    GVA needs a bike change after a small accident.

    Boonen trying to push on the peloton

    I don't think it's game over for GVA, but that's twice now that he's had to make his way back to the front of the peloton after two incidents.

    And that's why it's Game Over

    Perhaps not, depends on the efforts he made to get back on, which I don't think were that great.

    So easy to root for Sagan the way he rides, as with Boonen also of course. Both ride to hopefully win like a champion. And Greipel doing his usual gutsy all-in effort also.

    Did Sagan get a new wheel?

    He certainly had a mechanical of some kind that quenched his attack.

    Lots of riders in the mix as of now.

    Very hard to pick who will win this...
    So many big guns still in contention... Sagan, Boonen, GVA, Degenkolb, Greipel, Stybar, Trentin, Kristoff.

    I think he's a neutral service wheel as the mavic motorbike was close to sagan as he start fish-tailing on the cobble section.

    I could be wrong but that's how it looked

    Mechanical for Sagan. That's him surely gone.

    Do you like being bossed around by a lady in various states of undress? Nearly as tasty as the 'cooking wevolution' of Bora....

    Meanwhile, back at the cycling....

    Oss is doing a super ride

    GVA will have to attack soon, he can't risk Boonen/Sagan group catching them.

    Me initially, but shortly after I stated perhaps not due to his chasing back on not being so demanding. Still he may pay for such yet.

    There doesn't seem to be any impetus from the Sagan/Boonen group to catch the lead group. They look like they are out for a nice Sunday spin!!

    True. All depends on how hard he rode to get back each time and how fatigued he is relative to everybody else right now.

    Stybar will turn on the afterburners when they get to Carrefour de l'Arbre I reckon

    Still enough to time / road to bridge that gap..interesting finish ahead. Sprint in the velodrome?
