Gerald Ciolek got third. A good result for Columbia!

16:58 CEST   

Philippe Gilbert is coming in in a second group, probably the victim of that crash.

16:57 CEST   

But Hushovd came up on the final 200 metres, and overtook Cancellara! The Norwegian takes the win, in front of Kim Kirchen!

16:56 CEST   

Third is Schumacher. Cancellara has Pippo on his wheel...

16:56 CEST   

There was acrash further behind, while TT World Champ Cancellara powers to the finish. Pozzato is right behind him.

16:55 CEST   

Chavanel is going to be swallowed. cancellara attacks!

15:26 CEST   

Voeckler looks to come around Chavanel at the KOM points but doesn't. Rather odd - we thought he would try and get as many mountain points as possible, and that Chavanel would let him.

Sorry to have to inform you that it's drizzling again. Riders are getting their rain jackets out of their back pockets.

15:22 CEST   

Chavanel and Voeckler hit the Mur de Bretagne. The narrow road is packed with fans, flags and PMU hands. Chavanel leads up. It's quite steep as the name suggests. No cobbles, though!

15:18 CEST   

The race is coming up to the Mur de Bretagne (Cat. 3). The scenario is unchanged: Caisse d'Epargne controls the pace as the bunch is slowly but steadily reeling in the two breakaways, Chavanel and Voeckler.

They've arrived at the feed zone. An Agritubel rider crashed! It's Nicolas Jalabert. He was riding just behind a CSC rider, who grabbed his food bag, had to swerve and touched Jalabert's front wheel, which made the Frenchman come down. Sh*t happens... The brother of Nicolas is back on his bike though, he doesn't seem injured.
