Tour of Catalunya *Spoilers!*

Me too. I've been known to doze off during a FF and wake up with the biathlon on.

God I love the biathlon, I have a massive crush on Dorothea Wierer.

froome down in a crash, back on his bike with a bit of roadrash

Apart from that crash (inside the last 20km I think), it's looking like a bunch sprint, so record and FF is deffo the right option (or have it in the corner of the screen while working, like I have today).

Good win. Lots of riders dropped though.

Spoiler

Froome still riding in, 5km to go, 5 minutes after the bunch.

Good win for Matthews to beat ValvPiti et al on that tough finish. He's a classics contender and a second win of the yer for Sunweb.
James Knox with another good finish in that field, to come in 6th

[Adam4868]

Not much but it's hard for a bunch of bruised riders to catch a sprinting peloton.

No, I'm pretty sure he kept riding all the time, including through any parks.

15km to go for the breakaway, peloton +2:47, Movistar train on the front.
