    I know this isn't Flanders or Roubaix but still it is pretty incredible that the lead has opened up so much...where was the panache, the courage, the power, the will, the mental fortitude, the hardiness to try and bridge the gap. I hope those three now put 10mins into the rest and Stannard wins from a 2km solo do or die effort.

    Reckon Thor wanted to climb off and Bobby J told him to carry on. Prize money for 5th, innit.

    what a trolling fool you come across as

    What a complete lack of humour you have.

    what a complete lack of respect many of you have for sky. I hope Mr Stannard does it, unlike many on here wish

    Interesting three riders. Traksel is the fasted, but Flens and Stannard both have a good 1k TT...
    Does Stannard speak Dutch? :wink:

    Is Traksel the guy who started out as a sprinter, for CSC I think, but then lost all kinds of form?

    flens is the only one not accelerating when coming throu but nods stannard throu before his "on the front pace" dies.

    Max 50 riders to finish today ? Roulston doing well to hold it at 50secs

    Traksel also has been by far the longest at the front of the three


    Whatever happens, it's the weekend of Sky anc Vacansoleil

    Don't know Stannard's style but it looks like he's having to work hard to keep on the wheel.

    Is it OK for me to want Stannard to win but not because he's on Sky? :D

    Flens looks strong. Stannard needs a hand....

    Stannard looks knackered coming out of every corner, nice bunny hop from flens!

    If Traksel was cooked I doubt he would have closed that gap. I hope the wheelsucker gets third. Been a pro for longest so learnt all the acting skills to feign tiredness...
