Flecha buries himself in behind with Boonen sitting on his wheel trying to get across!!!
2km
Cancellara continues to work hard alongside Nuyens. Chavanel's content to sit on the back, quite correctly, as Boonen is just behind.
3km
Cancellara's group have all sat up now, and the rest have a chance to come abck to them. Cancellara puts the power down again though. He knows he wno't prevail in a big sprint against the likes of Gilbert and Boonen.
4km
Langeveld attacks, and Flecha responds, before Ballan charges off up the road after him. Langeveld is caught, and Cancellara puts the hammer down with 4km to go! Chavanel is right on his wheel though.
5km
Three times here have two riders - Sky, Quickstep and BMC. Can they use that to their advantage?
6km
So, who's going to win it? Post your thoughts below! Personally, I think Boonen has the speed and experience to do it.
7km
So, is Tom Boonen with his talent as a sprinter the favourite? Ballan launches a big attack and puts in a big dig, Gilbert responds, as does Langeveld now.
8km
Gilbert is now caught, though manages to latch on to the back of the group. meanwhile, there's a second group coming across including, Flecha, Thomas, Nuyens, Hincapie, Boonen, Langeveld, Scheirlinkx.
9km
Staf Scheilinckx is the Veranda's Willems rider in the chasing group alongside Chavanel, Cancellara, Leukemans and Ballan. They are 7 seconds behind Gilbert.
10km
14 seconds is Gilbert's lead now. Cancellara is fighting to make back ground. Chavanel and Leukemans are just behind Ballan, and Cancellara has made back the lost ground!
11km
Will Gilbert pay for that big effort now? He has Ballan chasing hard. I can't see Boonen at the moment.
12km
Cancellara is gone!!!! He's spent!!! Leukemans and Ballan have left him, as has Boonen!!

Thomas hits the front of the chasing group now working for Juan Antonio Flecha. This is super riding from Thomas. They hit the Bosberg nw as Gilbert pushes as hard as he can!! Leukemans is on his wheel, but slipping, Cancellara is suffering, and Gilbert is beginning to move clear!!!
13km
Geraint Thomas and George Hincapie are fighting to get onto the back of the Pozzato group.
14km
One more hill to go - the Bosberg! Cancellara has one last chance to get rid of Boonen, as he certainly won't want to take the big Belgian all the way to the line! This is absolutely thrilling stuff!
