Michael Morkov, Mads Mads Würtz Schmidt (Katusha-Alpecin), Maxime Daniel (Fortuneo-Vital Concept), Hugo Hofstetter (Cofidis) and Benjamin Giraud (Delko Marseille Provence KTM) have opened a lead of 20 seconds over the peloton

Only four teams are represented in this break, and there's no shortage of willingness to try to shut it down. The lead hovers at around 15 seconds.

Luke Durbridge was among the riders caught up in the first crash of the day, and the Australian is chasing alone to latch back up to the bunch ahead of the fourth sector of cobbles from Viesly to Biastre.

Boonen and Sagan are among the contenders well-positioned near the front.
