    Guesstimate from tele is they'll be at the finish in around 90 mins. Even the BBC making the calculayshun.

    Flat for Giant's Timmer (or Veelers). No drama.

    Yeah but they weren't pink. There was an actual pink horse, a real live pink painted horse at the beginning of the coverage. I must find it for an avi.

    I've just crossed the route at bottom of Shankhill. Every manhole vover being checked by bomb sniffer dogs. If only they did similar yesterday.

    Same everywhere for every major event. Shame.

    Well done Tjallingii. Really dug deep and wanted that.

    Peloton around a minute behind. Cars being removed.

    Jesus from the heli-shot you can really see how patched the road surface is.

    Why is it like that in the UK? I've never really figured that out, it doesn't happen elsewhere in Europe.

    Well that corner was fine. Kittel wins a slo-mo sprint. Zero excitement from that. Looks like their muscles were frozen or they were weighed down by their sodden clothes.

    They didn't get a World Tour licence. I'm sure he'll be around some other team's bus for a rumble shortly.
