    They're about the same I reckon. Flecha is more consistent without actually winning a big one, Ballan is better on form, but less consistent.

    Pozzato looks like he'll make the gap, as will Roessler.

    Flecha's not pulling much.

    Rosseler looks cooked if you ask me. No chance for Pozzato to get back.

    Flecha is glassing it. Not coming through worth spit.

    Canc will want Pozzato to join - makes it tricker for Boonen.

    10 seconds for Pozzato now.

    Pozzato might be out of position but he's got some pretty good form!

    Pozzato's gap getting bigger and bigger. Brave effort, but no dice.

    Boonen Flecha Canc, easily over the Dutch train of a few Rabos and a couple Vacons, as well as a dead Pozzato.
