Vaconsoleil on the front doing work ostensibly for De Gendt. Devolder's joining in too!

Guess he needs the effort in the legs.

    Oh and there's a 5 man break...

    De Gendt's not in the break?! What a loser.

    Not very exciting so far.

    The 90 degree left-hand turn with 300m to go could cause some problems if the hill doesn't break the bunch up.

    No, a bit pedestrian.
    This edition of P-N has a lot of stages where the final climb is a ways off the finish.
    Still, I see there are plenty of threads on Franco Pellizotti in which to vent a bit.

    Oops Steegmans take a tumble!

    That has to be the worst push off from a mechanic that I've ever seen!

    Judging by yesterday's profile, he must have got it by going over a speed bump.

    Is that Sammy Sanchez chasing Voeckler?

    Edit: Izagirre

    Voeckler breaks the monotony.

    Exciting stuff, I really thought Thomas had that for a minute. Bravo Goss.

    I typed "Matt Goss" this morning and then thought "naaaaah"

    Bloody useless

    So close for G then...Goss takes it

    Nice of Sagan to stick his bike through someones front wheel whilst on the deck :shock:

    Just seen the replay....that was shocking by Sagan imo
