I'm bored of Giant winning now... They are too good :/ Great ride from Pinot though

Degenkolb was on fire there. Still a nice 6th by Demare. |

*Ian B. -i really hope that happens.. 
The first breakaway isn´t that big but has enought quality..
 M.Ladagnous,  S.Vanmarcke(BEL) and
S.Vandenbergh(OPQ), all cobble specialists, are nearing Livorno(1st Int.Sprint) with 2´03" gap to the peloton..
Within the 1st kom sprint, Ladagnous and Vanmarcke delivered a nice fight for the pts with our man going 1st.. 4´45" gap but already droping..
2nd kom sprint, S.Vanmarcke leaves the rest behind.. Ladagnous still fights to catch up with him.. 45kms to go..
Couple kms later, "Los 3 amigos",  D.Cunego(LAM),
D.Rebellin(CCC) and M.Rabottini(YEL) try to escape from the pack..
26kms to go, M.Monfort(LTB),  F.Cancellara(TFR), I.Basso(CAN) and
 D.Moreno(KAT) attack too.. they catch up with the italian trio.. Ladagnous is 58" ahead and Vanmarcke 2´01"..
11kms... we try to bridge with the front with K.Elissonde, protected by  J.Veikkanen..
S.Vanmarcke leaves the 5kms mark behind.. Monfort follows with Cancellara on his tail..
Last km..
S.Vanmarcke wins after an amazing solo ride..

Vanmarcke, wow. But FDJ guys did well too. Looks like FDJ is ready to dance on two weddings.

Thanks all for your comments..
Amazing solo ride by Vanmarcke, the belgian and Ladagnous are very similar in attributes, i did try to ride along with Sep but had no chance... i really don´t know how they can ride like this.. 
Ladagnous is peacking for the classics too so i hope he will deliver some good results there...
*Ste117 - thanks for catching up with FDJ.. great to see you here again..
Like Ian said about Bouhanni, we too put our money on stage 7 in TA..

 R.Curvers(GIA),  P.Niemiec(LAM) and
T.Marczynski(CCC) pass by the 1st Int.Sprint with a decreasing gap of 5´48"..
1km to the 1st Kom sprint, we try to catch up with the front with
Y.Offredo and M.Ladagnous..
With Offredo making the pace, we catch Curvers first..
Then we catch Marczynski...
With Offredo´s pace, we even catch the race directors car..
68kms to go, we finally catch Niemiec.. 4´50"gap to the pack..
40kms.. our gap was decreasing slowly but still was a safe one until M.Rabottini(YEL) decided to attack and thus making the pack increase their pace... at this point, it was only 1´43"..
This made that the break was caught with 27kms to go..
We quickly reach the final kms with P.Gilbert(BMC) leading the race...
With Gilbert and M.Albasini(OGE) getting away, the peloton entered in panic mode..  A.Kristoff(KAT) was the 1st to panic, he starts the sprint still far away from the finish line.. N.Bouhanni decides to follow him..
Because of this mad pace, Bouhanni was loosing some energy quiet fast, the battle for the stage win starts now at the front..
While behind some riders just want to get over it..
F.Pozzato wins... Bouhanni manages to finish 5th..
