    They will be brought back. Last 20km is flat and fast. Lots of sprinters racing.
    In the GC they are:
    Jens Voigt (RadioShack) +20:39, Robert Vrecer (Euskaltel-Euskadi) +27:42, Olivier Kaisen (Lotto) +34:49

    Original three still in the break at the 80km to go (1/2 way) mark, holding the gap to 3'40".

    Whilst Sagan is seen as the favourite, there are other sprinters in with a shout such as Degenkolb, Farrar, Goss & Renshaw. Demare and Kristoff have to be in with a chance too, so I can't see the break surviving today.

    Cheers Turfle / Crankbrother, unfortunately my employer's routers are clever enough to detect video streaming and forbid access to them so I'll have to rely on you guys

    You're the up-to-date version of CEEFAX !

    Sounds like not even another argument about Sky could make this stage interesting.

    Not far off the short Cat 2 climb - some minor excitement maybe in seeing which of the sprinters get dropped and whether they get back on the descent. Ok maybe I'm grasping at straws.

    Only the scenery makes me (sorta) keep watching ... Got a friend who lives there and brings back memories of visits ... Shame they've never used the Klausenpass since 2008 as that's the only ride I've done when I've been over (quite literally the Altdorf-Klausenpass TT then back down again) ...

    Oh to be descending those roads

    No cars - bliss !

    The surface isn't perfect but compared to living in Surrey, where we don't appear to have any tarmac these days it's just fine

    Haven't got audio so can't comment



    2 leaders working well together but have they got enough ?

    Plenty of chat from Jens

    Peleton much more strung out now; Cannondale & OPQS doing the work

    gap dropping like the Northern Rock share price in 2008

    1:19 now, 18km to go

    Break looks doomed

    Typical JV, giving it everything. A fair few roundabouts and cars the only things impeding the inevtiable progress of the bunch.

    8km and 32 seconds now

    Surely they can't hang on

    In the unlikely event they stay away - who'd win a sprint ? I don't know much about Vrecer
