Watch the race with about 100km to go. Was good to watch. Especially the last 30km!

Love the pic of Boonen's with the course info detailing the cobble sections and their length on the cross bar

Successful test ride of the Colnago in the sunshine today, amazing how a few degrees rise in temperature improves things.

I've just got back, !,500m of climbing killed me, especially with some hills at 18 and 20% which I so wanted to walk up but just got on with it.

Was pretty tough, but glad it's over now!
