    It looks great in the sun, but will it be hard to spot in a damp cobbled semi-classic in Flanders?

    km33, strong breakaway of 8 riders with 30s:

    Hushovd (BMC), Chava (IAM), Yates (OGE), Steegmans (OPQ), Engoulvent (EUC), Koch (CAN), Timmer GIA), Delaplace (BSE)

    EDIT:

    All change. Km34 - Timmer, Koch and Yates are between Chavanel and the peloton, 15s behind Chava, with the peloton 8s further back. Rest of the original break back in the peloton.

    A PTP pick should bring with it the right to upload messages of support, encouragement, even advice(!) to the rider.

    Came in 4th few seconds down. Fine finish when you see the state of Betancur - gasping.
