That's one big breakway. It will be hard to catch it. |

If Pauwels does the right thing as a teammate he might be able to control the group for a Meersman sprint win. Not many others there would be looking for a sprint though so it should be a hard job. Should make for an exciting final 20km.

I've seen both names, but according to Belgian commentators (broadcasting started 5 mins ago) it's Jelle Vanendert.
By the way, Pauwels is not in the front group. Belgian commentators had a phone call with OPQS and they confirmed that Pauwels is not in the breakaway. |

Scarponi making Meersman drop. Well, we'll see what's going to happen now.
EDIT: Only fuck Katusha.

Is the Rat Patat (whatever) comparable to the climb in the WC? |

Awesome. Was hoping that his drop from the break was strategic to conserve energy.
I have 2 PCM$ bet on him
Edit: Rat Patat good one

Break will win this. Done well to hold off the peleton for long enough. Betting on either Santaromita or Nocentini for the win. |
