Good win from Boasson Hagen. He wasn't up against very tough competition, but his sprint was nevertheless very nice, and good to see him position himself well on the final kilometers aswell.
Looking forward to tomorrow's time trial, will be interesting to see how Wiggins, Evans, Van Den Broeck and other overall favourites/outsiders for Tour de France will do. |

Good that he takes a win, he's a very complete rider, one of the most complete in the peloton, I like that.
Tomorrow will shake up GC, that'll be very interesting! |

Murilo Fischer in 5th, great result for him
Evans seems to be really racing this, wouldn't be surprised if the Top 2 of this year is the same of last year's Dauphine.

After Eddy's race I think he should overtake Wiggins as Sky Leader.

It is hard to tell who is being sarcastic anymore. Nationalistic Norwegians really are just that ridiculous.
I'm still reserving judgement on EBH. He is a huge talent but I keep getting a feeling that he will never quite find exactly what he is the best at.

Easy rule: Norwegians+Alakagom not sarcastic and the rest is

It's hard to tell whether Alakagom is sarcastic or not when he has an average of 54087540750584 smilies per post.

After his win at G-W, i was convinced that EBH would have been a classics rider
now he's adapted himself to be more of a sprinter (which is something he doesn't excel at)
i can actually see him now as somewhat of a VanSummeren rider, with a bit more kick in the sprint (and with a better TT) |

Whoa... hold this, The only thing I said about EBH victory was 'Get in EBH' and his decent positioning
I do agree with Count, but I am really hopeful EBH's new coaches : Bobby Julich and Rod Ellingworth will actually make the best out of him.

Andy Schleck has fallen in the ITT. He lost already a minut with the fall alone and passed the 1st check 2 minutes behind.
According to Kerckhoffs from De Telegraaf the wind makes the ITT dangerous. I think full wheels are going to be a problem. |

He was over 2 minutes down, after 18 km, before he fell. Riders with similar times after 18 km finished around 7 minutes behind Durbridge. |
