Thanks for that. Since my Flemish is non-existent, I have the sound on only for atmosphere, and have another window open showing the CyclingNews.com live text commentary in English.

Another win for Boonen who is going through a purple patch but another disappointment for Cav!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These classics/semi-classics don't really suit Cav. I'm not sure if he should worry too much about them at this stage and it does appear, superficially at least, that Sky aren't in the same league or level of commitment to him, as Quickstep are to Boonen say. Good training but don't wory too much about the result.

From the Team Sky website:

Despite the gutsy efforts of Ian Stannard and Mathew Hayman to pull things back, after the finish Cavendish explained how bad luck had seen the bunch fracture just over 30 kilometres from home.

He said: “We got isolated before the Monteberg. It’s the usual thing, you just have to be behind the one wheel that loses the wheel. We turned left off the Kemmelberg and it was one line, the rider in front lost the wheel. It wasn’t that hard but by the time you look up you’ve lost 30 metres and you can’t really get across.

“Normally if you are top-25 over the Kemmelberg you are usually alright and I was top-25 so I thought I was laughing. Next time I’ll have to be in the top-10.”

Sports Director Steven de Jongh added: “Unfortunately it didn’t quite turn out as planned but I think the boys rode a good race. As a team they rode really well - they were all there over the ‘Kemmel’ and you don’t expect to be caught out on the descent when you are that high up in the pack.

It was one of his early season targets though...
