    Hope he pushes on. I'm concerned he will sit up

    Good effort from Sammy Sanchez at the head of the peloton setting the pace up the hill there. That's his work done for the day. Unfortunately, as my PTP pick I was hoping he would be fresh for an exciting decent and a flat out race to the finish :?

    Time to wonder which part time sprinters are in the peleton. Swift?

    Don't think so. Thought he was, but looked less like him from behind.

    Uran is usually fast enough for 3rd place.

    Did Ulissi make it over? He didn't look very happy at the start of the hill.

    Love Kelly's appraisal of Pelizotti's sprinting !

    If Preidler recovers well he should be up there.

    Hope so although he looked absolutely trashed after the summit

    Better than dodgy Mick who seems to have had a Chinese takeaway last night

    Presumably Kelderman has a good chance.

    Kelly keeps making me look like I'm copying him.

    He's got this. There's nobody in the bunch who could close it down that is prepared to do so.

    Can anyone give me a quick rundown of who is left in the chasing group? Any sprinters there? I've heard Ulissi has been dropped, anyone else?

    5km to go 35" gap. There is a small kick in the run in with 300m to go. MIght be useful for some cheeky bonifications.

    He's pulling it out again here if we can believe the time gaps

    Lovely shot of the peloton cresting that last wee rise spread across the road
