    Well I think this could get boring now.

    A few attacks go
    OPQS mark them and bring them back
    Boonen attacks or wins the sprint.

    Poor Fabian. In the form of his life and now this.
    Buggrit. Should have picked Tommeke for PTP.

    Sky still have Stannard, Knees, Hayman, EBH, Eisel and Flecha up there... do they know what to do though?

    I hope an outsider wins now.

    Someone like Langeveld or Steegmans.

    Think Sky could pull this off if they are intelligent about it. Bernie is in great form...

    Probably couldn't find a petrol station that was open before leaving the UK.

    The guys on Sporza are getting a bit concerned about Boonen, seems he's at the back.

    Confused as to why Tyler got in that early break. He always rides strongly in this race...

    Boonen at the team car. Mechanical? or just getting towed up the climb?

    You see, you've just highlighted their biggest obstacle there.

    Who will I pick for paris-roubaix now. Can't pick Boonen because he does my swede in.

    Hope Boonen doesn't get the win today lol.

    Gilbert going early, he can't be feeling all that great.

    I think Canc being out makes it harder for Boonen. He is one of the few that could go with him when the hammer goes down. Reckon he could end up being in a bigger group than he would like at the end.

    More their unique ability to ride themselves out of great positions.

    Gilbert has his sex face on. Not looking comfy for him.
