    So 4 Sky, 1 Raleigh and the real racers - Yates bros, Geraint chasing at 55-1.05. Peloton at 2.5 mins.

    On 3rd lap of 10 so a long way to go. Presumably UK want to finish last of all the Nationals just because?

    Lol, Wiggins disrespecting fans to go and watch Wimbledon today.

    I know that. Perhaps I should have been more specific... When did the break go and was there a reason G missed it?

    Contador disrespecting his fans by not defending his Vuelta and not competing at his national champs.

    How about you find out why there is no real WT team representation at the champs other than Movistar?

    Also Contador is not eating strawberries and cream.

    Did the Spanish Federation refuse to pay his strawberries and cream budget?

    Everyone apart from 8 riders have gone home have they? I know they don't want to miss any major moves up top, but there's going to be some p'd off sponsors.

    Anyway in the race, Rowe went for one to make the Yates bros chase. Yates boys rode the front and kept the gap at 10 secs. Then Simon Yates attacked and closed down Rowe with ease. Adam couldnt hack the pace and the other Sky riders were in trouble.

    Currently FOUR Sky and real racer Yates.

    Where is Millar? Oh, he has withdrawn. Doing a great job in his final year.

    Brads on the track team now. Didn't you see Uncle Shane's press release?

    Also on team orders to stay away Sir Dave couldn't risk the backlash if he didn't ride to plan and came away with the road jersey as well

    Poor Simon getting a bit of a working over here.

    Edmondson and Rowe away now.

    Looking super strong though Yates.

    Seriously poor strength in depth in the UK scene. Basically every single Nationals is just a training ride between Sky riders.

    I really hope Yates smokes them.

    Yates suffering. The two other Sky riders gapped him, caught the two in front and Simon had to claw himself back.

    Amazing ride considering he is racing after recovering from a broken collarbone.

    Seriously, take a look. Pre-decided race. Total shi t. They should ride as individuals not teams.

    Four Sky riders still cant dispatch Simon yet.

    I think he and Kennaugh look the strongest though. An attack from Yates might work

    Rowe and Edmondson out the back when the PK attacked.

    Basically played domestique. They should be able to fight for their own chance at wearing the stripes.
