who will win stage 3? can sky get back from their lousy performance of yesterday? will any of the teams try to split the field? I'm guessing sky will try especially after their Wigan like performance! Stage is 135km long

Good win by Boonen - he looks pretty good at the moment. pretty cruel to put a roundabout 200m from the finish line, though.
Crash in the last 200 metres, sorry but this race is a bit ridiculous, a roundabout in the last 300 metres, WTF. Hardly no spectators, would be more at a local amateur event in most countries.
1. Boonen
2. Haussler
3. Cooke
4. De Haes
5. Bennati
6. Wrolich
7. Phinney
8. Traksel
9. Farrar
10. Gilbert
From what i could see from the crash, one guy was grabbing his shoulder and one didn't move. No clue on who they are.
/edit: milram guy should be Ciolek.

That's just about a fatal blow for Milram. Sponsorship due to end, looking to Ciolek for results, and there goes his season, just like that. that's rough.

Okay... I know it's not a star studded field, but I'm a bit suprised to see Phinney in the top 10 in a bunch sprint. Were there odd circumstances that caused that to happen, or was that just where he finished in a straight sprint?

There was a crash ~250m out so it disrupted the field, the top4? had a bit of a gap.
Good for Boonen. Bad for Ciolek, but if you're going to break a collarbone, now is not the worst time of year to do it. Lots of racing ahead.
Phinney is impressive. I raced against him in the Tour of the Gila. It was, like, his third bike race as a 17 year old, and he tied for the GC win as a Cat 2. (Full disclosure: I was not the guy who tied him).
