multiple attacks

 

all closed down

 

Giant is prominent in front as well as OGE

3 kms to go, twisty and technical

 

remember it's an uphill kinda finish

 

suitable for the puncher kinda rider

1 km to go

Garmin on the front, possibly for the talented Haas

Remember that purple patch in 2011?

 

Hahaha, thanks for reminding me

Could've would've should've

 

Sagan's kinda finish - slight gradient

[T-Bob]

Gilbert pushed to the line by young Mick Mathews from OGE. Great ride by the aussie but Gilbert had enough experience to ride him across the road and stop him coming through.

 

1 & 2 today did a lot of work throughout the day. Mathews working for Gerrans and Gilbert in that drawn out attack bridging to the chasers that got swallowed up almost as soon as he got there.

 

Great opening race for the Ardennes.
