    He usually does, but Stannard looks shattered today.

    The Belgian commentary team just mentioned Thomas, Terpstra and someone else, but they weren't shown on screen. Have they retired? Crashed? Something else?

    Terpstra, Lofkvist and Thomas have attacked from the bunch.

    The 7 riders behind include Voeckler, Stannard, Gatto and Iglinsky.

    Vander is hammering it and Hayman is catching a breath.

    Roads are slick and narrow.

    Thanks - Belgian commentators talking about them again and I was wondering what was going on :)

    The riders behind are being led by Gatto up the gutter and are approaching the two in front

    Geraint has bridged so three Sky riders in the mix

    Stannard is not riding wheels but actually forging on...helping the others reach Hayman...

    The three up front have stopped riding

    Heh - Voeckler just took his helmet off, pulled a skull cap off and threw it to the side, then replaced his helmet and was entering a right hand bend no handed while he refastened the strap.

    I was pleased when I caught a rear wheel slide on a wet roundabout this morning, but I nearly fell off my desk chair just watching him do that.

    Hayman should sit on and win the sprint?

    That's not the Matt Hayman way! He's as bad as Stannard for enjoying hurting himself. One of those two will attack any second now I reckon.

    frenchfighter Posts: 30,642
    Gallopin has bridged I think. Devolder trying to bridge also. Both in the same team and bridged solo.......
