    Watch out for Gilbert. Geschke lurking also.

    Break is doomed now I think, Giant and Garmin now helping BMC at the front.

    Loving this feed. Zero ad breaks the last two hours, stable and clear.

    The fluo rider dropped from the break looks well and truly finished!

    Lovely shot of the bunch in full flow around a real 's' bend.

    Break down to 6 riders as they ride through a housing estate with 23km to go. Lead down to 27".

    Gilbert goes after riding his team like a chariot. 21ks, 15secs to the bunch. No one can follow him, good sign.

    Bad timing for the adverts again. Gilbert attacks.

    +1. They also had a moto ride round the outside of a bend with the break. Serious speed.

    Gilbert at 8" and bunch at 15" with riders clipping off the front. Gilbert will need to go straight through the break or he'll get caught.

    Bunch only looking around 30 riders or so.

    12 and 22 seconds now but bunch constantly splitting and reforming. Good racing.

    Not sure Gilbert has made the right move hear, he's not closing on the break and just sat in no-man's land.

    FFS yet another ad break on Bein. Brilliant.

    Matthews and Alaphilippe both in the chase group

    Decent 3rd group including Frenchie's man Alaphilippe and Matthews.

    Matthews will be well rested for the finish.

    Gilbert still solo but all together behind again. Scrap that, Gilbert nearly on the break but the peloton only 18 seconds back. Hard to call, keeps looking like the break will get caught then it opens up again.

    IAM looking pretty well placed and quite strong.

    All about to come together, must be gutting for Gilbert. Finally makes the bridge after 10km or more solo only to get caught straightaway.

    Serry and Brandle the last two to surrender. All together with Polsat at the front.

    Not much evidence that Gilbert will be a factor next week. Looked laboured.

    Inside the final 10km still pretty much all together but constant attacks.

    Just in but none of the Steephill links are working on my iPad :?
    Any ideas?

    Cheers
