    So the BMC fronted group are behind the Boonen group?

    Oooo I love this.

    Yep. Boonen used a team mate to block while he attacked to bridge to the Thomas group. He's been gesticulating wildly for other members of the group to do some work since he reached them.

    Basically just Boonen and Thomas doing the work.

    Tommeke seems a bit desperate.

    Boonen on the charge on the cobbles of northern France is a thing of real beauty.

    He just looks incredibly comfortable. G just behind him is going well but nowhere near as fluid

    Unfortunately so. I want him to do well, so I'm hoping both your and Rick's posts about this turn out to be famous last words... :D

    I would like him to get the 5th. I fear he won't but it would be lovely considering his recent troubles.

    Wiggins could do with being a hundred feet up the peloton. Hushovd, no gloves, pure power.

    so what size gap do you reckon it needs to be for the group to stay away?

    Hopefully one of the riders will give him a clothes line as they go past

    Belkin went full gas to catch the Boonen group. When they literally were a few meters away they stopped and can now start chasing again. Weird logic.

    Getting the impression Fab has blown it already ... Nowhere near the front going onto this section which allows the guys in the break to push on on the pave ...

    Surprised the main group is taking it easy on this section, gap is going out.

    So at one point it was only 11 seconds back to the group, it's 33 and going up! When will Cancellara launch his attack?

    Kicking a pigskin around whilst pretending to be injured? I thought this was a civilised forum?
