    Trentin has dragged it back and called it a day. Bit surprised by that...



    Ballerini too
    Both crashed earlier then came back to do a huge effort in chasing the Remco break.

    Several outside bets getting dropped now including Ewan.

    Is it going to be one of those weird races where all the action was early on and it then becomes more predictable? Wasn't there a PR a few years ago a bit like that?

    Pollitt makes a second dig and gets a gap. No-one seems to want to ride with him.

    Brits managing to keep covering every move. Small group now away. Remco, Tratnik and maybe Swift again? All in the original dangerous break

    Actually looks like GB missed this one, Swift on the front of the bunch

    All the major countries represented except GB, first time they weren't up there.

    Not sure Belgium will be happy with just Remco up there.

    Bluff it .... Make the Belgiums commit

    Don't chase... see if the Belgiums believe remco has it

    There's no first choice riders in that break so I'm not convinced many teams will be happy for the gap to go out. No team with multiple riders either so yes sit up and let others control it

    The USA kit looks like a blue jacket and red tie.

    I'd be useless in a race like this. I'd panic about every break.

    Break has split, now only 5 riders so more teams now needing to work but the peloton is tiny.

    Loads of little gaps appearing.

    Would like to see van Baarle win from this front group. Does so much work all year and rarely gets a chance to ride to his potential.
