    Courtesy of the official site and google translate:

    After two falls Giovanni Visconti (ITA / MOV) was forced to surrender. The rider from the team of last year's TdS winner Rui Costa (POR) was transferred to more precise clarification of his injuries in the hospital swimming.

    There's a live ticker (in German) here:

    There are also images of the race that refresh every 30 seconds. I've had worse video streams.

    The Lux feed from yesterday will work fine ... should be up by 1610 (uk time) ... http://sport.rtl.lu/cyclissem/iwwersiicht/

    So same as yesterday ... the Lux feed has a better picture and you don't need to navigate the pop-ups to get a picture ...

    Live in HD here in Denmark. Luxury. This probably isn't the time to mention that I'm not really following this race though...

    Gap back up to around 2'20" now.

    Gap now 2'38" to the main group and 45km to go. Similar to yesterday in terms of the stage favourites. The run in to the finish looks a little more straightforward for the sprinters - no sharp bends in the final km to contend with this time.

    Who are the two riders who they keep cutting to at the back?

    Sprinters teams show a bit of urgency and suddenly the gap is down to 1'40" with 40km to go. Saxo's Michale Morkov has gone off the front of the peleton but it is a long way to the front group for a single rider to bridge.

    Scarponi down again.

    He's up and chasing back on.

    Crash in the peleton and Scarponi is down again with De Haes (Lotto) and Vacansoleil's Feillu. Hope all can rejoin.

    Riders just starting the final circuit which has the 2 x 4 cat climbs. If the front group are caught early on there could be an opportunity for some audacious attacks.

    Live feed concentrating on Swiss real estate - no sign of those audacious attacks then!

    At last - race is on? Nico Roche at the front of the chase and the breakaway is over for the day. Tom Boonen close to the front.

    Team BMC at the front setting the pace with 18km to go. The last of the 4cat climbs comes in another 4/5 km.

    Edit - Azanza rides off the front at the foot of the last climb of the day, but hasn't got much of an advantage.

    Everything back together with 10km to go. Can't see past a day for the sprint trains now as the pace is so high, being set between BMC and IAM.

    Edit OGE coming to the front with 2km to go for Goss.

    Kristoff from Sagan and Demare.

    Kristoff - wow! Super strong sprint over Sagan

    Kristoff's having a pretty good season, huh?

    Good show by Kristoff, Sagan could not go past him there. Not sure what happened to the OGE plan but Goss managed 6th at the end behind Haussler.

    I thought this was supposed to be a race full of excitement where riders with panache ride off to solo glory free from the dominance of diesel trains? :lol:

    Lightweight. :wink:

    Lousy parcour again this year.
    A couple of mid mountains straight off the bat, then nothing until the almost obligatory La Punt downhill finish on Friday.
    Fell asleep watching.
    Woke up to see Sagan getting schooled. I wonder if he's paying a bit for going so deep the other day?

    Yeah, shame the route is pathetic. These riders are up for it.
