    Look like Sky are auditioning to be the new Etixx today, how did that group get clear?

    Yeah, I'd better not mention what just happened to Boonen and Maes, then.

    Boonen made it didn't he?

    By the skin of his teeth. Nik Maes was well peed off.
    The Bike Channel picture looks like a pirate feed from the dark ages.
    TGFS.

    The race is well behind schedule.

    It's looking like the Trek Sunday club run at the front...

    Interesting front group. Etixx, BMC, Saxo, Trek, Lotto.

    CyclingHub feed much better than the Bike Channel, even with my non-existent knowledge of Dutch (or is it Flemish?)

    I did wonder for an embarrassingly long time why lots of villages had a road called 'kop van de wijstrijd' or whatever it is... :oops: :lol: :oops: :lol:

    Qhubeka doing lots of work this race. Must think EBH has legs.

    He does. Looks very comfortable.

    Jumbo have done plenty more work even after Sep rectifying the split himself, so he must be feeling great....

    Sep hasn't punctured yet? Does he know he's in Belgium?

    Excellent feed from cycling hub and have managed to sync the commentary from Bike channel, so now have good pictures and English commentary, thanks.

    Big attack by Sep.

    Sep goes, looks seriously strong (as always).

    Sweepstake on which bit of bike will give up the ghost:
    1) Puncture
    2) Front mech
    3) Rear mech
    4) The frame will just not bear the stress

    And guess who's gone with the group? Sagan, again.

    Always. There.

    Though you have Canc and Sagan gritting teeth and Sep shirking a turn so they're going fast.

    But that group will get back.

    Trentin's in the hot seat.

    They needed the Rowe group with them to stand any chance.

    2nd group leaving it to Quick Step to chase.

    Rowe shirks the turn.
