    Only looks like Katusha are working. The rest have people in G1 I think.

    Stupid internet. Peloton might be just about out of it, but group 2 are edging closer.

    2011 and Thomas made a break with Nuyen getting on his wheel. Thomas was 2nd.
    Sorry he did it on the Nokereberg.

    Over the last short climb the pace increases but no gaps. Then Stannard makes a move and creates a gap but it is shortlived.

    Voeckler has attacked. Gap forming, 10 maybe 15 seconds?

    So close! He couldn't hold on

    Gatto takes the win on the line

    Think Gatto owes Stannard a couple of Beligan beers.

    Nice try from TV

    Every day Voeckler doesn't win is a good day.

    Shame. Gatto takes it.

    If Stannard wants to ride like that he needs to do it with more to go.

    That's a horribly vindictive thing to say about any rider...

    ...and I completely agree with you. Can't put my finger wholly on what it is about him, but I reallydon't like him.

    Feel a little sorry for Tommy V, but that's racing.

    Stannard cementing his status as Certified Beast©.

    Would rather Voeckler than any of the top ten bar Stannard

    It's undoubtedly impressive, but he needs to start using his head a bit as well. Although in this case I guess it's not his fault that Hayman got beaten on the line.

    No worries, I feel better already for that pat on the head ;)

    Well I managed to miss most of the last 5k.

    Maybe a good last effort from Stannard but it made little sense since Hayman was so poor in the end.
