Horrible incident with van Summeren early on the race

I noticed he got sent to hospital, hard to see what exactly happens there. Was it something to do with the spectators?

Thomas finished a respectable 8th, hopefully Wiggins will ride for him again next week.

Seemed to not see the traffic island and wiped out the lady stood there. She's in a critical condition I think. No idea why you'd stand in the middle of the road like, but hopefully she makes a full recovery.

And of course, Paris Roubaix next week. Sep is getting ready.

Interesting race so far, still anyone's to win

Gave Wiggins a bit of stick in this thread, but to be fair, he's done well in both of the cobbled Classics. Sounds like it was a good ride again today from both him and Thomas.

Highlights on Eurosport 2 now for anyone who missed it today, which is understandable considering the footy. Finishes 12.30 like.

That time of year again, with Milan San Remo getting the classics season under way on Sunday. Should be a good race, with the likes of Cavendish and Swift in with a chance.

Looking forward to it, im not rating Swifts chances though, not a fan of his, always fails to win even when the ideal circumstances arise.

I'm off work so I'll be watching this. Got to cheer on the Manxman here.

Agree about Swift although he did well to podium last year. Love MSR because it is so open.

I'd love to see Cancellara get a win as he's so consistent. Think he's been on the podium for the last 5 years but struggles to get the win as he's so heavily marked.

Must say, Geraint Thomas is looking in fantastic form at the moment and has to be one of the main favourites for Flanders. Was certainly a bit windy yesterday!

Well that sucked. Sky seeming to do far too much work early on again and leaving Thomas with no help whatsoever at the sharp end of the race. Surprise, surprise, Wiggins was a waste of space.
