Gougeard!

He was dropped in the last hill.

Jesus Herrada attacked from the peloton but I'm not sure the timing was right.

25K to go.

Vanmarcke - Hayman - Chavanel - Nordhaug - Oomen (?) attacked among others.

Is there a ticker because I don't have flash so can't watch.

Who's the guy from Wanty in the break?

Re:

None of them are working, they are getting motorpaced.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Are my eyes deceiving me or did I really just see Matthews attack

 

[Alexandre B.]

Naesen wins!

Quality racing!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Naesen wins a solid edition. Congrats IAM et al.

Refreshing to see a break stay away like that in a one day race

Re:

Not really if you noticed why they stayed away...

 

[pastronef]

ahi, shame, I hoped for Cannondale to win somenthing

 

[wirral]

Naesen paid Bettiol for the win.

I didn't catch the hole race. Why did they stay away?

Wow ! Peleton stuffed that up big time - Leaders had 11 sec with less than 3kms to go - This should never happen.

 

[Gigs_98]

Strange race. Matthews attacked and blew up the chase, then he didn't follow GVA and Costa. Then GVA didn't want to work with Costa for some reason and the waited for a group behind them which also didn't work well, so the peloton caught the attackers again but due to the attacks on the final climb which led to nothing they couldn't catch the break anymore
