    The ball is on Belkin to do something.

    I was thinking that the pressure was on Boonen.

    Why? Well, pressure perhaps but he's surely happy with this coming together.

    Would like Trentin to win or Hofland. Lampaert would be sweet too.

    By the way, Richmond park is a lot windier than it is there.

    Just got back from the club run, looks like someone dropped the ball when they let FIVE OPQS riders in the break!

    To be honest, I wouldnt be surprised if Sep is faster than Haf...he is in great shape and has beaten Boonen in a sprint before.

    How likely is an OPQS 1-2-3?

    Well, he either uses all his guys to lead him out or launches someone for Belkin to chase down

    Oh well, they messed up just like a lot of other teams - same with yesterday. It just so happens he is riding a ton on the front and the others are struggling to keep up with him so he has to keep letting up.

    People who've ridden a ton on the front:

    Bak, Roelandts, Eisel, Knees, Stannard, Paolini.

    Everyone else has been happy to sit in.

    Wow a Giant on the front and now and FDJ. Hello gentlemen.

    Teams who haven't been on the front once and who have no one in the front group: BMC.

    Greipel is too big a favorite for the rest of the teams to reeeally wanting to dig in, though.

    Yeah fair point.

    Extremely unlikely with all the Belkins in there.

    I can't believe the gap back to the peloton is going UP.

    Because you have two very solid blocks of strong domestiques in the break working. The peloton is not necessarily faster than the break

    There's your QS guy sent up the road.

    They'll just keep doing that until Belkin are wasted

    Boonen isnt wearing his gold sunnies but some other OPQS rider is...

    Good job Boonen. Just a sprint in the end. Excellent work by Belkin for making the selection and then OPQS for putting numbers in then working hard.
