    Armitstead solo and heading for the win in Glasgow, dropped King and Trott in the final lap.

    Laura Trott 2nd, Dani King 3rd. And Jo Rowsell comes in 4th to complete the Olympic Pursuit triumvirate.

    Congrats, Lizzie. Pretty dominant finish by the sounds of it.

    Surely that would have made for good live television.

    No live streaming of the UK men's race? Behind the curve - where is Sky when you need them...

    Coverage of the French race from 3:30 CET. Conditions here (about 100km to the East) are pretty dire. Wet and very windy.

    Good to see Alex Blaine of Team Raleigh in the break. Last I heard these 11 had over 10 minutes on the peloton:

    Vichot (FDJ), Bonnet (FDJ), Engoulvent (SOJ), Paiani (SOJ), Médérel (SOJ), Blain (Raliegh), Tulik (EUC), Séb.Chavanel (EUC), Dion (BSE), Chainel (ALM), Poulhies (COF)

    Ventoso y Erviti (Movistar Team), Astarloza (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Aramendia (Caja Rural-RGA), Darío Hernández (Burgos-BH)

    4'20 to the peloton

    No Ag2R? Looks good for Vichot?

    Yay for Lizzie.

    Must say I am liking the Boels kit, it is getting a lot of airtime on the Belgian's women's race right now.

    Chainel there from AG2R. I'd be surprised if they stay away but stranger things have happened.

    Danish champs stream:

    No commentary that I can hear.

    edit: very very poor stream at that.

    Thanks. At least it is a stream which is more than I can find for any other race at the moment.

    There is commentary but it is very quiet.

    Gap down to 6:30 with 90km to go.

    The Danish stream has gotten better too.

    I think the Netherlands will be the next stream to come online.

    In Spain, it looks like Erviti and Astarloza have 4'30 over the peloton, with 30k to go.

    In Belgium after only 60 km already 50 riders abandoned. Must be a hard route after all

    Lots of deep rims over in Denmark and looks like only a Saxo and a BMC rider in the picture - the rest being whatever teams - demonstrative of the lack of Danish talent in top flight cycling.

    Best of 5 I think. I'm getting quite into it now though.

    Dion is there for Bretagne but the balance isn't right. FDJ are too dominant. The others won't fully cooperate.

    Plus there are a few decent sized lesser teams not represented like BigMat and La Pomme Marseille.
