    That's a strong looking break. Hope it holds out with a big lead and brings a few people back into outside contention.

    UK Eurosport hammering on about "weak" Astana, who have Vino in the break and 4 in the peloton.

    Meanwhile, Schleck has just one man.

    If you are going to have a crucial "mechanical", Andy's is panning out as lucky.

    Looks like it's been completely blown apart very early on today.

    How many in the yellow jersey group? About 20? 11 in the lead group, then another 20 or so behind the yellow jersey in the Sanchez/Gesink group?

    But Vino's in the front group - that's who Lotto are chasing.
