    Sky rider in the ditch! Looks very bad
    It's possibly Stannard

    Hope he recovers for Roubaix - not good to crash twice in two races.

    Commentators thought Stannard but weren't sure.

    NetApp rider, Voss I think managed to get going again. No chance for Stannard though - hope its not too serious.

    Definitely Stannard again. (this year's Thomas) Lotto rider took the blame, I think.

    Just seen a clip of Stannard in the ditch. While he was in no hurry to get out, the way he was holding his weight, both arms out straight, did not suggest a collar bone injury. Fingers crossed for April.

    Grivko, Mondory and Parrinello have caught up with Dillier who are between the leading group and the peloton. Only around a minute between each.

    That canadian memorial is crazy, they tell you not to step off the paths as there's hunnards of unexploded shells under the ground.

    Cheers, you're right, then its 40" between G1 and G2.

    Must be close to the hills for the second time around, starting with the Baneberg.

    I love the positional fight on these little roads.

    Can't wait to get out that way next weekend.

    Boaro gets a nice moto tow for a while and attacks up the Baneberg.

    From CN ticker: Marcel Seiberg (Lotto Belisol) gets a wheel change from a teammate. He is a vital lead out man for Greipel and will fight to get back on.
