E3 Prijs Vlaanderen... LIVE!

One thing I truly love about Cycling is how the season starts at the low ebb and just keeps building. Yeah, there are a few crests (de Ronde, anyone?), with some lulls in between, but so far this season has just been slowly getting more and more interesting. Save for Milano Sanremo, an island of greatness in a sea of preseason intrigue, the E3 Prijs is shaping up to be the toughest battle of the season so far, with an elite peloton on hand for the fight. No race is guaranteed to deliver, but this really should be an excellent event.
Cycling.TV comes on at 6:30am Pacific, and I would guess the cameras click on sometime shortly after. See you then.

Looking for a live ticker to tide us over until video starts...
One of the sweetest things today was seeing Tom Boonen go past me backwards on the climbs. .--Mark Cavendish, MSR

Found one
here (in Flemish, which Google Translate spells D-U-T-C-H).
Current situation: Steve Chainel (BBox), David Boucher (Landbouwkrediet) Lieuwe Westra (Vacansoleil) and Jean Zen (Palmans) have 4 minutes on the peloton. Vytautas Kaupas (Revor-Jartazi) is halfway between the leading group and in the pack.
Oh, and while the start was sunny, it has started to rain.

If I were Jimbo, I’d say “Crocs!” (and then everyone would point and laugh, as they ought to). But to answer the question, it’s a pair of Børn’s, this morning. Style and comfort, without looking like you’ve slayed a Yeti and wrapped it around your feet.
(And that must be the last post on the matter, otherwise I’ll have to deal with repercussions here. So many bullies on this site.)

What do you need two live tickers for when you've got us?

About 63k to go, three riders in the breakaway, who have a 5:34 gap. They caught McEwan, I think.

Methinks we’re gonna see a smaller group when this is over. Cervelo wore it out a bit the last 10 minutes, this climb should finish off a few of the guys in the back.
