    Correction - they are only losing a minute a lap at the current rate. That will give them a HUGE buffer if the pack don't speed up soon.

    And the pack will speed up, plus the escapees will tire.

    6 laps to go and almost 14 minutes lead still.

    HAHAHAHA - I just saw my team mechanic at the side of the road handing out bottles. Cool.

    Well, if anything's going to bring them back, the intent the Italians are showing will.

    The idea of Griepel winning if Cav doesn't even make the selection is pretty funny.

    Can you imagine if Griepel manages to win this? An entire year of rubbing it in Cav's face.

    Don't forget Friere's not there and this kind of course suits him. His team is doing overtime to close the gap between the two packs.

    Oh, thankfully there are some top riders in those first 31. Nibs, Evans, Pozzato, Martin, Visconti, Griepel were the names I caught.

    You can't listen to Hugh Porter. He's clueless. Designated team leader - yes. Sprinter, no.

    It's just surreal, the man is paid for this! I don't claim to know all on cycling, or that commentating is easy, but you've got to know those details!

    The fact Sanchez isn't there just makes it even better.
