    Some confusion between "Rigoberto Uran" and "Rider from Iran" :)

    A rider from Iran goes down on a corner. Temporary confusion as Iran sounds a lot like Uran.

    What time are we expecting this to finish? Around 8pm uk time?

    Yeah 8-8.15

    Cummings taken a group away, presumably so GB don't have to do literally everything.

    If in doubt ride on the front - that's just standard team GB tactics. Gilbert is still grateful.

    It's why they didn't want to include Cummings and why they should have included him from the start.

    I like most of the kits - the absence of huge sposor logos is a great improvement

    Turns out they don't fit in to a standard bottle cage.

    Apparently only allowed to use Olympic issue bottles. If you look they are all identical. However, I did see Kwia with a bottle with Polska written on it.

    Edit: scratch that, now seeing lots of different bottles. GB seem to have their own.

    Dodgy motor pacing is not limited to the Italians, it seems. Team GB not above being very cheeky. And was it a mechanical, or a panned bike change?
    They use their cars as shopping baskets; they use their cars as overcoats.

    Froome has attached himself to the back of the car. Bit naughty if that was a tactical bike change.

    Yeah, strange one, think both Froome and Thomas stopped to change bikes.
