    Who's going to pull these two back? Rowe and Greipel won't close it alone, they're knackered. Will Etixx work?

    Not sure Etixx will work to pull back Terpstra - unless Vandebergh is there...

    If they leave this all up to Rowe in this group. Kristoff and Terpstra are not coming back.

    Kristoff being chased by Greipel? Well, it's different.

    Etixx can't be too confident of Terps beating Krostoff surely?

    Giant look to have 5 riders, yet not one bit of help in chasing. Such a rubbish team.

    Think those two are going all the way. Still time for the bunch to sort their shit out though

    Oh well, Sep gone, no fun. Shame Cancellara or Boonen is not here.

    Wiggins nowhere. Usual useless teammate.

    What kind of parcours is this, not very useful for the attacker.

    Lampre, Astana and BMC need to do a shift here - Rowe and Griepel have been on the front for the last hour!

    Giant let everyone else do the work, never chase anything and then steal it all at the end

    Some strong guys from behind need to give that big group the jump. If they chase with the big group it wont work. G. needs to attack and bridge across before the Kwaremount otherwise its curtains.

    Cos they are relying on Terpstra losing Kristoff before the final 500m and have numbers behind.

    Who are Astana riding for? Surprised to see them with so many in the front group.

    Can anyone bridge solo?

    Sky only have Rowe and G. Rowe probably wasn't capable any more, maybe G decided this wasn't going to be the move.

    Does G try and bridge across over the Kwaremont or does he sit in and hope?
