'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share It's a long flat stretch of road so the chase can see the riders up ahead. That will help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share More signs of a cross wind so there's a chance that the chase group might split once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share Everyone in the lead group is working, both Boonen and Belkin fast man Hofland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share There's a slight headwind at the moment so that's going to be factor even though both groups are going to face the same conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share The work rate at the front is exceptional though, while in the chase there are couple of riders skipping turns. Eisel is on the front, he grits his teeth and then moves over to allow a Lotto rider to set the pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share The Topsport car, or rather the driver in it, hands some food for Vanmarcke, who used to ride for them of course. There's a two-circuit loop now before the finish as Paolini takes yet another turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share There are a few rocking shoulders in the chase group, Knees can't have much left in the tank by the manner in which is swung off after his last turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 2, 2014 Share Paolini has gone too fast and he's split the chase. Knees starts shouting and now the chase needs to organise itself again. That's going to cost a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
