Break of 5 at ~1 min, Jesse Sergeant, Marcus Burghardt, Rafaa Chitioui, Lieuwe Westra and Alessandro Bazzana.

Bennati 2nd, Eisel 3rd.0

Interesting top 3... good for them!
GC unchanged I presume...0 -
Powerful from Demare, very decent Eisel. Where the hell did Griepel go?0

Yep
It was a bit crazy there - but fun0 -
Lotto train was going well on the right, but most of the peloton split to the left in the final 500m, left Lotto swamped.Smokey Bacon wrote:Powerful from Demare, very decent Eisel. Where the hell did Griepel go?0 -

Ta, couldn't make it out with the rubbish feed quality.0 -
Eisel finishing top 3 on the stage - that'll please FF who has been scathing of Eisel putting the hard yards in and just rolling in down the field. I think 7 OPQS finished in the top 15 which is a pretty impressive show of force...http://www.georgesfoundation.org

Don't be silly: it's just proof that boring boring Sky controlled the whole stage. No panache, that lot.0 -
Eisel finished 12 mins adrift on GC.

Ah yes. I'm going to say that they wearing leaders jersey skinsuits. The hem of the jersey where it meets the 'short' is too flat and smooth. Perhaps the race organisers arranged leaders jersey skinsuits as many of the teams planned on wearing them.Correlation is not causation.0 -
Yeah that could be a good explanation - so many riders were wearing skinsuits throughout so maybe that was requested from the race teams.Contador is the Greatest0
