    I think if I closed my eyes I couldn't tell the difference between Brian Smith and Greame Souness - their voices sound identical to me.

    Brian sounds like Frankie Boyle to me. Both from Glasgow (well, Paisley for Brian). Graham is from Edinburgh.

    Just catching up on the sprint now, I have seen worse go unpunished but it is not a natural move and shuts the door on Moshetti, notice how Demare expects greater contact between Viviani and Moschetti and heads straight for the barriers.

    Yeah, in fairness I haven't a clue, I'm sure to a native Scot they probably sound as different as a Cork man and a Dub.

    When I was watching it I thought Viviani blocked that guy and would get penalised, but no one mentioned it on Europsort. So then I just assumed I didn't know enough about the intricacies of sprinting. Italian fans will be furious.

    I thought they mentioned it repeatedly, just not making it out to be a DQ offence but that it was dubious.

    Is he DQd out of the race altogether, or just taken the win from him? reminds me of Sagan getting getting kicked out of the Tour, for a far more minor offence in my opinion.

    Ah no just his result not counting, he's still in the race.

    Finally, a decent reason to penalise him

    Was it Kelly who called it a pizza box Jersey earlier?

    Hard decision to make - would Viviani have won without the drift across - probably.

    Would Moschetti have got by him - don't know, but might have got second.

    Demare moved wide as mentioned, probably cost him a place?

    I suppose he didn't hold his line so by the rules gets relegated to the end of the group he was in.

    Wasn't it Demare who kick-started the Cav-Sag debacle with a switch?

    Well, maybe not but he almost took out Bouhanni
