    Don't let up. Keep it going. Don't let the bunch catch....please.

    Gilbert, Cunego, Frank, Kolobnev. Dangerous four.

    Good job to the riders who reacted immediately.

    Freire or Gesink there?

    Freire. Gesink is chasing with a Garmin just at the front of the bunch.
    Martens

    My mistake. Gesink is about to get dropped completely.

    Damn, a chase group that actually co-operates. Haven't seen that much recently!

    Interesting if this group is to sprint on the Cauberg.... Gilbert, Cunego, Kolobnev, even Frank S and Ivanov, pretty fast all

    This Kolobnev is too dangerous to take to the finish if they catch him

    Gesink giving it a lot of effort. Good to see

    Armchair ride for Ivanov. Perfect for him if they catch

    Great win for Gilbert, has to be a good bet now for LBL even if Valverde etc turn up!

    Very impressive win again.... especially considering he had an all-out solo attack with 10 k to go.

    liking the chintzy chairs for the top 3, something else to sit on while having your sweat wiped away than the standard plastic foldables
