Eneco, Tour de l'Ain or any other minor stage race ...SPOILERS

Horrible crash at the end of the ENECO today. Stybar looked a bit rough.

Latest news is that Stybar has facial injuries and broken teeth. Porsev also out but with a broken collar bone.

Meersman wins another stage in the T de Ain, while Bouhanni wins the Eneco sprint.
@Marmion , you can't help wondering if FdJ put their money on the wrong horse in backing Demare over Bouhanni?

nah, he'll find out at Cofidis that he made the wrong choice.
Demare will become a far better rider than Bouhanni.

Why didn't you add the Arctic Race of Norway to this @rich p ?

Oh I know why. I've watched the highlights on Eurosport and the only thing duller than the racing is the landscape!

It would be great to see Thor "god of Thunder" go out with a win at the Arctic Race; no matter how dull @tigger thinks it is.

Funnily enough tigger, I watched the last few kms of the race up that hill to Nordkapp, and thought it was bleakly beautiful.
And Nordhaug means North Heap according to google, so it was almost apt that North Heap won in North Cape

The hard men come out at eneco today

He should consider legal action vs the organisers - help put an end to this silly use of barriers

I think you'd like Flash, just up the road from me Rich. Definitely bleak, and for the 10 days a year it's not covered in fog, it could be described as, erm, well... bleak!

Thor for the Worlds!

Great competitive racing at the Eneco today, loads of interest and all very close, these shorter stage races with variable parcours are entertaining.

.......... Stybar.......

Every time I see him I can't get this song out of my head. Replacing the pertinent word with "Stybar".
