Now we talking business. he loves to go from far out.

 

Who'll match him?

A couple more riders have tried to bridge over to the Belgian but it should all come back together.

['Dale]

 

Boonen has been joined by a much large group, including Valverde.

Maes is starting to work a bit more in what's left of the lead group. Millar has been dropped but Sutton might still be in there at the back.

['Dale]

The main peloton had split in half on the last climb but they're slowly coming back together as well.

['Dale]

Not one team has taken control of the race but the call has come for Maes to really put the hammer down for Omega.

['Dale]

Just five more climbs to go with the Kwaremont next. Meanwhile there's a dangerous move with Hayman up the road. Groups are all over the place at the moment.

['Dale]

Wow!!

The entire race though is only spread by 35 seconds with 45km to go.

['Dale]

8 riders have stayed out in front from the original break. They have 32 seconds over the peloton with a few riders still caught in between.

Watch out for Stannard!

He looks potent this season.

FOund one

 

41km to go and leaders have 21 seconds

['Dale]

 

As AG2r launch a rider off the front of the bunch, it's Damien Gaudin.

 

['Dale]

The Frenchman isn't going anywhere though and the peloton are quickly on him.

Not surprising to see Tommeke attacking on the Taaienberg, considering that it's also known to the locals as the Boonenberg (due to his exploits on that climb in past years).

['Dale]

Just 21 seconds for the leaders. It's really not looking good for their chances with the next climb within sight. Expect major attacks from the peloton.
