    ~20mins of pain left for the breakaway duo, as the peleton winds their effort up and sprint teams try and set themselves up.

    It's got to give Cav a bit of spark the fact he's won here before.

    Shows what I know. So near yet so far, that last 700m seemed to go on forever.

    Philipsen is just the best sprinter in the race at the moment.

    Jeepers. Did Philipsen shove Grmay into the barriers there?

    Seemed to catch Philipsen by surprise when he thought he was cruising to the win and he just about got into the slipstream. I still don't know have Cav got back through, he seemed way too far back with 2km to go and then on the narrow section it looked like he couldn't find a way through before suddenly appearing at the front a bit too early. Maybe Philipsen will get relegated for some infringement.

    He did.
    Surprised nobody has spotted it.

    Quick step riding sprints like it's 2013. Lads, you're burning yourself up by 5km to go.

    HTC used to ride hard from 60km out. No one else has done that since.
