Engoulvent has given up hope of catching the break. The six now lead the peloton by close to four minutes.

Marcel Kittel (Giant-Shimano) could be the first rider to ever win three consecutive editions of Scheldeprijs but he denied he's under pressure to win again.

The peloton is refusing to let the break gain more than five minutes, sparking an average speed of 45km/h for the first hour or racing.

One rider not in action at Scheldeprijs is Zedenek Stybar. The cyclo-cross world champion is an outside favourite for Paris-Roubaix but according to his Twitter feed he opted to go for 160km training ride before hitting the sofa to watch the Scheldeprijs on television.

The Belkin and Ag2r-La Mondiale teams are leading the chase. Belkin has Theo Bos for the sprint.

The six breakaways are working smoothly together but the peloton is keeping them under control.

The Belkin team has a trio of sprinters in its squad for Scheldeprijs. Theo Bos is perhaps the fastest of the three but Markus Barry and Moreno Hofland are also fast.

Can they work together to beat Marcel Kittel and Giant-Shimano?

Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing) is in action today, preferring to race than train at home.
