The Belgian Federation have requested a 2 year ban for Van Avermaet. No wonder he was in tears on Sunday.

His actual hearing isn't until May 7, this was just the announcement that the state prosecutor is recommending a hefty fine and a two-year ban. The case against GVA is supposedly not very strong so this may not come to anything.

Finally read up on it. Some three year old emails about off season cortisone injury therapy? They can't do any better than that?

Gilbert seems to poop out too quickly on attack these days. He might be past it, but I think I said the same thing last year.

There was a car going head on towards the peloton that only just realised they had to get out the way. Caused some very panicked looks.

Member of the public apparently. Eurosport guys were saying its often very difficult to close every road and junction since theres just so many connecting roads around here.

Yeah, Matthews definitely impressed on the Cauberg. He did incredibly well considering the total elevation.

I think he could have won had him and Gilbert worked together after the climb, for some reason he let the bunch get back on so the whole climb was wasted energy.
