DQS did not dominate bunch sprints last year. Bora edged them out in bunch sprint wins. DQS had the stronger sprint support but Bora had Bennett and Ackermann who won more than Viviani and Jakobsen.

True. I know he loves to work with Archibold but I think he has outgrown himThat was almost certainly the best lead out Bennett has ever had in any race in his career!

Archbold’s job last year was to drop him off with 1 or 1.5 km to go not to be a traditional final lead out. It looks like they are using him as second last man this year. Keisse-Archbold-Morkov represents a huge amount of horsepower. It’s actually weird watching Bennett on the end of a big train rather than wheel surfing.
I don't know about that, but I do know that GCN are streaming it for free on their youtube page.Despite what various websites claim, this isn’t live on Eurosport UK is it? Or any other tv channel in Britain or Ireland?

No problems - you've got to take Carlton as part of the deal though.Any chance we could get them to switch Ireland to a different Eurosport after Brexit
Indeed.Fecking quicksteppers ruining cycling with their dominance
No way. Its one of my brexit redlinesNo problems - you've got to take Carlton as part of the deal though.
Archbold still has his place - he's the ultimate train hijacker. He would get Bennett on the back of the best train with about 7-800 metres to go and let him do his thing.True. I know he loves to work with Archibold but I think he has outgrown him
What's that weird jersey Impey is wearing? With the tiny flag... at first when I saw it, I thought it was an undershirt.
According to our commentators it's the South African National Champion jersey.
