    Lots of people held up by that. And there endeth the lesson of the importance of positioning in Flanders.

    Most definitely. They repair the Roubaix pavees every now and then, I think it's the same with Flanders.

    Apparently, safety is now important..

    Difficult to get to by side of road and no caravan of cars. Not even motobikes are allowed up there.

    Did Cancellara crash at this feed last year?? He was again in a tricky spot going through the feed with a BMC ride swinging his bidon around.

    The Monument of Truth for EBH. He missed the carnage for once. Nobody will believe him if he goes now. Then Chava, GVA sneak up...

    RLT looking a lot stronger than the pre-race chat about them...

    Looks like Thomas has EBH and at least another Sky rifer in there. Probably Hayman.

    Anyone else really surprised by the strength Radioshack at this late stage? I was expecting Cancellera to be exposed.

    And now he's punctured, this will be interesting...
