Interesting, I didn't know that rule. Makes perfect sense though.

E3 has just come to life - Roelandts attack on the Taaienberg blew the race apart. Now a very select group chasing down the early break - Boonen, Terpstra, Stybar, Benoot, Roelandts, Vanmarcke, Boom...
Cancellara was in there but his bike just broke down. Unlucky.
Sky leading the charge in the next group back.
Cracking racing.

Two groups become one. Fab has made it back - yay!
Six Etixx riders in the pack too - theirs to lose now.

He lost a lot of time, but I have a suspicion that he might take this.

Wonder what odds you'd get right now on Sagan finishing second.

About 6 km to go, the front pair 27 seconds in front. A break will have to come from the chasing group before too long, otherwise it's Sagan's.

And Stannard in 3rd! A good day for Sky and, one has to say, a complete failure for EQS, who had four potential winners in the lead group, but missed the moves later in the race. I think Sagan was just knackered - the tiredness was probably responsible both for his lack of attention and the inability to follow at the end.

Utter twonk that he is - I had him to win at 6/1. I may never bet on him ever again.

It would appear I picked every rider from SKY apart from the bloody winner

That had a bit of everything. Great to watch. Bummer for Spartacus. Sagan had his arse handed to him in the finishing straight.
