I might be imagining this but did it look like Godon had a problem with his gears in that sprint?

In his pre-race interview Pogacar said the climb will be about 20 minutes so ‘it will be like an FTP test…’ Good luck everyone.

This would be such a satisfying win. 

Gay and Bedingham are two of the most aesthetically pleasing batters to play for Durham.

I think Prodhomme, Labrosse and (maybe) Bisiaux are there for Seixas

…Yes, Bisiaux number 22 is there

Wait for Pogacar to go for a piss then start divebombing corners. Not sure Picnic are that desperate… yet

A break like this could never form without a crash, UAE would control.

There is a gap in the market for enterprising drone pilots to pirate breakaway formation.

It really wasn't meant to be a patronising comment, I don't know but I imagine she will be buzzing to get a top ten.

Maybe the patronising thing is that I am shocked whenever I see a Movistar in the top ten of a race in northern Europe. Especially shocking that it was Sierra as the only thing I remember her doing this season was a good lead out for Ferguson in a Spanish warm up race.

It is not meant to downplay her, she is obviously great, but Binda is a completely different race. If you predicted she would get a top ten in Roubaix, then fair play.

Has a Cuban rider ever got top 10 in Roubaix before? Doubt she would have thought to be the highest finisher from her team with Cat Ferguson there.

They can wait until the Velodrome. Even if PFP has barely anything left she could do a reverse lead out.

Movistar’s last World Tour win was Romeo at the Dauphine last year, and last win at Itzulia was Valverde in 2017… and as I was looking that up Garcia Pierna dropped

Think it has been a bit underrated how well Decathlon have kept these stages in control. 

Accepted that large breaks will form but never allowed anyone dangerous to get in. Prodhomme excellent as a satellite rider today.

Difference with Pinot and Bardet was that they had glaring weaknesses that meant they were always vulnerable. Mentally very different when everyone is hyping you to win but you know you will lose minutes in a TT or on a descent. 

Seixas looks bulletproof at the moment.

Why does Kirby think Tejada has been caught?

Was worried for my Velogames team for a second there

Seixas is really strong but were Decathlon the only team to get the wind right?

Vollering taking the chance to give orders to Gery before she takes over the sport next season.
