Dan Martin's Liège–Bastogne–Liège panda has shot (eaten and left) this video diary as he prepares for the big day; really superb stuff! Above, on the final bend of the race - where Martin fell last year - urging caution.
When Ireland's Dan Martin prepared to launch his race-winning move in Liège–Bastogne–Liège in 2013 to take the biggest win of his career, a panda could be seen chasing him and Joaquim Rodriguez.
Since then, the black and white bear has turned up in all manner of places following Martin's career and memorabilia featuring the unusual moment two years ago has also been produced.

There were fears Martin would miss tomorrow's race because of his crash at Wednesday’s Fleche-Wallone but it looks like he will now ride.
His panda will be there took and has put together this really entertaining video diary, below, recording his day as he prepares for the big showdown.
This really is well worth a look.
