Museeuw's done it before from that distance. Tom @ 14secs in front of peloton. 'king maker' cobbled sections on the horizon.

Tom is p*ssed! Not much help coming from the group of 12 at the front. Hits the next cobbles and TB takes takes to the front at pace to punish the others.

A Cofidis rider also ends up in the ditch. This is Paris-Roubaix.

Fabian Cancellara and Bradley Wiggins are both in the peloton despite crashes and punctures.

Matthieu Ladagnous (FDJ.fr) is also in the front group. They are now the front group after catching the trio up front.

There are five BMC leading the chase behind.

Is Boonen sacrificing his chances for a teammate or trying to take control of the race?

Maybe Terpstra?

After 200k of racing, the Boonen attack has 22 seconds but the Belgian does not seem convinced it is the right strategy.
