Video: Mixed emotions for Thomas after Dwars door Vlaanderen

Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) was left frustrated after taking second place behind Nick Nuyens (Saxo Bank SunGard) in Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday. The 24-year-old had bridged up the Saxo Bank rider in between the Varenstraat and Vossenhol with 20 kilometres to go and together with the remnants of an early break, held the peloton at bay.
