Picture of yesterday's prologue in the ZLM Tour, it looks as though two time Ronde van Vlaanderen winner Strong Stijn (Devolder) has had some pretty decent dinners, dear Lord

Without increasing the number of teams, even though there now would be space for two more teams. This decision will change exactly nothing.

Zdeněk Štybar won the title after a huge attack in the last climb second finished Josef Černý winning his second medal this week after the time trial one last Thursday. 3rd finished Juraj Sagan and became once again Slovak National champion. Czech bronze went to Petr Vakoč beating Roman Kreuziger in the sprint. Slovak silver is for Peter Sagan winning the main group sprint ahead of Slovak bronze medalist Erik Baška.

Two winners in one race, this whole Czechoslovak championship thing keeps being something 'different' year after year
