    Great win, what a cock up again by Ettix. I don't understand with two in the break they don't drill one lad on the front.

    Smart riding by Paolini

    Who needs Tom or Fab if we get excitement like this. In saying that, it's a pity not to see them around.

    ...or at least since Omloop. The spring racing has been fantastic this year...

    Even (though it kills me to say it) Valverde has really lit up the racing in Catalunya this week.

    Despite the hype around some of the younger racers, they have not really left their mark, (G. Thomas aside) and Sagan yet again fails to deliver. Aul Oleg must be busting a gasket at this stage.....:P

    Proper tantrums too when your musette strap gets caught in your wheel. None of this unravelling nonsense, picking the bike up and fecking it across the ditch is the only solution to that problem.

    Make sure you get to know the local Superintendent first just in case you need some pull. :)
