Good Morning

There is not a big media buildup for this race, in comparison to the other Monuments. The TV coverage also sucks, with the big climbs left out. Its a shame, because the parcours is so magnificent.

It seems as though Cavendish rides faster on some climbs than the fastest climbers in front of the race. Danilo Hondo

Tv coverage starts at 14.30 CET… -100km to finish.
