    Gaudin of AG2R attacks, and a BMC follows. Small gap.

    BMC drives on but Androni obliges.

    Back quickly.

    Sky rider front wheel change.

    Cousin regains contact.

    Sky in force at front of peloton. Geraint there. Really expect him to show his face in the finale.

    Hushovd back on but back off going uphill. He should donate half his salary to rider development at BMC - they need it.

    Not even seen a glimpse of Boonen. Hope he is keeping his powder dry for a storming attack. He cant let Terpstra get any ideas.

    Looks like Hushovd pulls out. We will put this one down to recovering from injury...

    Sky back to the front again. Geraint must be feeling good. Lucky for him that Eisel is still there - that is an achievement in itself.

    100 riders in this peloton.

    Rick Zabel is riding. BMC have to rely on GVA - always reliable.
