Here's a roundup of the womens race. Good ride from Nikki Harris in 21st in her road debut for Boels Dolman. Evie Richards was a DNF, one of many.

Well, almost. First to hit the wall when the revolutions came!
Anyone else hoping that Sagan would break the curse early and shut the commentators up for the next few months?

I missed the race coverage but my bet365 and Ladbroke account totals told me all I needed to know.

Nah - I backed GVA and Benoot in the predictor, so I wanted him to come third.
Would have been cool for the two world champions to win the big opening races of the European spring season though.

Good race that,about time Van Avermaet took it. Top result for Canadian Antoine Duchesne at just 24" back, and Brit Scott Thwaites in a strong 16th spot for Bora-Argon18. I did hope Sagan would take it, but never mind, early days.

Great ride by Stuyven today. Looks like Trek might have found their successor to Cancellara.

Strong work holding off the chasers. And another good result from Thwaites for Bora-Argon18 top ten.

...is pretty close to what I said turning Eurosport1 on to watch the KBK highlights, them running late again and the first thing I see being Eurosport News showing the result!
And another rider taken off by a moto!
