Kwiatkowski (Team Marginal Gains) wins MSR.

Dude's on a roll.

Just a note...Tejay Van Garderen is currently in the overall lead (41 seconds) after three stages at the Volta Catalunya.

That's cool. I haven't been paying attention to that race. I'm going to now.

Van Avermaet or Sagan for Flanders win?

With the closure of Universal Sports channel a couple of years ago and now that beIn has apparently dropped all cycling coverage the ability to see racers in the States really sucks now. Nobody is showing Flanders on this side of the pond.

Gilbert wins the Ronde!
I have to admit that when he went so early, I never believed his escape would last until the finish line. Though he was helped a bit by events behind him.

Steephill usually has a list of streams.

Just a note, Tom Boonen raced his last race on Belgian roads today, in the Scheldeprijs.

Tommeke Tommeke Tommeke!

This is the best Spring in terms of Belgian cyclists since probably 2011.

Gilbert wins the Amstel!

Congrats to him. Seems he's enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Next up is Fleche, one of my favorite classics. I'd love to see the Mur in person one day.

Valverde...again.

For a minute I thought you meant to post this in the Doping Thread!
