back. WTF is going on?

g looks good

Greipel? Thomas needs to lose him!

come on g

who is Griepel riding for ?

Roelandts

Whoever, massive respect to the big guy!

for sure, luke rowe is doing a big turn for g too

luke and andre hanging on in there

wow where did that come from !

Ooooof !!

At least I get Tepstra and VanAvamart in the top 3 !!

Blimey !

I’m shattered.. 😆

Kristoff fully deserved the win, Terpstra did nothing for last 10km

Great racing, shattered +1!

Can’t get over Greipel’s performance, incredible.

kudos to griepel, the big guy did well. You look at bmc and think 3 in the final group should have done more but the reality is they were probably hanging on by their fingernails 🙂

Wow that wasn’t how I saw it playing out.

As much as I like the Etixx shutout continuing, Terpstra rode that last 10km perfectly considering the predictability of Kristoff taking the sprint.

Sky seemed totally marked out of it.

Think they rode too much too early
