Hushovd has already called it a day after 14km, complaining of a stomach bug.

Seems to be going around the peleton.

    24 rider breakaway at 60 odd km. Biggest names theren are, apparantly:

    Hulsmans, Goetarovitsj, D'Hollander, Tjallingii, Rosseler, Gardeyn and Barbé.

    Most teams are represented but the peleton is keeping it honest at around 2 minutes.

    Goetarovitsj = Hutarovich?

    Nuyens 2nd puncture of the day.

    Just when the hellingen come thick and fast - saxo are giving it some gas too.


    Rabo need to sort his tyres out, after Nieuwsblad too.

    Tense part of the course this bit - all the favourites right at the front.


    Quick-Step are thus far better represented than in previous cobbled races this year.

    Looks like saxo are on front in both groups...


    Hmmm...

    Yay, I just saw a Xacobeo rider! Okay, he was hanging on the back of the group by the skin of his teeth, but still, that's good going!

    Hutarovich dropped from the top group on the Boigneberg.

    People are beginning to be a little concerned because Canc is in 5th position apparantly.

    Means he's up to something...

    Feed is not the best today. RTBF are due on now and should be clearer. (and in French)
    Will see if it's available.....

    Flat out towards the Eikenberg. Should shake the tree that one.

    Boonen op kop of the peleton just before the Taaienberg, his hill.

    Massive fight for his wheel!

    Nuyens crashed, looks like he too Canc down with him.

    Wow, Nuyens has no luck.

    Big acceleration by Boonen. Avermaert tries but can't get to his wheel.


    Same has what happened in het Nieuws.

    No-one follows with him.

    Boonen has only two guys with him left in the group.


    Commentators haven't mentioned if Canc was in the crash, I think not < my bad.


    Edit: they just have! He was!

    Hoste and Devolder caught in the group behind Boonen. Apparantly they don't look good.


    West Vlaanderen groans.

    Cancellara barely hit the floor before he was back up and riding. I think he's OK.

    Pozzato is lurking near the front.

    dropped.

    Sorry Afx ;)

    Boonen, Flecha, Cancellara. The holy trinity of cobbledom.
  • rick_chasey
    rick_chasey Posts: 75,661
    Boonen, then not too far, Flecha and Canc.


    Let's hope they work together. ;)

    Big gap behind those guys.
