Ooops/ It seems like cyclingquotes.com does not, I repeat, does not! have a full startlist up at http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/the_pressures_off_gilbert_ahead_of_fle... and I cannot read through an article and not go hopelessly overboard and claim things that aren't true, much to my dismay, as I have been so emphatically been pointed out to below. Look at the comments section to see for yourself how a grown man is humiliated by a huge dose of reality.  40  2 *sigh* My bad.

1 2 5 8 11 15 and I had Martin as well!! If only he'd stayed on his wheels I could have won this one! And I need some new sunglasses!

Still, been better in the last few classics after a terrible start!

1st and 3rd in Podium game.

15th on stage for purist, shame I went J-Rod, any other of my usual choices, Moreno or slagter would have seen me top 10. All in all satisfied with that

You gotta feel for Dan Martin - was it a pedal strike? Looked like it.
We've all been there, although with me it was at a still half - asleep 5.30 ride to the station on my Brompton and I stayed on.  36

Watching it , it looked nothing like a pedal strike  17

The front wheel slid out from under him as he was out the saddle on a turn ...my initial thoughts were gravel but if he says oil it's just as probable

We can't email things we don't know.

He didn't start but was there and was supposed to start. We cannot be held responsible if riders do not show up to start a race...

Just to state this now..

Froome and Betancur did not start, so are not eligible for any team bonus points, even if Sky or AG2R win
