    Thomas in the mud

    Seems a good rider and is rated by internally Sky, but he sure seems to get into scrapes fairly often in these classics. Not sure if thats just because Im keeping an eye out for him.

    If that's Thomas' crash for the day, then this could be his best race of the classics season!

    Hang on chaps it might have finished Thomas's race (not as though that counts for much this season)

    Too much track riding, he can only turn left or go straight on

    I guess there is not much you can do if you get pushed out through the Arenberg. Looks quite narrow now the barriers are up and the ploughed bit on the other side.

    Don't know if Thomas actually crashed, looks like he might have just ended up off the road in the ploughed up section.

    They're going at a fair lick if that overhead is anything to go by

    I think we all seen Thomas's bike handling skills in the tour a few years ago and the Tour of Britain were he caused Ian Bibby to have a bad fall and never apologised. Just a bad rider who cant ride in a bunch.

    I don't think Hayman and steegemans can work The Shack hard enough but chapeau for trying. It was a plan between Lefevre and Sky wasn't it?
