    Ooops/ It seems like cyclingquotes.com [size=30]does not[/size], I repeat, [b]does not![/b] have a full startlist up at http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/the_pressures_off_gilbert_ahead_of_fleche_and_liege/ 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. #o 🙁 *sigh* My bad.

    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. <:P
