    No transfers for me today. Hoping the more obvious sprinters join in today!? 😕
    102 points just isn’t good enough 🙁

    Hofland on fire at the moment, takes it from Degenkolb and Bouhanni. Multiple crashes make it difficult to tell what the GC standings will be, could be a while before they sort it all out. Meersman got paced back to the peloton by his team car, I think.

    Possibly…
    4 Kristoff
    5 Hushovd
    6 Coquard
    7 Fonseca
    8 Gallopin (who I dropped)

    I judged that it was essential to get Meersman into my team today, and used up some transfers that I really wanted to save to do so…… Well that’s the way it goes sometimes, feeling pretty unhappy about the whole thing and then Hofland comes through to give me a 1-2-3 any way, so stop moaning you old soak!

    Ups and downs Eh!

    A crash in the peloton brings down Gianni Meersman (Omega Pharma-QuickStep), who has surely lost all chances of a stage win and the yellow jersey. Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky), Lars Boom (Belkin) and Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) are also among those caught up in the crash.

    With the gap down to 1:35, Saramotins could wait no longer. The Latvian climbs out of the saddle and drops Delaplace. He will now try to fend off the peloton alone.

    Delaplace and Saramotins have 3 mins after 12km, if thats the break then it will be interesting to see if any GC guys chase the 1-sec bonuses in the intermediate sprints…
    EDIT the second sprint is right near the end so the break may well have been caught by then…
