    Inside 50kms to go with a 50 sec gap to close.

    I may have to grab an early beer.

    Front group must be down to 40-50 at most by now. 1:44 to Valverde with a couple of smaller groups in between.

    I know Valverde isn't everyones favourite rider, but seems a shame to watch a riders hopes disappear cause of a puncture. Saying that why did mess about changing the back wheel - why not use another riders bike (or do rules forbid this - sure I have see it happen in other races), I know it isnt set up for him but wld have saved a heap of time.

    Yeah it's a piti
