Yes, we do.... and there's a further discussion of this in the Rider Safety thread that I started...

Obviously his natural habitat! He will be so at home chasing drug-fuelled Kamikaze locals along the Anatolian coast. Just like Flanders!
De Brabantse Pijl on now

That was a surprise. You'd pretty much have put your house on Matthews getting that one, once the two were being hunted down...
Yeah and Gilbert is somebody who doesn't have a problem with a teammate winning.Poor Gilbert didn't know whether to go for the win himself, or hold the chasing group back for Hermans
He was third in the end behind Mathews, so it all worked out for the best
He also had a nice gesture holding his starting number (1) in front of Hermans when he was getting his kisses on the podium:
Fifth place yesterday was another excellent result for everybody's favourite... Rebellin
Amazing isn't it what he can do at 43 years of age?
But there is some good news:
On Monday there was (finally!) the judging by the Court of Padua for his positive check in Beijing 2008 and tax evasion (because of declaring a false residence abroad).
Unfortunately the judging started very late and so the ruling was postponed to the 30th of April (conveniently bridging the Ardennes Classics isn't it?)
Let's hope the Italian justice system doesn't hold up to it's reputation and we will (finally) see some actions (albeit years too late)

...and his illustrious team-mate Stefan Schumacher finishing a couple of minutes down. Such role models.
And it's Bouhani who takes the win (and starts to return to his form of last year)
