Good luck getting the team cars' bikes under that low bridge.

A few K to go before the race starts for real.

 

[Bumeington]

How many of the Sky guys are actually working, just Vivani, Rowe and Eisel? Or have Wiggins and/or Stannard been on the front as well?

 

[doperhopper]

puncture now can be critical as cars are probably quite behind due to this air stupidity

Ettix has Van Keirsbulck in a counterattack group.

Sky trying to keep the group together; Ettix trying to send riders ahead.

Re:

The thing with the blow-up gate or whatever you call that was pretty funny. The most excitement in the last half hour anyway.

I agree they should make it a permanent fixture

I wonder if any race staff monitor those bridges. They would make a good souvenir for an excited fan. Someone should have seen it depressing and untied one end to get it off the road.

 

[Bumeington]

Offredo is off! Debusschere and Schar with him, Trentin trying to follow

and now let's see what marginal miracle this 8% faster on cobbles new Dogma can do for Sky

 

[ray j willings]

bmc looking strong

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Sky done, Thomas on his own.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Pippo going?

Re:

tactical masterclass as usual

 

[Bushman]

Pozzato!

Sagan looking good.

 

[TMP402]

After pulling for most of 200km, Sky manage to get Thomas in about P20. What the f**k was all that in aid of then? Jesus Christ

 

[glassmoon]

Sagan is there, Stybar nowhere in front?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Re:

Vanmarcke also far

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Yeah he was far back

 

[Bushman]

Trentin looked strong, closed the gap smoothly.

 

[Flamin]

Vanmarcke and Stybar pretty far back

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Well done from the two escapees. Keeping the advantage of 40sec

Edit: They'll be caught on Paterberg

They're improving, remember Leige 2013 went they were all over the front before the race was on and all had disappear by about 50k to go? Now they've all disappeared except 1, a marginal gain!

 

[Bushman]

Wow Trentin looks great.

Sky completely derailed?
