    They've woken up at last. Europcar drilling it... Gadret hanging on the back for grim death.

    Pace really picked up now. Good to see from a spectators perspective.

    Don't know that the riders will be enjoying it (especially Gadret at the moment)

    Standard 1st stage crash takes out everyone behind the first 50.

    Hit a spectator and came down. Looks like the spectators fault.

    Looked like he took out an Astana rider rather than Comty

    Another crash!
