8 secs for Terpstra

 

It's Trek who lead the chase though. Lotto have a couple of riders in the peloton still but they've had a quiet, some would add smart race, so far.

I'm sure Terpstra was hoping to draw out a few breakaway artists so far out

So much for the new rules

[tombeej]

Don't think he will survive, Trek chasing hard

 

Ja that's what I meant, just a team tactic to force the hand of other teams, not intended to be a winning move.

Again....

27 to go

Belkin have numbers, Lotto have numbers as go Katusha. Gatto has a couple of teammates too but the chase have let the gap go out to 33 seconds.

Hells bells

Boonen almost faking cramps as he slows things down

 

:-D

[jcza]

20km and Terpstra has 34 secs

[Eugene Oppelt]

Hayman is moving up to the front to see what the problem is and why the chase has slowed. The Australian wastes no time and hits the front. the gap is now 36 seconds with 20km to go.

Not much organisation in the chase, riders all over the road

And Devolder has had enough. He's attacked. It almost looked like he was moving in slow motion but somehow he's clear. And he as a Tinkoff rider with him. Boonen will try and shut this one down.

Is Terpstra out of sight or can they see him?

4 off the front between peloton and Terpstra
