    Looking at these roads, some more crashes are a possibility

    Pretty much, plus lots of crashing (inc Greipel, Thomas, Farrar among others).

    What should they be doing? Isn't chasing what they have teammates for?

    This is so annoying. Way too much flat after the Berg.

    Its a classic that has a small group still away with 3km left and a wide range of potential winners and you're still complaining!
    Just enjoy it

    Some high powered swearing from the Giant car there. Think they enjoyed that.

    The moustachiod German wins, whatever result. He didn't have the talent to be in the mix on Friday - Geraint and Terpstra dropped him. Don't see Boonen anywhere. edit, 5th

    GSHIM go to 15 wins on the year vs OPQS 16. Total Boss Team given their small budget etc.

    Sounds like a good race. Was it? Or was it just the crashes that made it exciting?
