    Huge effort by Gallopin.
    The two up front have looked back and are now waiting.

    Vichot needs to sit in. He has numbers behind and he's been in the break all day.

    Long way to go in GB race (100km +) so can see why they might be holding back a bit.

    Kroon and Dumoulin look like they might join the front 3.

    :D Yes I heard that. It's always nice to have my random musings confirmed by someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

    Chavanel or Gallopin have this unless the chasers organise themselves. One FDJ rider isn't going to drag that chase group back.

    Edit: As I type that Eurpcar begin to help. Still think it's too late though.

    Its not Terpstra with those two. Some Blanco rider I cant identify.

    Behind or in front (I have no idea) there is Terpstra with another few

    definitely game over.

    Chava just turned up the gas and we are approaching 40secs.

    The Fra TT winner has never won the RR in the same year.

    Chavanel could well be the first.

    Zoidl won in Austria. Nothing too great, but the guy's looked the goods this year.

    All three up front have a decent sprint. I imagine Chavanel will try and arrive solo though.

    Dumoulin caught and dropped Tankink and is now trying to bridge to the two up front. Big bloke.
