Just waiting for last place and I'll have the scores done, Womens RVV has been scored
Scores are going in now. Kroon came home last, one place before
so he only got 10 for the break and not the 20 I was hoping for
James Vanlandschoot
Unlucky Tom, 2nd by 2 points
1 stenmeister stenmeister 200
2 Meagre Farmer Otto Tom Amos 198
3 Velodrone Velodrone 195
1,2,3,5,6,7,8. Will that be enough to put me in the top ten?
Don't think that it was that big a deal, but I have 1-2-3 in 5 teams in todays Fantasy teams and it feels good!
Well that's a nice score for me in std, with 164
1,3,7,9,16+devolder bonus
1,3,6,7,8,16 (sagan is 16) +5pts for Devolder - 136
1,2,3,5,15,18 + a break + 5pts in std
1,3,6,14,16,18 +5pts in purist
Top 18

Podium for purist
1.3.6.7 for standard plus 2 in the break
Great finish! 1,2,3,6,10 for me - same as the women's race! Had £2 on GVA at 40/1 which added to the excitement, couldn't quite get there tho' - always the bridesmaid...
Well that went well
1,2,3,4,7 and a +5
I was wrong, the next group have caught up - two climbs to go!
Lead group of 13 seem to have quite a gap now...

I was looking at the cyclingnews live coverage and it shows 2 groups up the road. Do both count for the breakaway points, assuming both groups were up the road at the halfway point?
The lady has life-threatening injuries so I've just read. Hope she is ok.
Popovych down hard and out
and himself, his shoes are off, also look at his front wheel
Mine was meant as a bit tongue in cheek but on enlarging the pic my humour may have been a bit crass ..... Is there any word on them as the spectator looks out cold
She also looks like she's no stranger to frites!!
Three in the break.....without clock stimulation

It was Palini in the break Ray, not Paolini - still 2 is pretty good!
Here is the list out DNF so far that I can work out.
Durbridge, Van Summeren, Elmiger, Bennett, Appollonio, Roelandts and Dowsett
Someone captured Van Summeren crash, apparently both rider and spectator are in hospital but are severely injured.

That's a big impact.....he knocked her clean out of her shoes!
He's not in the break, but he was still a minute ahead of the peleton when half way mark was reached.
Also, I think it was Raymond that has dropped back
Wes Kreder is no longer in the break - made it to halfway by the skin of his teeth!
Ok, the break has reached halfway, with 10 riders.
