I thought it was more of a Tour de Kent, than London!

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

ok, Le Tour de L'europe then?

 

Anyway, I went to the start and finish yesterday, what a great fkn spectacle.... and what a ride from Robbie the rocket!

 

With just under an hour to go he has to dismount and loses around 60 places, then storms through at the last to take it on the line.

 

Today should be fun as it's pretty much on the flat!

We're underway in stage two!! There are 188 riders left in the race. The only rider to crash out yesterday was Eduardo Gonzalo Ramirez of the Agritubel team. He suffered a collarbone injury after going into the back windscreen of the Caisse d'Epargne team car early on in yesterday's stage

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

Discovery Channel's Leif Hoste had a puncture just before the start of the stage, though is now safely back in the peloton.

 

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

An overcast start to the start of the stage today. Some rain fell earlier, but the roads have dried now. Temperatures are not expected to rise any higher than an agreeable 15 degrees. Nothing like the heat of yesterday in Kent.

 

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

150km - No attacks so far today. The peloton is still together.

 

 

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

150km - Ag2r's Jose Luis Arrieta is the next man to suffer a puncture.

 

 

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

No sooner have we entered Belgium, than the first attack of the day has come! Ruben Perez (Euskaltel), Cedric Herve (Agritubel) and Marcel Sieberg (Milram) have broken away and opened up a 20 second lead on the peloton. It was Sieberg who made the move.

 

[NotTheRealSteveWest]

147km - Sieberg, Perez and Herve are now 45 seconds clear of the pack. Their lead is increasing.
