MvdP on another level. Then he had team mates Philipsen and Vermeersch in second and seventh.

Fred Wright best Brit in 13th. Silly Josh Tarling disqualified for a sticky bottle, he wouldn't have won, but I'd have loved to have seen how well he could do, after finishing outside the time limit last year.

Lorena Wiebes chucked that one away, to give it to Vos! Look, love, don't celebrate until you actually have won.

Plucky Brit Pfeiffer Georgi in fourth.

Seen it too often, just plain stupid. Cheer now, cry later.

Well done Pidcock! Great win.

[Nickslikk2112]

Thankfully he ddin't start his celebrations too early!

Well done Tom. 22nd for plucky MvdP 

[Nickslikk2112]

Well done plucky Brit Stevie Williams (We'll forget he's Welsh today) for winning La Flèche Wallonne. Luke Rowe called him out as the winner with about 50km to go because the weather was so filthy just like in Wales

[Nickslikk2112]

And well done Kataryzna Niewiadoma for winning the women's Fleche Wallone. A popular winner there.

Best plucky Brit was Flora Perkins in 36th.

Pogi, Pogi, Pogi! Oi! Oi! Oi!

He's good 

Can't believe MvdP made the podium and plucky Brit Tom Pidock made 10th. MvdP and Pidders must have used up a lot after being caught uo in a crash and a mechanical respectively.

Pogi yes, but MvdP might even be a more impressive achievement. I think he weighs well over 10kg more than any of them. Climbers are featherweights while he's approaching heavy weight fighting realms.

oh MvdP will never win a Grand Tour, but in the Ardennes classics the climbs are shorter and punchier so his power can get him over.

Delighted with how well Bardet performed.  Hopefully he'll have a decent season; could well be his last

[Nickslikk2112]

Good win for Thibeau Nys in stage 2 of the Tour de Romandie. Only his third road race day of the year after the cyclocross season. And he'd spent all day in the breakaway - completely oblivious to the beautiful surroundings.

[Nickslikk2112]

My mate Alison Jackson won stage 2 of the Vuelta Espana Feminine today. Nice to see someone enjoying a win

[Nickslikk2112]

Great win by Maxin van Gils in the Eschborn-Frankfurt classic today, he came from out of nowhere to win the sprint.

Plucky Brit Lukas "Son of Richard" Nerurkar came in fourth.

Happy Giro. Let's see what happens, who will be numbers 2 and 3?
