    Madiot is going to be happy FDj filling out the top 10. Offredo was there got 5th . I think Vichot booked his tour place

    I had a feeling when he was in the break he was going to do something

    Good to see Alex Blaine of Team Raleigh in the break. Last I heard these 11 had over 10 minutes on the peloton:

    Vichot (FDJ), Bonnet (FDJ), Engoulvent (SOJ), Paiani (SOJ), Médérel (SOJ), Blain (Raliegh), Tulik (EUC), Séb.Chavanel (EUC), Dion (BSE), Chainel (ALM), Poulhies (COF)


    No Ag2R? Looks good for Vichot?
    Chainel there from AG2R. I'd be surprised if they stay away but stranger things have happened.
    Ha. What do I know? Well done sir.

    Sorry, I'm watching on the TV, but I can tell you there is a break of 3 with 12" and 32k left to run.

    All Belgian streams appear to be geo-restricted. If one pops up I'll post

    Break in Belgium is an Astana, assuming Seeldraeyers, a Vacansoleil and a Radioshack. I've been popping in and out so I don't actually know who is who.

    If a WC wins their RR, how is the jersey reflected?

    It's not.

    Hushovd and Bettini were both national & world champs at the same time, but there was nothing extra on their rainbow jersey.

    Thanks Rich. That works out for the best. And then they get to wear the Nat stripes after the Worlds assuming they dont win again!

    UK:
    11mins to the peloton. Real strength in depth.

    Sounds like Cav is in a strong position now! Certainly the man to beat. Millar can play off the Sky v OPQS dual #anythingcanhappen

    The audio was terrifying.

    Lotto Belisol ‏@Lotto_Belisol 22m
    Only 36 out of 126 riders left in the race. #bklaroche

    Lotto Belisol ‏@Lotto_Belisol 35s
    1'03" for Stijn Devolder on a group of 13 with @vdb_jurgen. 17 KM to go. #bklaroche

    Gap going out. They really need to pull Devolder back as he will only represent the jersey in Flanders.
