Since not much is happening right now, I will post this classic moment from the 2013 GP Quebec, Exhibit A in the "Froome is not a one-day racer" file:

Immediately prior to this point in the race, Sky had hammered at the front of the peloton to set up Froome's attack on the final climb, and the result was this:

Apart from Dawg flop, Gesink's interminable slow mo sprint was awesome. I remember watching the race.

Top day for Gesink fans all around. First he passes Froome on a climb, then he outsprints Van Avermaet and Sagan :lol:

That was awesome indeed and the way they raced the final 5km was good as well. So many gaps, it was a hard long drag race over those shalow gradients hence why Gesink could outsprint an GVA and Sagan.

I can only hope there are riders today that are willing to make it a hard final.

So I can't find a bloody stream and it's not on television. Well that sucks.

Most of the streams blocked seems this spring. :redface: .
You must VPN to canada server and watch the local TV channel :rolleyes:

Sky is too strong... medias are unavailable to Canada.
They are headed to UK.
