    What a superb final 2k.

    Loads of jostling/bumping to get position and given the speed I’m surprised no one went down.

    Philpsen with excellent finish!

    Yep, gives me the heeby jeebies a bit when the bumping starts at that speed with so little protection over all that tarmac! Cavendish 6th. Not the train he's had in other years but he's up there.

    When you see what happened to Jakobsen, fractured skull, 10 teeth lost and lots of internal injuries. Induced coma and all whilst sprinting

    Hope so. My only concern is Cav doesn’t have the team who are able to deliver him to the finish line when it matters.

    Yesterday he got lost in the melee and was trying to get on the wheel of others as his team dropped away!

    Needs to have words with DS about the complete lack of support he's getting in these bunch sprints.

    Wonder if he can get Geraint Thomas to put in a few nice words for the folks at Ineos Grenadiers and see if they fancy helping out because Astana ain't doing **** right now for him
