    Loving this 'roubaix' style 900m stretch in the French race.

    Turgot has attacked and is a few 100m behind the 7riders in front.

    It's great isn't it. Sylvain Chavanel using it for an attack.

    Edit: The race is in bits.

    Chavanel and Terpstra looking very easy (this is where it gets confusing)

    Wow, Chavanel goes like a monster and has all the riders eating their handlebars.

    Nearly making the junction to the guys in front.

    Super windy so there is no cover. He attacks hugging the left of the road.

    Chavanel so strong compared to the rest.

    22km, 25secs from him to Vichot.

    No idea where Voeckler is. Not seen him once.

    250km race in France. 220km in Belgium I think.

    Gap still at 40secs. Not much racing just two groups going round.

    LOL.

    It is selfish of Sky not to provide coverage of the race so you can watch it for free on a dodgy internet feed.


    Actually looking forward to ITV4 coverage....they do a really good job on highlights.
