    Is he not a mountain climber?

    This is a new cycling term to me. :D

    Harmon's a busy boy. He was doing live commentary of the Le Mans series race in Catalunya at 10 am this morning.

    Hah, useless Eurosport. They could have announced the continuous internet coverage a *little* bit earlier - like 2 hours before.

    Quickstep in total control. Looks good for Boonen.

    How did that second group get so big?? Hammond in there too.

    What a fantastic race Ballan and Devolder look very strong but it could come back together,and what a ride by Hoste to get back up.

    The second group will bring them back - too many teams still interested.

    Yes, it was a bit early. Amazing attack by Devolder up the Eikenmolen - wonder if he can get enough of a 'comfort' gap before the Muur.

    Catty comment from Harmon about Slipstream:

    "We've seen nothing of Slipstream - no, thats not true, we've seen them when the camera has been down the back"

    He'll lose at least 20 seconds on the Muur.

    Fantastic - it's a finale like when Tchmil won it.

    He'll stay clear now - too many 'lone rangers' in that group to bring him back.

    Well surely Boonen won't work, even if he would win the sprint

    They need to pull back 3 or 4 seconds per km.
