Did anyone see it?

Becuase Harmoon said yesterday that what happened was Wiggins went for it, then Valverde half heartidly did a sprint for the place after Wiggins but did not try to challenge Wiggins for his place.

 

[woodenswan]

"oh my world! look at how far that bike went! blimey!" at this point u could hear Sean Kelly laughing in the background. not on the misfortunes of that rider crashing of course but the dramatic reaction of Harmon. priceless moment

 

[DominicDecoco]

Boonen getting to the classics next month in ridiculously good form.

Valv sprinted, but looked like Wigans caught him off guard, like Valv wasn't expecting to sprint and maybe not in best gear for doing so

 

[Parrulo]

Boonen getting to the classics next month in ridiculously good form.
