roelandst!!!collarbone methinks

 

[Rollthedice]

Sagan is already sitting on the wheels of Cancellara

That's all he has to do in theory, to win. Follow his wheel and outsprint him at the finish. That is if he can follow.

Ffs Roelandts

wow the crowds 130km before finish,amazing

Some positions (Oude Kwaremont for instance) have the race pass them 3 times - as well as the women's race.

In the case of the OK, it is 16, 54 and 150km from the finish.

The last 150km is in an area which (if you have a motorbike, or good legs for the shorter moves) allows people to move - check aerial shots after the riders pass and see the rush of people moving.

solid pit stop for Sagan,faster than Hamilton!

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Just read Roelandts crashed, feel sorry for him

Hopefully Gallopin can save the day for Lotto. I can see him do a top 10, but saving the day might require more of him than a top 10.........

Shame for Roelandts, the latest casualty.

Any news on how Vanmarcke is fairing after his tumble? Some reports that he was holding his collarbone, and I'm having trouble picking him out near the front.

 

[Netserk]

Molenberg up next.

Watching Eurosport and thankfully we have finally had an e mail about disc brakes. Almost ruined my afternoon.

[Arredondo]

Pozzato and Devolder are way back now

 

[TommyPlus]

Devolder back on the bike but on his own. Main group down to about 70 riders

 

[Flamin]

No worries. Devolder will be Nibali'd back to the peloton.
