Just going live, now:

What's the spoiler?

Just a warning that there'll be spoilers in the thread?

[edit]: Voeckler, two Radioshack riders, A Saur- Sojasun and a Bretagne-Schuller in the break, by the looks of things.

Well, in this case I suppose "spoiler" is a bit pointless. You can only watch it live, so you can't really give away the result before someone has watched the race.

That was the break.
Now we have individuals attacks starting as they have just under 50kms to go.

Love it. Tommy V dishing out the pain at the front. Thanks for the link!

He is certainly very "frisky", today. Reine Taaramae also now to the fore, as are Euskatel and of course, Vacansoleil.

Taaramae, Urtasun, Martias and Bert Scherlinckx with 50 secs.

Just gave a list of previous winners.
Of course.
Anybody remember Pavel Brutt's solo to victory, when he celebrated by throwing up, just after crossing the line?

I watched the video. Can't remember how long he was alone, but no wonder he puked. Some effort.

[edit]: Urtasun and Scheirlinckx drop their companions from he break.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Wow! Great crowds and I don't remember the finish looking quite so uphill....

Koldo Fernandez.

Koldo Fernandez ate Cervelo's gang for breakfast. They went too early.

Actually the Cervélo move maybe wasn't that bad. Only Fernandez could bridge the gap Haussler opened.
