    Do it before he gets murdered by the Belgian version of Pinkie Brown... :!:

    Excellent Brighton Rock reference, made my day!

    It made my day that someone understood it :)

    He knew, before he had been in Gent three hours, that they meant to murder him.

    Could someone tell me who the riders are in G1 please. I'm watching it on a bit of a dodgy stream and can't have the sound on at work.

    Westra is one. By the time I've found the other they'll be caught by G2 with Boonen, Flecha and others.

    Boonen, Flecha, Hayman, Hushovd, Breschel, Vanmarcke, Devenyns is all I got...

    Edit: that's the group chasing Westra and the other fella.

    Flecha and Boonen look like they are doing too much work, Hushovd as usual doing none.

    Boonen's always the same in this race. Just a form-tester for him. Bigger fish to fry in a couple of weeks.

    Breschel's looking good to me.

    If Breschel wins, whilst i will be very happy for him, i'll be proper PTP annoyed too!

    Boom tried to go around Boonen but he didnt give an inch. That will be a talking point after the race.

    Anything in this guys?

    Does Hushvod EVER do a real turn on the front or his usual "Soft tap" - Boonen and the bloke from garmin doing too much work on the front.

    Gap coming down, now 1 41, peloton completely splintered by the Mollenberg. BMC & Gilbert in a largish group off the front.

    Not the way I saw it. Boom just went off the road... normal race incident. Lucky his bike didn't take out more riders.

    Yes Hushovd off the back. Boonen take it to them, get out the saddle and do that bobble style, ha.

    Are they playing into the hands of what's left of the peleton. Strong group, but 1'40" and 30km?

    I think the peloton is going to swallow them up.
