    Ja probably.

    Interesting group.

    Garmin missed out on that one.

    That group will have the winner me thinks. Question for Liquigas is whether it's the right pair in the group.

    Gilbert and Roelandts both make the front group. Better than yesterday.

    So do they chase full gas, and give Farrar an armchair ride?

    probably a bit moot. I think that group's got enough represented to go.

    Too much effort earlier on?

    Bechel demonstrates.

    Nice.

    Saxo are the team to beat next weekend.

    Ok ok i know its for safety reasons and nobody wants to see a Jimmy Casper moment but
    the race misses something with the new descent of the Kemmelberg
    Gasping - but somehow still alive !

    You would favour him in a sprint but he went to the line before with a small group at GW and was turned over by Hammond and Burghardt i think it was

    yeah he looks like a guy running out of steam... do better in a larger group where he can hide and pop out i guess...

    i envisaged a larger group than this but its a interesting mix and size... everyone is basing the endgame on Breschel

    oscar is trying every ruse in the book by the looks of it...
