Dropped to 13th in the GC, but didn't expect too much either.

Happy for Tom Tom, they had their fair share of bad luck and finally now it's their turn to get some luck. And seems first goal will be achieved for them if I am not wrong. 
Asda and In n Out with amazing starts to the season.

Nice report, but shame that one of the most famous cobbled sections of history of modern cycling is not named by its name. 
I see Van wyk was pretty good, nice to see our former rider doing some good things for Fletcher-Garneau. Congrats to the (for me) surprising winner.

If only we would've followed the pack yesterday, this could have been a great race for us..
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Sorry, I'm quite ignorant when it comes to cycling history. So, I general just leave that part out in most of my writing. Man-Game or otherwise.

@MRE: No problem mate, not everybody here is die hard fan of real life cycling.
I was not aware that Muur is part of this race, so i was nicely surprised when i saw the famous chapel on top of the hill.

Good stage for Dupont. Hopefully he can survive the next hilly stage without losing too much time. And I am impressed by Stoltz once again. If that continues like that he might be a big surprise at some point in the season..
Also very surprised that such a strong breakaway was allowed.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |

Interesting stage! This is a good sign for the cobble races this season.

This is just really really bad. Fahnert and Jelloul at least in reach for the GC Top 20, but otherwise ... Matzka a big letdown. Hopefully the last two stages will be a bit better.

Oh wow!
This is awesome, after all the bad luck TomTom had 
Unfortunately, a tough hill stage is up, but the AI always overpowers yellow jersey wearers, and there's quite a nice gap to the good punchers, so yay!

56 seconds to Sweeting who is a really good puncheur for a sprinter
watch out on the next stage |

Yes, but I mainly need a Top 5, that's a goal 
Plus, I never expected to reach that goal anymore, after Duggan being unlucky twice.

This. Not only was strong cobble riders like Takenouchi and Lebris in the break, Lebris was only 32 seconds or so down in the GC so I was surprised to see it go away.

What an exciting race!
Marcel Wyss still in touch with big thing after a great perfomance on the cobbles at Geraardsbergen.
Eagerly waiting for the final stages.

That was horrible stage for Bole after all the things he showed before. Bad, just bad!
Let's now focus on winning that green jersey, please!

Unbelievable, truly... Eddie Stobart for promotion at this rate
Good ride by TomTom to keep the lead, shaky at times, but they hold it together, not a win, but goal seems almost completed for them.
Gratz to Vontobel and Wyss, he really impressed me in Cuba and doing the same here!

Some teams are really, really lucky so far... 5th from Jovanovic, so can't complain.
