"195km - A host of early escape attempts failed but now nine riders have escaped: Romain Bardet (AG2R), Pello Bilbao (Euskaltel), Michel Kreder (Garmin), Alex Howes (Garmin), Steven Caethoven (Accent Jobs), Cedric Pineau (FDJ), Simone Stortoni (Lampre), Sébastien Delfosse (Landbouwkrediet), Delfosse and Eliot Lietar (Topsport Vlaanderen)."

bollox wrong Kreder in the break

Many people will probably be saying the same thing about the Pineau too.

French coverage all I can make out is they seem to like Andy Shleck

Gilbert looking ominous.

 

[1066familyman]

Has Oscar gone too early or can he hold out ? I think Cunego is looking dangerous.

 

[1066familyman]

I dropped Terpstra for this

 

[1066familyman]

Crash !

 

[Stat Brother]

The only mention of one of my 9 riders, is the Sky bloke who crashed.
So much for my confidence.

Was it Nordhaug or Montoya that crashed with Cunego ?

 

[Stat Brother]

Nordhaug I think

EBH tried a break from the chasing pack with about 10k to go I think it was, but soon got reeled back in. It was Cunego and we think Nordhaug that crashed in the sprint. I thought Cunego was looking good up to that point. Not many points for me in this one that's for sure.


Btw, thanks again for all your Paris - Roubaix advice. Loved it down there and will certainly try to go again next year.

Yes, do the forest its well worth it. I prefer Flanders a week earlier, but they are both amazing to be a part of, however they have taken the best bit out Geraardsbergen Kapelmuur, here is a clip of our last visit in 2010, the bit from where Cancella attacks Boonan (2.15 ish) to the top is truely bonkers amd always worth the drive.

3 top 20 finishers, Sanchez, NSC's own Ryder H and Gerrans.
No idea were Val Verde finished, which is a shame as he was my only 'star' rider not there.

 

[1066familyman]

4th, 13th, 16th & 20th for me. Valverde just outside in 22nd.

 

[culvers]

Terrible day for me, only Voeckler in top 20

Just watched the re run on Eurosport, I've done all right I think. So for me 2nd, 4th and 7th for a total of 81 points, up to third in our league, 9th in the South East and 138th overall. Shows that no one did that well out of this one, climbing so far for so few points, just looked it up, I scored the 12th highest points in the whole competition! People who picked Gasparotto? Three (as far as I can tell), his cost, 19.8! What a bargain.

Time to start that research for Fleche Wallonne.

The real peloton spent most of their podcast intermating that Dr Michele Ferrari was just about to 'drop the bomb'.

So stay tuned, if there's anything to hear, you'll hear it here, 3rd hand, eventually.
