    A Garmn-Chipotle rider in the break. Shouldn't someone have told him he should be out the back of the peloton?

    They probably put his GPS batteries in backwards.

    Yeah, same guy.

    10'30" now with 104km to go. Definitely a bunch sprint.

    Sean Kelly just made an interesting point that the FFC commissaires seem to be much harsher with regards to riders drafting through the caravan after a mechanical. Popovych just had an argument with one of them after they told him to get out from behind the Rabo car.

    And now the weather's got a lot worse. It's chucking it down now.

    Breakaway's prospects getting better?

    The gap is above 1 minute per 10km left so they stand a decent chance. However, the sprinters' teams should pile the pressure on now as they have a day off tomorrow with the TT - the break has been out all day as well so they should be tiring and the gap should start tumbling.

    Bah, the peloton got through okay. Columbia getting to the front now. Bunch sprint still on IMO.

    Not sure, raining cats and dogs. Mass crash in the bunch a possibility?

    No ground been made up over last couple of k, lone break from the front takes the win is my prediction.

    Looks like the break'll stay away IMO - 6.44 with 50km left. However, if they start playing games up front then that could come down very quickly. Still, looks like me fogetting to do my PTP today might not matter :D

    BAH looks like the bunch has messed up. The gap isn't coming down enough IMO no victory for Cav on the cards :(

    Nasty looking crash by Gomez Marchante. Woulda possibly been a KOM contender. Outta the race by the look of it.

    Quite a big crash.

    Gomez (Saunier D) looks like he's out

    One of the CSC guys has also fallen, but i think he's got back on.

    Split in the bunch too, with Quick Step on the front

    Wow, very small front group. Lotsa guys might have missed out there. Ricco is in 2nd group.

    Hmmmm.

    Peleton looks to have grown somewhat, but still not complete, not sure if Cav is in the first group possibly not...

    It's all strung out and its getting faster and faster. Hopefully no more crashes.
