PSA: Classics season starts this weekend

otherwise for the current state of the race[/url]

Ok, thanks, how disappointing, I’m due out for lunch later, only subscribed for this.

Bums.

cracking along averaging 30mph+ for the first hour and a half 🙂

Looks like someone wants to make it hard! Who’s pushing the pace?

mixed bag of nine 8:15 to the good

Think my time prediction for the Rapha comp looks shot to bits. Bloody flying along at the moment.

Arenberg coming up!

Gets excited

frantic stuff in the peloton

ARENBERG!!

Where did SKY go?

smashed

what is wiggos plan to win this ?

you’ve got to be freaking joking!

holy smoke

That train came at the wrong time!

Shit, G’s gone down, hit a kerb. 🙁

g man 🙁

Would’nt be a race if he did’nt

Etixx nailing it, surprise.

Etixx have blown the main group to pieces. Stannard is still up there and it’s nice to see Adam Blythe in the break too.

I hope Zdenek Stybar gets it, the way Etixx-QS have just taken over at the front deserves a reward!

And make life as difficult as possible for Geraint Thomas to get back on.
Sagan is still up there in the main group too.

Yeah, you can just feel the selection building at the moment.

Go Stannard!

Sagan pushing on!
The crosswinds are combining with the pace to split this race into pieces. Actually quite impressed that Wiggins got back on but it’s split enough that he’s back in the 2nd chasing group.

Looks like a broken collar bone for Matti Breschel, that little fall on the cobbled corner…

Would think there’s going to be a big list of DQ’s over that level crossing incident 😯

Trying to find a live stream with sound on my iPad. Any links would be welcome.

Try http://www.steephill.tv , that usually has every stream available.

peleton is decimated. Going to be a great finish

Brads back!!

And there he goes!

and now he is off [ as in off the front not the bike]

Wow!

Wiggins attacks with 32k to go

Oh my word, surely not

Tactically very good, getting clear just as the start of that short cobbled section. Amazing how quickly he closed down Vandenbergh.

32K tho’ …

Interesting. Very interesting. Looks good too.

Still looks good for Kristoff though by the number of Katusha riders up there. Big group too for 30k to go.

Edit… has Stybar latched on too? What a time for a commercial break!

That bunch isn’t going to let him go though and Wiggins has now shown his hand, they’ll all be watching now.

Break is about to be caught.
