Valgren wins, I turned on late (20km left) so missed whether the race had been active but the bunch was bigger than I expected

Good race, watched on vrt stream on tablet, muur and bosberg not as critical at 180k as they were at 250k in the Ronde

I caught most of it from about 80km out. It seemed to be fairly active at the front, and BMC and Lotto seemed to be trying moves from around 50km out, but although a few gaps formed they never really seemed to stick for long despite some strong riders. The suggestion was that the headwind was too strong for smaller groups to really sustain a gap any earlier

For all the hipsters out there Strade Bianche is on Eurosport 2 live right now. It's wet and not at all what I've seen from this race before.

Strade Bianche is always a good race, will switch over soon.

This is only the second or third time I've seen it and it's always been dry before. I'm used to gravel and dust, not white mud!

A couple of years ago the Giro used the strade into a stage finish at Montalcino. Cadel Evans won the stage but you would not have recognised him as his front was completely gey/brown mud, far worse than they look as I type
