    The buildings on the Via Salviati are the EU academic archives in case you're interested. Hours of entertainment to be had in there... Errrrrr.

    Pretty weak German squad which brings to the fore their lack of breadth in type of riders.

    Fra Spa Ita and Bel well represented. GB riders should hang their heads in shame.

    Yeah. It sounds like a dial-up modem.

    Yes, it sounds as if they are having problems with their dial-up connection.

    Still 5 laps to go :roll:

    Why? Apart from Cavendish, they haven't got any riders who actually ever won a one-day race

    I wonder if Geraint had to fall back for Froome or whether he just didn't have the legs. He hasnt dnf yet.

    I think he was off the back quite soon after they entered the finishing circuit. I think he's actually caught and passed Froome, possibly with Froome saying he didn't fancy it/have the legs on his way past.

    Did he go through the check at the start of this lap? He was in a group behind Froome for a while so i dont think he dropped back to help him.

    Thanks guys re G.

    NED with 5 guys. Colombians still well represented and it is not like they are used to these conditions - I guess they have hearts and desire tho.

    As I've stated before, this is a ridiculous race as it's so stacked in favour of a handful of nations who have teams of 9 against others with only 1 or 2 riders....

    TJVG was in the big crash, and the Lightweight had to wait to try and pace him back on. Like a teammate is supposed to do.
