    The new, dirt sectors prove decisive.

    Not decisive, it's all pretty much back together again, but those that chased back on will have very heavy legs.

    Crash again, Kristoff down but up, Tony Martin not up - didn't want anyone touching him eiather, collarbone maybe?

    Sagan was involved as well, though don't think he went down. Made it back but he's got a long way to work up through the peloton.

    Not been much to shadow so far, truth be told. There were some splits earlier at various places, but no real attacks.

    GVA, Sagan, Degenkold, EBH, Terpstra and another QS have a gap after the descent.

    And that's the split. The third group looks like it's sat up. Some serious firepower up front now.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Group of 7 approaching from behind, has Trentin in. Group probably now too big to work.

    Big enough - and sprinty enough - group that Sagan can't be forced to do all the work, which'll help him.

    Chasing group can't get organised. Two QS obviously not contributing, Bling Mathews acting the complete and utter dick with a teammate up in the front group.
