Minor races 2018 (contains spoilers)

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I actually like the randomness of the commentary when nothing much is going on. Really enjoyed doing some painting last weekend with the cycling on in the background.

I do remember watching a few races last year, without any commentary and found it a tad strange.

During the Classics I usually go on my turbo for the last hour or so of the race, and turn the sound off. It's great. But strange. Unlike Carlton, who is shite and strange.

(This Dan Martin used to be a schoolmate of my son and now races for Bath Uni. Unlike his namesake, he likes riding against the clock.)

Thats some recovery by Rowe,was supposed to be up to 2 years and hes racing in 6 months.As for Cav read that it was whiplash and concussion,hopefully be ok.

Wout Van Aert is in the Omloop this weekend. Will be interesting to see how he does. Should be able to handle the cobbles no problem, but racing for more than an hour will be a test. He came 4th in the U23 version of the race in 2015.

Hes definitely one to watch for the near future

Viviani wins S2. he's done good since scarpering from Sky.
Having a dedicated lead out train helps of course.
