    Mad Wurtz down :-(

    Big crash about 30-40 riders back. Some Sky were down as well, looked like Thomas.

    Thomas was down, but he got up. Not sure Mads Wurtz was getting back on a bike. Magnus Cort was also down.

    Good on him. Shows he recognises their contribution and that he’s a team player

    He’s an accident magnet. Shame, I would have liked to see him give it some beans today

    Just back from my now traditional (as of last year) pre-Roubaix Cheshire cobbles ride, mine were very muddy.

    Has anything exciting happened?

    Crash took Roelandts and a teammate of BMC out.

    GvA and Maes had a bit of a chase.

    Sky have been crash happy and Thomas is out.

    Olivera has a broken collarbone.
