Ivanov has been spotted somewhere.
I think it's the Hushovs group, but not sure...

Yes, he was mentioned in the captions for the Hushovd group.

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster.

Anyone got a comprehensive list of the (important) abandons?

@Dim: thanks again for the feeds

Boonen, flecha, erm.. i vaguelly remember nuyens abandoning

 

[Hawkwood]

Another long-time reader. Hi everyone. Great race. Sporza's working great for me.

 

[Big GMaC]

damn. winds are nuts!

 

[Sasquatch]

Peloton need to speed up a bit before it falls to pieces. Freire and Farrar must be in the peloton unless one of them bridged across with the other riders.

Yes, he was mentioned in the captions for the Hushovd group.

Sporta commentators confirmed that this was a false positive, pop up was wrong.

 

[TRDean]

How big is Thor's group, and the peleton??

 

[Anonymous]

so is there 55k to go, or 35k to go.. i didnt notice if they took the 20k off..

I'm a little confused with this too..

 

[ingsve]

Really unorganized. Cervélo was the ones chasing and now they instead attack an noone else reacts. I'm guessing we might eventually have six leaders and a chasing peloton.

 

[Sneekes]

I think it's 33k to go, I don't recall is skipping from 80 to 60

 

[sublimit]

Nice too see Hunt up there. Cervelo want this one i reckon 52 K to go

Stannard is a tough bike rider!

 

[ak-zaaf]

I'm a little confused with this too..

Since they're constantly saying there will be just the regular 2 laps when they hit Kuurne I'm guessing it's 33 now.

Ah ok...Can't really pay attention to the commentators, Flemish is greek to me...

Hushovd is going hard with Roulston and Hunt, one minute behind the lead group, half a minute ahead of the larger group,

 

[Mellow Velo]

It's over for the second group. Shack were too slow to send Rast to help Chavanel and everyone else is sitting on.

Looks like it's between the 6, when Hushovd's little gang get up.

Well, I personally felt it went very quickly from 80 something to 60 something and have no recollection of ever seeing 70 something left.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

meanwhile that 3rd group is losing ground

 

[zapata]

Hushovd almost a minute ahead of third group, now.

15:27 CET

If you look at the six leaders (two groups of three) you will notice -- none of them are Belgian......

Not a good day today either for the belgians. Saving themselves for RVV it seems...
