Text updates while we wait, looks like live streaming will start at 15:00

 

  1. 13:30:38 CET
  2. There was plenty of action at the start today, including Peter Sagan being awarded his weight in beer (let's hope he's saved it for later). Check out our start line gallery here.
  3. 13:25:28 CET

    Cobbled races are almost always a bit of a bunfight as the riders try to get into prime position on the cobbles. Let's hope that crash was the worst we'll see today.

  4. 13:22:44 CET

    Some good news in that Cancellara, Degenkolb and Boom are all back the peloton after that crash.

  5. 13:20:33 CET

    Following that crash, Trek report that Cancellara is back on his bike but in pain. Bonifazio, Langeveld and Wagner didn't continue though and are on their way to hospital.

  6. 172km remaining from 218km 13:18:32 CET

    The gaps to the six leaders grows ever so slightly to 3:38

    1. 13:13:55 CET
  1. LottoNL-Jumbo and Sky now leading the bunch following that crash. While Turgot and Sbaragli are distanced from the break.
    1. 13:11:48 CET
  1. It's the second crash in a week for Boom, who came down on a corner during Wednesday's Dwars door Vlaanderen. Fortunately for the Dutchman, he avoided any serious injury.
  2. 13:08:09 CET

    Boom, Langeveld and Degenkolb also involved in the crash with Cancellara. No news on the condition of the riders, we'll let you know as soon as we find out.

    1. 13:06:56 CET
  1. A crash for Cancellara
    1. 13:05:37 CET
  1. Ian Stannard will be riding in a supporting role today, for Geraint Thomas. Stannard, who is focussing on Paris-Roubaix, thinks that Team Sky are on the brink of their first monument victory.
    1. 12:57:45 CET
  1. Dries Devenyns is the most experienced on the cobbles of the six escapees. The Belgian was part of the QuickStep team for some time. He moved to Giant-Shimano last season, working as a road captain for John Degenkolb, before switching to IAM Cycling for this season.
    1. 12:50:29 CET
  1. Fabian Cancellara is another of the former winners racing today. He's won the race three times in the past and will be looking to get back onto the top step this Friday. It's a format that has delivered him to success in the past.
  2. 191km remaining from 218km 12:44:03 CET

    After 27 kilometres, the gap has gone up to three minutes for the six escapees.

  3. 12:40:26 CET

    The six escapees have some two minutes on the peloton as they pass through Melden.

Sorry to see young Bonifazio pull out from that crash.

 

This whole week I've been wanting to do a write-up of this 21 year old from Lampre who came 5th at Milan - San Remo, but never found the time.

 

It should have been huge news. An incredible result from one so young. While everyone focused on the big names he was virtually ignored.

 

Heal up young man. I'll keep a look out for you the Lampre team roster again.
