Behind the scenes thought: I feel sorry for the riders who have to stay in the most randomly-placed hotels for days.

wait what where has the sun come from

I am so happy to not be cycling in Flanders right now. Grim weather. Good luck on the Koppenberg everyone.

James I support this but also so amazingly lame, congratulations
