    Declerq seems to be on duty to stop anyone else getting away which seems odd so early in the race.

    Jordi Meuss also off on the same spot from the peloton.

    The break have now lost both Doull and Kung and the gap is closing.

    10km to go...

    Fair play, that was a decent wheel change from the Shimano mechanic.

    Skittles. Bit of an insurance claim on the parked car on the outside of the bend. Kung down again, needs to look at his tyre ) pressure choices.

    Groupama big sliding chute which has Kung tasting tarmac for the second time, even before the cobbles.

    Kung then loses his nerve on another corner and goes so wide he actually had to go behind a parked car.
