    Rodriguez crashing has more implications for Fleche Wallone I think. He was nailed on for that unless Gilbert is back in top form.

    If you want to see some exciting racing you should watch Tro Bro.

    Just realised there's actually a live stream for that race. Will do.

    Lots or reports of a broken leg for Voeckler. Terrible news.

    This peloton's going to be decimated by the time we get to the last circuit. Weening looks pretty strong.

    Finally some action. Hopefully it will open up now.

    Now it is getting interesting. Astarloza riding well and Weening came past JVS like he was standing still.

    Now we have two Blanco riders broken clear.

    Not that many team members left in the bunch.

    Love it - Spilak attacks, BMC closes it down. So Spilak waits 30secs and attacks harder and no one can chase him down!

    Any more riders shooting off the front and it will be Liquigas and BMC and maybe Movistar doing all the work.

    This is getting dangerous for Sagan and Gilbert.
