With the leaders on the road just over a minute up the road, it was time for the opportunist to jump free of the peloton. This trio lead off by Kenneth Van Bilsen (Cofidis) managed to open a small gap. Behind another foursome was hoping they could bridge across to Van Bilsen, Floris Gerts (BMC) who is tucked in behind the Cofidis rider and the man from Veranda's Willems. Sorry I was unable to discover who he was, they got reeled back in before I could catch sight of his bib number.
