    No. He could ride the cobbles instead of in the gutter.

    Ever ridden the Paterberg?

    Gutter is SO much faster.

    Or for normal people - gutter is the difference between making it or not...

    3 man group of Thomas, Sagan and Stybar go about 15 seconds clear. Don't think it will stick.

    Of course it's faster. That's my point. They should ride the cobbles.

    Sagan doesn't seem to hating the kwaremont as much as previous years.

    Sep chasing hard.

    They've got 12 seconds, Sep leading the chase.

    So out of Sagan, Stybar and Thomas who do you think will end up doing the most work and come 3rd?

    Front 3 working surprisingly well together. Chase group too big, no one working.

    Chase group is pretty strong with teams with multiple riders in it to help chase.

    Not surprising. They no they are all three strong and have no passengers. All three of them are pure racers as well.

    G can't help but make you smile.

    Yep, but they've squeezed a few more seconds out of them anyway, and that's on the good tarmac.

    Gap out to 23 seconds. Front 3 look strong.

    Saw a Sky helmet in the chasing group - Stannard?

    Thought Rowe and Stannard were both in it, but that was a few minutes back.

    Offredo trying to bridge. Nice. Don't think I've noticed him in a race since his faceplant.

    Gap edging down again. 17 seconds. Someone to try and bridge over?

    Timing issues again but it looks closer to 30 seconds. I don't mind who wins between Stybar and Thomas.

    Prove me wrong Gee! You re going to need to attack with 1-2km to go. Don't bother sitting on for a sprint oyu won't win!

    I know, but hopefully they can get the better of him. Thomas has a better sprint than Stybar but I think Stybar might have the better legs.

    Real test for G this. Him and Stybar need to work together and do the old one two on Sagan, but then its a lottery which of them gets away. Where was Vanmarcke when the attack went on Kwaremont? Surprised he missed it.

    Vanmarcke has been hanging around the back of the chasing bunch for the last 10 minutes. BMC on the front but not closing the gap.

    I forgive Brian for his pronunciations as he's laying in to the chasing group!

    BMC have the numbers, so they're doing all the work. Not fast enough though.
