    Who'd want to be on bottle duty there?

    I suppose using remco like this is not a total waste as long as no one sitting in on the front break doesn't clip off after doing nothing for 100k

    Italians won't be popular if they keep going through the fee stations at that pace.

    As epic as it all looks, I note that they still havent pulled back a break of (let's be honest) nobodies...

    I think Pippa has a bit of a crush on Tommy Voeckler. Has he turned into a bit of a silver fox in his 'old' age?

    His orgasm face must be quite something

    Back together, Remco still sitting on the front. Hasn't got the brains he was born with.

    Is anyone controlling this race?

    MVDP the wrong side of quite a big split. Front group about 80 strong.

    MVDP pulls clear of group 2 to cross with a couple of others.

    Been impressed with the Brits so far, had someone up the front to cover any moves and got Ben Swift in that dangerous break.

    Slovenia having a great race considering their lack of depth.

    Lesser teams have to take this opportunity.

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

    You can't let the Belgiums take it into the flandrian circuit if your a lesser squad ...looks like no one has anything left
