Poor form. Fine for the ilk of Channel 7 but not for SBS. Lift up the standards please.

Awesome to see Lars Boom in there too. Half expected him to jump the fence and shortcut across a field to catch Tommy.

An Aussie in top 10 is pretty good too.

Wouldn't call what Sky were doing smart, leave Stannard on the front until he pops then the same with Hayman. Why wouldn't the 4 of them swap off? Rabobank wouldn't commit one of the two guys they had to help, disappointing.
Great ride by Hayman to finish 8th after all the work he did for the team. He is one strong hombre.

Boonen monstered it, smashed the chasing groups. Those cobbles puts each rider out there on their own, no point in finding a wheel to suck, no lead out man to pull you along, it's all about how much of the hammer you can take.
A bike and a place to ride.

Not for me just wanted a idea of bounce and control problems they go through. Considering frames and alike can collapse.
I keep replaying Hell of North and cant believe the arm vibrations . One amazing race.
