For those wishing to share notes on what's happening in the Hell of the North.

Will Tom Boonen make it 5?

The thread.

I don't like it when we get ideas above our station.
We have our own enclave, and I always think we're asking for trouble when we start invading.
We're leaving ourselves wide open to reprisals.

It's Sunday. Everyone is happy. It'll take minds off the 'will we won't we' hand-wringing.

And on this dry sunny day, this could be one of the fastest races ever. Enjoying it 'live' on Eurosport now (for those wondering what the hell it is.)

First section of pavé coming up.

This is what it's like to ride over it. Bear in mind it's difficulty rating is 3 star out of 5.



At about 1.23 you get a feel for how rough the cobbles are.

Boonen had some unbelivable technicals at Flanders. Did i read G is not riding it for the first time.

Would love to be out in Knockhaerts home town velodrome today.

No G today. And Luke Rowe may have just suffered a crash. Stannard in the mix.

Why do you cycle on the road when there's a perfectly good cycle path?

And you look like such a nonce in your spandex.

Perhaps you should get on a bike more often, then you'd realise how poorly served cyclists are. Get out from behind your keyboard mate! Then you might not look like this...

There will be a straight pride after Brexit. Now we've got our country back and we're free from the EU shackles, they can't tell us what we can and can't do!

Arenberg 20k away.

Let's hope they get through it safely.

:down:

I wish it weren't true.
I hope you're proud of yourself picking on someone with reverse starvation.

I'm off to drown my sorrows in Tangfastics.
