    Hagen down. Caught out by offredo.

    Other way round.

    I don't think he hit the deck. Offredo went down and EBH had to unclip. Trying to chase back to Terpstra and Boom now.

    We are getting a good vintage, too.

    Yes, well, not everybody would understand that.
    Besides, it is THE race. :wink:


    E3 is better. The omloop could do with a hill nearer the finish.

    Terpstra must just be marking the front for Tom

    Just changing my diaper. Any chance of a lazy Stybar update? Cheers.

    Ciolek looking like he's out for a spin.

    Looking good for the break. Not many teams behind looking capable to organise something. Series of cobbled sections coming up from 27 km to go on

    Great faces from Boom and Terpstra

    Except in recent years it's got that bloke, Fabulous Candelabra.

    Difficult for BMC here. They won't get any help from teams who are represented further ahead.

    Starting to look like a healthy gap and perfect situation for OPQS.

    Eddy's back.

    Front three have 46 seconds on the peloton.

    Not sure why Eddy bridged alone, the other two looked likely to get across.

    EBH, Terpstra, Boom with Demare and Van Bilsen. 42 secs, 29 km to go.

    Surely you're not questioning EBH's tactical awareness Pross?

    Still vansummeren on the front of peloton. No use. Bellkin in his wheel won't help.

    Silly me, I forgot he had to get to the front ready to lead the others out.

    Bellkin going full rabo. Boom pushes as Vanmarcke pushes. No earpieces.

    What's going on with a Spaniard at the front of a cobelled race? :shock:

    EDIT (other than Flecha).

    Is Vanmarcke trying to join Boom up the front?
