Eurosport live from 13:30. No raw feed today, only the E2 broadcast (shame).

blazing_saddles

Sporza just about starting coverage.
Naesen had a bit of a minor mechanical but is back in.

Right live with 97kms to go and the break only has 30 seconds.

bobmcstuff

Eurosport is live too.

Break is going to get caught very early, currently have 23s with 96km to go. Interesting to see what happens from the peloton once that happens.

bobmcstuff

Gaviria gone backwards... PTP disappointment again!

Not sure if mechanical or just rubbish...

ShutupJens

Looks like no legs for Gaviria

Serious group in front now, 73km with 40 seconds, only yellow lotto chasing it seems

Vino'sGhost

Beautiful weather for it.

NL Jumbo and Scott doing the work to bring the break back but its like hard work.

And good presenters too

Yeah when I posted he'd just dropped back out of the peloton and was looking round like he was looking for the car. But not long after it was clear it was just bad legs...

I put my lack of form today as the result of frozen bearings

Hard to see this not ending in a bunch sprint.

it is now that the bunch has caught the break (minus2)

ShutupJens

"reigning champion Jasper Stuyven" you sure Declan?

bobmcstuff

Puncture for Oss, if it wasn't a lost cause before it is now.

ShutupJens

Break starts to pull the gap out aaaaaand Oss gets a flat. That's unfortunate

blazing_saddles

Modolo crashes out again.

bobmcstuff

Modolo down - and that's even less chance for EF now...

ShutupJens

Took a big knock to the head there, that won't be fun to deal with

ShutupJens

Quickstep have replaced Stijn Vandenbergh with another huge unit who's now helping with the chase, any idea who that is?

blazing_saddles

Astana have a mass fail.

Yup, Cort Nielsen and Lutsenko down...
