Phil & Paul on OLN thought it was Leif Hoste. VeloNews & CyclingNews coverage said it was Christophe Mengin.

I was a little disappointed with the OLN coverage. In trimming down the coverage to 60 minutes of highlights, it was left pretty much to the imagination what had happened and what they had cut out between the segments they aired. For those of us watching George, they said nothing about how or when he, Boonen, et.al got dropped. Go away to a 5 minute commercial break, come back and Johan is leading. Which group is it this time?!? Some coverage is better than none, and I enjoy the video feed, but jeez... thank goodness for the live, online coverage.
