It's gotta be Moser for Italy now. Nobody'll let Nibali get anywhere and he won't have the sprint to win this...

 

[Mellow Velo]

Not enough damage done, I'm afraid.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

This race is looking more and more like it is playing into Boonen's hands.

I spy 3 people climbing as well who I wouldn't back him to outsprint

 

[meat puppet]

voeckler is looking good but perhaps advertising it a bit too much.

a spaniard to win, I think.

 

[burning]

It seems that this is going to be for sprinters?

 

[royalpig180]

Spain needs to do something, they've got such a presence in this group...

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

It must be time for some Tommy Voeckler face making?

Boonen looking seriously relaxed.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Spain needs to do something, they've got such a presence in this group...

they have freire.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Spain needs to do something, they've got such a presence in this group...

Too many cooks in the kitchen for Spain. They don't know who to work for who.

 

[Netserk]

Boonen the best one day racer in modern time if he wins today

 

[Parrot23]

they have freire.

Yup, this is favouring him and Valverde.

No one has mentioned Gerrans yet!

 

[will10]

JTL can only win this solo.

And that would be pretty epic.

 

[Kwibus]

Degenkolb still in the first group.

 

[hfer07]

Uran in rainbow colours for sure!!!!

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Sagan ftw.

 

[royalpig180]

I suspect you're right. The Belgians seemed to have done a good job of avoiding that...

 

[will10]

Riding mega smart as usual. Can absolutely see him winning this in a small group

 

[luckyboy]

Boonen the best one day racer in modern time if he wins today

He is even if he loses

 

[Netserk]

Piti to lead out Freire?

 

[Netserk]

He is even if he loses

ATM he is behind Bettini IMO

 

[bubblegum]

Yup, this is favouring him and Valverde.

No one has mentioned Gerrans yet!

your clearly not watching aussie TV

 

[burning]

Clarke is slaving mad at the moment

 

[Kwibus]

Not sure what Gilbert will do. If he goes all out on the Cauberg... what will happen?

Or will he hold back for Boonen? I can't see him holding back.

 

[Falken]

Come on now EBH.

 

[Kwibus]

2nd bunch coming back.
