Should be very tasty indeed. One of the best races of the year without ice, can't be much worse with it.

Disappointing that SBS aren't screening it. Anyone know of how to watch it from Australia?

Oh it looks utterly dreadful for the women racing in this. Really sorted out the proper classics riders here.

If you can get eurosport player to work they've got live coverage with no commentary of the womens finish and the mens will start in about half an hour.

Like every cycling race either "get it" after the fact, or try and find a dodgy stream.

I really hope the camera feed comes back in time for the men's race. I've been looking forward to this all week.

cyclingfans usually have loads you can watch from around the world.

Also yes I've really enjoyed the 15 minutes of finish line camera shots to the womens race.

I'll never forget watching the Lombardia one year where we just saw the start of an attack and then like 15 minutes later Purito rode across the line.

Lovely to see a Grand Tour winner up at the pointy end of a spring classic.

They should probably just pull the camera bike off the road tbh. Third complaint in 5 minutes.

It'd be pretty cool if he won but he really needs to make bardet work more

He also needs to lose him before the final climb normally.

Benoot's decided those boys weren't worth sticking with. Might kill himself and let the catch happen, but gently caress it, go balls out.

He said on the tweeters that both of his legs cramped at the same time. As much as I want him to stay in CX forever, he could do great things in the Classics if he trained for it.
