    Naesen problem, quick change though and back up and running. Kruisberg not likely to provide too much action, all going to go down on the Kwaremont

    Van der Poel what a ride... GVA still up there, Jungels on the front.

    Stybar is the new Vanmarcke.

    Kristoff seems to be the new Quintana. :P

    Quick step finally put under pressure and found wanting... a week earlier than last year.

    Far too big a group, someone needs to make a selection soon

    Fair play, Bettiol has put it in up there! Good gap, what's he got left?

    At 17k he had 10s. 16k he had 200m. Not sure what it translates to.
