    Hmm... I may have spoken too soon here - gap seemed to go down very quickly for a while and I didn't notice that it had stalled.

    3 minutes with 26.4km to go? They're* screwed I reckon.

    *the break


    Well at the rate of 1 min per...I'll get my coat
    Heh - it was coming down quicker than that up until a little while ago I think - as I said, then it stalled.

    A mate of mine got kicked ouit after year 2, stacked shelves in Tesco for a while, did a HND in computing and never looked back, he flies back from Swiss most weekends to watch Newcastle United play

    he has my deepest condolences.. :wink:

    Think the stall was due to the descent more than anything. Easier for 4 than the peloton to drill it

    I say it will get wound in. the peleton won't get caught out by a break so soon after Bakelandts. Sagan will thrash those cannondale horses

    Ah the clever bugger who got 100% or whatever. I thought Kirby had gone back to describing riders looks and I'd missed it. Ooo tectonic plates...

    certainly would be "magical if Matt Goss could do it today" In a Harry Potter sort of way though...

    Edit - ahh cr*p

    Why does that commentator get so excited already? What's the matter with him? Hardly anything is happening.

    Because Eurosport sit him on a large motorised dildo which they fire up with less than 20km to go.

    Goss dropped!

    Since they joined Greenedge, his and Simon Gerran's careers have gone in dramatically different directions haven't they. A couple of years ago Cavendish was saying that Goss was the one rider that he really felt threatened by, and now look.
