...could be another French contender in a year or two.

@rich p gives Alaphilippe the kiss of death...

Just watched the last few km. Nice to see Cav winning again but they might need to chop a few of those trees down before they race in Sacramento again

It was also the Tour of Norway - AKA EBH's only chance to win a race - this last few days. EBH duly came second, to Peter Weening, although he did take the last two stages.

Daniel Whitehouse (aged 21) - Tour de Flores

I noticed that result on PCS and saw the British flag by his name but I think he's actually a Kiwi. He did ride for JLT-Condor for part of the 2014 season but has never raced in Britain as far as I can tell.

Edit: tell a lie, he rode in the Beaumont Trophy* in 2014 - one of the few races he finished while at JLT-Condor, apparently.

*previous winners include B.Wiggins, R.Downing, D.Downing, M.Elliott, K.House

Theuns holds off McLay in sprint finish stage 1 of Tour of Belgium. Huge crash in peloton near the end.

Thanks, I'd missed this. McClay is doing well this year and I think we all have respect for GB riders who plough their own furrow lime him and Carty. And Srannard too, in the early days.
Van Aert must be some rider too to beat a very decent field coming from cyclo cross.

Poor Stig Broeckx caught for the second time this season!

I think that cutting the number of motos and other vehicles on race courses has got to be a priority.

Apparently in a coma and a racer died in Spain as well. Don't know the details of this. Sad news.

David Canada died in Spain - road accident in a sportive.
