That's so odd, the chasers all sat up.

Attaboy Gilbert ! Picked his moment perfectly and had the legs to finish.
That was a great race, very entertaining and a true test of the best. Far more interesting than last year, a great parcours.

I've called the last 3 winners but never had a punt!

I really didn't get what EBH was doing. He was off chasing Gilbert with Kolobnev and Valverde, and then he sat up and started looking around instead of continuing to chase him down. In the meantime, Gilbert's gap become unbridgeable. EBH clearly had something left because he then started riding again and made sure of second.

What a great advert for real racing without radios!

Well done EBH too.
JTL I think blown away in the end but not a bad introduction to the WCs.

Gilbert is a more than worthy winner.
