'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Peter Sagan (Cannondale) is also in action today. It'll be interesting to see if he has a go in the expected sprint finish. He's sat quietly in the peloton for now.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The leaders are about to hit the next set of cobbles and their lead is at 2'17. Before they get there they have a climb to get over.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 There's a bit of action back in the bunch with Belkin jumping to the head of affairs and starting to set the pace. FDJ are paying close attention to this though and all of a sudden the pace jumps up.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 That move has had an instant impact with the gap now down to 1'52. It's all FDJ on the front with the odd Belkin and Giant Shimano rider in the mix. At the back of the field Bos is coming back after a quick comfort break.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The pace has eased a little bit in the bunch but the gap continues to come down, it's now at 1'37.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The leaders have responded, slightly, and draw out another ten seconds on the bunch.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Almost into the final 50km of racing and the peloton have allowed the leaders to push the gap back out to 2'14.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The break comes over the finishline for the first time. Blue skies and little wind, so the perfect race conditions for this time of year.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The peloton hits a section of pave but the chase remains steady. However the tension and speed is rising.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The race is close to Schoten and so begin the three finishing circuits.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Here comes the peloton, with riders santching bidons from their soigneur near the finish.
'Dale Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Garmin-Sharp has also placed two riders on the front to help the chase. Tyler Farrar is the US team's protected sprinter today.
Jakkals. Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Garmin-Sharp has also placed two riders on the front to help the chase. Tyler Farrar is the US team's protected sprinter today. I wouldnt put my hopes on him, as an outsider maybe, but not a favorite for me.
