Glad MvdP decided the winner before the Bath match starts. Time to turn over and hopefully nsee another BBW team win!

I wanted them to hurry up as the Bath Gloucester match had started!

I enjoyed that. Got that warm feeling that the cobbles have started and that I am drinking 8% beer on a Saturday afternoon!!!

According to the subtitles on the YouTube thingy I watched Matthew van der Bull had to deal with wet cuddles.

The full race is already available on Tiz. Better yet, if the click their link, it takes you to their “secret” YouTube page.

Stefan Küng broke his thigh yesterday, so will be out for months.

KBK then. Can be a brilliant race, but more often than not, one for the sprint types as there isn’t a berg in the last 60s.

MvdP looks a bit heavy

MvdP had a particular technique on the cobbled climbs. Fairly high gear and lifting the front wheel up occasionally. Obviously works for him.

Rick Pluimers - the Tudor rider who went down in front of MVDP - broke two teeth. Cobbles are a hard diet

KBK's a chipper and can go jump in the sea (although it would add an an extra 56km to the parcours).

We are live with Hatch and McEwen and 100kms to go…
