    Did anyone get into the time trial 'wrists on the bars' aero position on a flat bit of the commute this morning and pretend to be Peter Sagan pedalling his way to glory :D

    Yup. But kept my speed under 40 to give the others a fighting chance😂

    It really looked like Sagan was hardly trying at all. You see some guys pushing hard on the bike is swaying slightly but he looked like he was on a club spin.

    Given that Spartacus couldn't catch him he must have been going some power.

    It was a nice touch by VanMarke to let Spartacus take second. Not sure if it was down to basically Spartacus did all the work, a sign of respect for his last Flanders, lack of legs or all three but either way it was nice and Spartacus acknowledged it as well even if the commentators didn't (or I didn't hear them anyway)
