    They should wait for the rest of peloton behind and restart the chase.

    Although Omelette Het Nosebladder and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne are on consecutive days this isn't a stage race. They are separate sportives.

    FDJ should think about joining in to give Demare a chance.

    In the economy of selling your services for donkey work, how much do you reckon you get for KBK? Beer at the finish?

    Vansummeren needs to chill out and not do anything.

    I've got a dodgy feed, but it seems there are less guys working in the chase group to the front group.
    Surprised to see the Topsports guy and Van Summeren going through.

    Think LeFevre giving the Topsport lad a bottle there answered that one

    Still with a couple of annoying commercials, though.

    He's been riding on the front of the chase group along with Stannard and Knees. So he's doing his job.

    Sporza having a little reminisce about the Echelon!!!!!!!!! Stage of the Tour.

    Hey guys I'm ok! Took a chainring to the ribs, and will need some stitches in my knee. Crash was unavoidable, hate that...! #KBK

    If they make it Boonen is odds on favorite, so does he sit on now? Can't see if he's going through.

    It is interesting to note that van Summeren is one of the few Garmin riders not to wear the silly Poc goggles and he is in the front group. Just saying... :wink:

    Oh look Katusha decide to do some work.

    If the two best classics teams with good representation and cohesion cant hold off a handful of riders chasing them then I will not be impressed.

    It's become completely predictable, in terms of the chase.
    Very different from yesterday's bag of tricks.
