    Is this the most boring parcours in the history of cycling?

    There is no atmosphere, very few people, 2.30 gap for the 2 leaders, only 100km to go!

    Looks set for a Manx gold.

    They might well just call Cav the winner now and get out of the heat.

    Watching the highlights of the womens race, pretty dull but Pooley is impressive as ever even when working for somebody else.

    I assume that it's because it's about the only time he ever gets to compete for the Isle Of Man.

    Looking at the start list for Paris-Tours he's given up a real chance to get a good one day win for it though, but he'd probably argue he's got plenty of years left to win it.

    Because it's the only chance he gets to represent the Isle of Man (unless you count the Island Games, which has done in the past)

    Cav's in the break, they will all try and attack him now.

    Millar in the break as well and is trying to bridge to the leaders.

    Also because he's on his way back from Oz, the timing/location works fairly well for him.

    It is actually, nice to see Cav having to ride a very different race to how we normally see him.

    Now getting very interesting!

    Millar in there, Cav, Rowe, Aussies and Kiwi's all over it.

    I wonder if Cav has any allies, he is a prickly charecter most of the time.

    Rowe looks knackered

    I think on Freeview you can only have one red button option, could be they've decided to show boxing on that. I've got it on the red button, but through Virgin.

    It's the winning move from Jack Bauer I think,
