The Irish duo received a further fillip when they moved up one place to 23rd and 24th respectively, on the overall General classification, with Martin now 24 seconds behind race-leader Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Nissan) and Roche a further second back.

Roche was 52nd on the 207 kilometre pan-flat trek from Visé to Tournai in Belgium while Martin came home in 145th place, sensibly deciding not to contest a hectic sprint.
