Less than 10 miles to go. The trio with over 2 minutes lead still.0 -

Men's RR Champs: Sky trio still leading, with chasing three 2-40 behind. But some big groups are getting organised behind. Chase anyone?

No, they are on the last lap (still Wiggins, Kennaugh and Thomas out front with 2 mins 40 advantage)"I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -

Reported last lap begun 10 mins ago - 13 miles.
I think this is between who sky want to have the jersey, expect they want it in the tour which would count kennaugh out.
EDIT: Gap has now gone out to 3:300 -

Yeah best way to get upto date info bizarrely is through twitter:

Lots of good racing today.
So pleased for Gilbert - will be amazing to see him riding and winning in that lovely jersey. Chose the right avatar.
Sylvain - 30km solo...class. Deserving winner. What a rider.
Contador taking it to them and would have taken the win if he didnt have a wheelsucker all over him and been lacking in the sprint. Would have so loved to see him racing and winning in that jersey, putting it on show.
Back to Britain...seems very odd when it is basically an entire PT team taking on 2nd levels. Not much of a race tbh. Really hoping Wiggins takes it though.
Shame for Dan Martin...much better rider.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Wiggins seems to have gone solo. 17seconds.0
-
Wiggine on the attack now...0

Good stuff, might be hard to pull back as i've heard he's a fairly reasonable TTer..."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -
Come on WIGGINS, drop those fellas. TT yourself to a great jersey so you can stand out in the Tour.Contador is the Greatest0

Gilbert made the 18man selection then dropped them in the finale. Boonen 6th.Contador is the Greatest0

Just caught up with the French race. Fascinating chases throughout. Consistently produces the best race of the week.
I like that Boulogne finish. A pity the seem to have had to remove it from Dunkerque.
Chapeau Sylvain, Tony and Tommy V."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

I have seen this comment elsewhere but it's BS really. UK only has one pro tour team, even though rapha and Endura etc have decent riders in them. It happened in the Swiss champs as well with it ending up Canc vs BMC, but there you go a stronger pro tour level rider won.
So all this talk of "it's not fair team sky dominate" is a bit of a red herring. It happens in other countries where they have few pro tour teams and few domestic riders who ride in pro tour level and no one says a word. It simply comes down to the fact GB have one pro level team and they happen to have bought up some of the top GB talent to be a part of it.
EDITED - Mistaken - sorry0 -
25 second gap now0

Plus I don't think on a course like this Dan Martin is in fact a stronger rider, it would even be questionable on any course that he is more deserving than any of the other talent there. Bit flippant that.
I think you're confused. Dan Martin lost the Irish Road race by the width of a tyre. Nothing to do with the GB race currently going on.0 -
whoops :oops:
Yep well must edit that and say Sorry0 -

You are right about some other Nat RRs which have a similar situation, although I cant think of one where it is literally an entire team against everyone, more a bunch of PT against everyone.
Re Martin. Just really like him as a rider by miles and would have been happier if he won.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Wiggo wins it
