That climb was barely deserving of the name, oh well. Looks like a bunch sprint, and my prediction of Gilbert for the win in the podium picker contest is out the window.

Liquigas getting their train in place, no-one else looks like taking it on yet.

I don't see many Sky boys up there, looks like Hendy may have to get what he can on his own.

No one team has managed to take control, it's a bit crazy up at the front, and the twisty course is making it tough for people to get organised.

Uggghhh. Now a crash... Whoever chose that run-in to the finish deserves to be shot. Crazy route selection.

Nice win for Bonnet.

The Australian commentator I've got seems adamant it's him. I've got crappy pictures anywho.

I knew Bbox would do something today :D

Dan Martin too, I think. It looks like that QS guy just powered in to the back of his teammate.

Haussler and Greipel nowhere to be seen in the sprint.

What a horrible course finish. Are the organizers actually looking for carnage?

Nice to see BBox get over the line first however. I hope AC is OK

To be fair to the organisers I think the tailwind made that finishing section a LOT faster than they had expected.

Well there goes the podium contest... Again.

I had Lorenzetto in 3rd, and he finished 4th... Means i'm probably closest to victory. :p
