Bad luck Smutch!

Right result, really.

I'm just glad Vandenbergh was the loser out of those four.

Awesome race. Cancellara was so confident at the end - and proved to be the strongest.

Nuts racing. My daughter asked me why one of the riders was lying face down in the field next to the road - just having a wee rest she concluded.

- just having a wee rest she concluded.

It was nuts - wee rests are called comfort breaks in pro cycling DP

The sky team full of multiple stage winners, classics winners, world champions, olympic champions.

Get a grip - its not unusual for brits to lamblast their own when things go wrong.

Why not just support them and embrace the best british racing team thats ever been put together. Rather than slate them when a few things go wrong.

Best of british to you.

Well fair play to Wiggo, jowwy. He got round and while not quite at the business end, it was a decent show given his lack of racing this season. A few more rides like that and who knows...

Thomas is playing safe .... wiggins is not riding ,But he is ridding Paris Roubaix

Wiggins finished well

Cracking race today, just watched the last 60 kms. Cancellara looked very strong, Sky has improved, OPQS have so many strong guys. Sagan looks to be making legs. Sep should be good for PR.

Loved it - Would be great to get a gif of that!

Wiggins also got Thomas back into it after his crash with 50km gone... he did his super-domestique job very well today. But for me, it really should be these kinds of races he should concentrate on, and should have last season too. He could win these things.
