It happens to me too when I'm distracted.
For example, F1. I only watch it on Speed channel (they have the best commentators), so that means I have to download it from RU, which means I only see F1 races on monday nights (I haven't seen this one yet, please don't spoil it for me), and it sometimes happens that I open a website out of habit, see the result and go "WHY THE F*** DID I OPEN THIS FOR".
It happens. Force of habit.

Greipel wins first stage of De Panne out of a break of 4 riders. 2s later the peloton finished  |

I was already fearing that nobody wants to ride on the last 2km with Greipel in the group. They slowed down a lot on the final kilometer. But in the end it was perfectly done by Greipel.

Gonna be intresting tt between Westra agaistn Wggins. Even Greipel stands a chance but needs extra bonus seconds on next two stages.

Westra said he heard Muraviev and Gusev talking to eachother all the time and didn't trust them. He was afraid that if he went solo, they would work together to catch him all the time. So that's why he waited after the final climb of the Eikenmolen.
Pity, I think he had a good chance of dropping them for good if he went on solo. |

Quote from the Team Bonitas twitter feed at the tour of Maroc:
Crash at the back of the bunch, quite a few Maroc riders, they're being aided back to the bunch by all 3 team cars plus the org vehicles..

Especially perfectly done by Westra, who did the major part of the pulling and the work and was clearly the strongest.
Too bad the Russians where being an ass the whole breakaway. With their stupidly timed attacks and half-pulling.
Only Greipel really worked with Westra |

Well, at least he has learned a good lesson. Learn Russian.  |

Hoste after his crash. The crash didn`t look too bad, but obviously he totally felt on his face with luckily no harder injuries.
At least the suspicion of a jaw fracture was wrong. It`s not sure if he can ride the next big classics.

Hoste was already ugly, but now he's just hideous |

Put him in paint and stretch vertically by 180% and he looks like Ruben.
Oh wait, don't forget the sunglasses.

Exactly what I did and not the first time this season either.  |

I was hoping for Van Groen to win, would be deserved imo.. But nice for Galimzyanov also, finally he won a race .
Think Westra will win overall, he seems strong and is good on the ITT.

HTC, espessially Pate and Ghyselinck did a lot of work in the first chase group in 3-daagse De Panne, too bad their effort wasn't rewarded with a win. Nice ride by Galimzyanov though, he should be a good sprinter for the future |
