    My bet on him acting like an anchor as usual.

    When i worked in a bookies, I was known as the jinx. No surprise that the rider j backed doesn't have it.

    Mads taking it into the next sector - sacrificed for Degenkolb. Rolf Sørensen far from happy.

    Degenkolb off the front, Lars Bak catches and passes him.

    Looking more and more like QS are all in for Twerpstra, wot with Stybar giving it out with 70kms to go and Gilbert already used as a hare.

    I know it's been mentioned a lot, but Sagan is way too upright on the cobbles. That side-on shot there, he looked like a sportive rider or something compared to all the guys he was with,

    You mean the shot where he just glided up the field to sit in 3rd wheel?

    Yeah, but he looked all wrong doing it :D

    Was plus 3 and one was Degenkolb, not looking like they're cooperating.

    I imagine Soler was just waiting on a drag. Hes certainly took to it.

    Terpstra has been completely invisible so far, which should be ominous for the others.

    Word in the peloton:
    "Don't catch Stybar yet, 'cos Terpstra will go!"

    Naessen puncture.

    Oss goes for a jump.
    Can't really see that working, but better than using him as a carthorse.

    That's got to sting a bit getting a puncture at a time like that

    Lars Bak going again. Super aggressive.

    Don't think he's passed his nightmare crash-bend yet though.

    Beuvry-la-Forêt looked pretty rough.

    Soler dropped off Stybars wheel.
