A good win for Pog in today's stage which I guess and I am only guessing will be the first of many in this year's Giro

Eddie crashed and lost a good share of time. Pity.

Pog going for a fucking intermediate sprint there with 20 something Kms to go. Seriously, mate?!

(He finished 2nd in it )

Sammy Be back in form! Has won three of the 4 days of Dunkirk stages so far. Should win today as well, which would wrap up his first stage race win. He's such a confidence rider. When it's there, he just wins. Timing is perfect on this, AG2R must be delighted.

Holy shit. I just watched the highlights of the win yesterday. He could be entering a whole different phase of his career, where he does a Tom Boonen and becomes a classics-like rider. The finish was from a select bunch and he just rode them off his wheel, rather than sprinting for the line. I remember him saying a few years back that his physiological profile was more classics than sprinter and I've been waiting to see if he'd go that route ever since.

Today's Giro stage. Wow. Try to find the last 12 or 15k lads.

Up to injury the year after the maillot vert, he was moving that way, playing a very prominent role in the Belgian monuments that spring. Then injury , hassle and three years of shite. Great to see him driving it on again.

Hopefully he does the Dauphiné - there’s fierce climbing there and we’ll see what shape he’s in

100% agree there.

He's just won the final stage of Dunkirk, that's 4 out of the 6 stages. Ackermann and Degenkolb both in race.

Pog again. Fucking hell.
