What is Kwiatkowski holding in his right hand?
 
This is a great site for previews of races (not just Classics):
http://www.cyclinghub.tv/livestream

And also decent live streaming

Occasional guest appearances - this week has seen Oliver Naesen and Leigh Howard, both of whom were excellent.

Also worth a follow on twitter
cyclinghub.tv are doing a preview of women's Flanders race on Thursday - worth tuning into. Carlee Taylor is guest. Not sure of time but will post update when I can.
 
Sky seem to have had a pretty good day yesterday by doing un-Skylike things. Maybe they have decided that you can't win classics by controlling the bunch and riding tempo. Could be interesting.

Kwiatkowski's win was reminiscent of Cummings's win at Tirreno-Adriatico the other week - keep the protected man in the bunch but send another man up the road to force the main rivals to chase. Gives you two options at the finish, and you can cut your cloth accordingly. And they walk away with two podium spots. Superb tactics.

Patrick Lefevere must be sick of the sight of Ian Stannard now. ^_^
 
Cancellara was in there but his bike just broke down. Unlucky.
Huge effort by Cancellara to get back after his mechanical; Belgian press are reporting that Etixx DS Wilfried Peeters blocked Trek team car getting to him.
