    Kiri has gone solo from the break. The terminator has 45 secs on Favilli, Bilbao and Le Bon

    42km to race, 1min lead on those three and 4mins on the peloton. Would be great for him to hold on.

    Kiri had a great TT yesterday. Well at least I thought it was a really good effort. I was surprised no-one else commented on it

    Well he has form in the Worlds TT.

    He know has 1.40 on the others (who have given up) and 3.30 on a Katusha led (fast) peloton. 35km.

    COME ON KIRI!!

    Murderous Katusha on the rampage.

    2:48 now, 30 secs back in 5 minutes

    No need for knee-jerk excitement yet at all.

    Same (or very similar) to Cav in the Tour isn't it ?

    Game over for Kiri. 24km 2.30.

    Sagan shockingly bad unless he is not trying at all.

    Clavicle and scapula are very different bones...
    RIP commute...
    Sometimes seen bimbling around on a purple Fratello Disc or black and red Aprire Vincenza.

    No, his injury was a dislocated clavicle which unsurprisingly tore apart the ligament in the acromioclaviclar joint. He may have popped a little bit of the acromion off of the scapula- I could not see this reported though (its the pointy highest bit on your shoulder blade) but the main work would have been sorting out the ligamental damage. Its a very different injury to a scapular fracture if that is what Quintana has done.

    45s at 11k to go.

    Knee-jerk reactions firmly muted. All together for the final climb.

    14% at 2k to go of a 9.5k climb.

    There are berks absolutely everywhere. So many in fact that if you go on journey to somewhere that you've never been before then don't even bother taking a berk with you, cos there's bound to be one there when you get there.

    I think too many There's - you can take that one out. It's a good line tho :wink:

    Don't worry, it was rubbish, they are all swapping about at the front Cannondale on it a moment ago.

    Deignan stringing them out. Arredondo 2nd wheel. Contador fine. Froome at the back with three others. Contador has teammates.

    It looks like they are riding over the cracks photographed earlier in the thread now, they look filled to me

    Trademark Kiryienka capture just in time for kick-off. Good TV time for the team.
