    Should pay more attention then.

    Why? Where is he? That's Stannard in the second group.

    CN's ticker seems to think he's there:

    Peloton is smashed to bits behind apparently.

    Wolvenberg is a brute.

    Well CN need to learn the difference between a Norwegian flag and a Union flag.

    Presumably Terpstra is going ahead to be of use later on for Tom post Molenberg

    You're probably right, they also placed Terpstra ahead of the break 10 minutes ago.

    OK got myself a decent feed on the big screen, haven't got a clue what language but assume Dutch or Flemish and can't quite work out the race situation. A good way to learn a foreign language even if I don't know which one. Just discovered my PS3 is good for steaming, never thought to do it before!

    Right I'm tuned in with a bit of a stop start feed but beggars can't be choosers. Good hard-man conditions. From what I can see/make out Belkin are looking quite active.

    The peloton seems to have regrouped behind.

    Edit - well what is left of it.

    I thought Sporza's ticker might help me with this, but Google Translate has confused me even more:

    "Terpstra is the next of the OP-QS stable that steals away his stocking feet.
    With only 54.4 km on the menu, he plays the role of lightning rod with gusto"

    "Taaienberg throws Vanmarcke first bomblet.
    With a flourish and mouth wide open he drives everything and everyone in the destruction."

    Sep wasted a lot of pointless energy for nothing. Boonen has hardly used anything yet. Expect a huge attack from him later.

    Np. It was too good not to bring out beforehand. I will be on a Boonen one then no doubt.

    So basically Vanmarcke, Vandenbergh, and Terpstra are feeling very bullish.

    Very bullish.
