    Gerrans has his nose in the wind. Double take. OPQS rider on his wheel.

    Reza nice attack on the climb and his teammate sat up and they are now together about to rejoin those four in front (Nova rider dropped).

    I'm live then, saw the Reza attack just before the Italian TV stream went to an ad break!

    Gerrans 12secs back. Serry is the OPQS. Peloton disjointed at 30 secs.

    I cant believe my eyes. Never seen the aussie on the front for so long.

    Think Leukemans just caught hi,.

    40ks.

    Nice part of the world, looks a bit like Devon with narrow lanes and short, sharp hills.

    Looks like Reza made it across to the break though. One Yellow Fluo dropped.

    This IAM rider is strong - basically dragged the break for most of the way and still going strong.

    Confusing coverage as it only shows one group on the time bar but there are still two small groups in front albeit not by much. 39km to go.

    Yup Brandle is their leader for the Ardennes I think?

    Time gaps up now. 8" and 18". Someone gone solo off the front but my definition is too low to know what team!

    United Healthcare rider now caught, IAM rider gone instead (Fumeaux).

    Edit looks like he's trying to bridge. Break opening a bigger gap again.

    Big group up the road but the Peloton looks quite relaxed.

    Gerrans forcing the issue. This group of 10 or so have 40secs on the peloton with 35km to race.

    Peloton now at 57" looking disinterested and chasers at 45".

    Struggling with names but chasing 5 include IAM, Polsat, Europcar and Colombia. BMC pulling the bunch back.

    Fumeaux, Quemeneur and Paterski who used to ride with Cannondale in that 5 man chase group, but almost caught.

    BMC and Giant decide enough is enough of this break nonsense...
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Gerrans working hard here, one dropped from the break. Looked like spectators were blocking the road but race turns into what looks like someones driveway!
