    If Kennaugh doesn't hold on then I reckon it'll go to someone like Millar or Thomas with a late attack. Can't see the Aussie's getting a sprint finish for Renshaw

    Glasgow looks like a lovely place for a summer holiday today :)

    Haas slid off the front going through the feed zone, got a decent gap on the bunch. Guess the Aussies want to force someone else to do some work.

    He's got 20s on the bunch, 1:45 to PK

    Haas back in the bunch, PK at around 2 mins

    Haas dropped back and PK has increased his lead by 10" Meanwhile, according to commentary, Glasgow airport closed due to bad weather.

    This is a race of attrition. There won't be many left to chase down Kennaugh at this rate!

    Bah think that that was Grant Ferguson with Tuft off the back then. Still a fine effort from him. Bunch is barely double figures now!

    Bauer at 37s, PK would probably welcome some company
