Fair enough, but Sky did deliver when they could (most of the time anyway).

Well, that's what I meant.

Amusing interview with a very pissed Cav on Belgian TV. He was asked if his team were at fault and whilst he didn't explicitly agree, he didn't exactly leap to their defence.

Good riding by argos-shimano team.

Patrick Lefevre not exactly chuffed with the team's performance either.

Just watching it now but I haven't tracked down an English language commentary yet. Any ideas?

Scott Thwaites of NetApp-Endura has been having a few Top 10 results lately - he is my bet for 'completely unlikely winner' today.

Another crash into a road sign. This race is always a bit bonkers for that sort of thing.

There's a lot of bunny-hopping on and off pavements and short cuts too. Cofidis guy came off better than Offredo though!

Crikey, that was close. Sagan - but only just! Nice to see Gilbert fighting up front again, even if he didn't win.
