    When I see Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne on the list of upcoming races - this is when I start to get excited! All these Belgian semi-classics building up to the big name races. KBK has a great line-up this year and it's often one for the sprinters, and we've got Cav probably pissed off at not getting into the mix in Oman, Boonen on form, Farrar still hungry... and more. Should be fun!

    Good sprint by Vanmarcke but Boonen went too early. Flecha is always there or thereabouts - a real good pro.

    I wonder when BT will get round to giving a s*** about their rural customers?

    That Vanmarcke's a big lad isn't he? Only 23 - took everybody by surprise that did. When he attacked at 20ks to go, it was all Boonan and Flecha could do to stay with him.

    Great to be back to "real" racing. Love these northern classics.

    KBK is gonna be a great finish. 7 riders 58 secs clear with 25km left. Team Sky at the front trying to get the chase organised.

    Indeed Paul. Cav blew them away early on in the sprint and then did just enough. Too strong.

    Just watched a replay and must say the whole of the Sky team did well with Cav putting icing on the cake. The season ahead looks promising for Sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
