Canc-Thor-Ballan have 30 seconds over the Flecha group. Unless more people catch from behind and start chasing that gap will only get bigger.

If Thor wins this by sitting on Fabian's wheel it will be a crying shame. At this point, he does not deserve to win at all.

Bit worried about Ballan though - he looks pretty comfortable

I think Ballan once they arrive at the front - will go on the attack pretty soon and take Canc with him. ...

Considering how Cancellara can ride I would expect any rider to just try and follow him at this stage of the race. They need to get him tired so that he doesn't just drop them on Carrefour de l'Arbre.

That's what Canc gets for moving to a weak classics team.

Well if you look at the names it's not that weak and they did well at MSR but in E3, Ghent, RDV and P-R they sucked .... if Canc was still with Riis, he'd have a team mate in front

Why should Thor work at this point? It's not his fault Laypard Trek had a weaker team. Plus he's got 2 guys in the break.

Says back up 35 seconds - Spart is using quite a bit of energy - Perfect for Smash seriously. The longer it takes Spart to catch... the better Thor's chances get

That is kinda the downside if you humiliate the bunch from 40k out. That from about 40k out they will wheelsuck, and quite rightly.

Cancellara playing chicken now :D

As soon as Cancellara finished his turn... the gap opened up.

Oh no... Cancellara having words with Hushovd and Ballan. I don't think he's happy.

Wow. He's actually having a whine about this.
