Tired with the pace of the break away, and the number of passengers, Daniek Hengeveld (DSM) decided to head off on her own. She used Sector 15, the stretch of cobbles from Tilley to Sars et Rosieres to open up a gap on those behind. She grew her advantage up to a half of a minute before her former companions got their chase organized. With another 71 kilometers to Roubaix, it was a bit of a tall order to race the rest of the cobbles off the front on her own.
