    Cannondale's official twitter feed has one redeeming feature - honesty

    Front group down to 13

    Degenkolb, Kristoff, Bystrom, Gallopin, Alaphilippe, Kittel, Demare, Laporte, Swift, Bennett, Zakarin, Henao, Rowe.
    the live tracking shows Demare in first group and third group. I assume he is at the front?

    According to team Twitter, yes. Along with three or so teammates.
    Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy

    We seem to now be live on Eurosport.

    Edit - stage one repeat is on.

    Mitch Docker - good ride by him to be in the front group?

    Keep thinking Swift is still Sky...

    So has Greipel been dropped from that front group then?

    My PTP appears to be a complete shoot show.

    Thought I'd blown it have Contador as my PTP pick, til i saw that Porte is at 4.30

    Really bad PTP for me so far... Did well in Omloop but it's been a total rainout since!

    My man Rowe in danger of showing all his cards before the proper races begin.

    So, the good news is that we have full on racing causing total carnage again, with riders all over the flatlands of France.
    The bad news is that by the time we get to see any of it, the race will be almost over.

    Is it just Eurosport not showing it till 2.30 or is the race broadcast not on till 2.30?

    Same, picked GVA for Omloop and I've been nowhere since then.

    Still, it's a marathon, not a sprint!

    I've got the live stream on Eurosport on the go. No picture. Strange sound.

    Just rewatched the Bardet saga on the eurosport player - bang to rights. The drafting was usual, but the long mechanical interventions (which was lubing his chain/mech at very high speed) and slingshot bottles were taking the p!ss. After one bionic bottle he shot past a red commissaire car (I presume) and the BMC rider who was sheltering behind it had to sprint to catch him - made it very obvious

    Km 138 - The Contador group just caught the 22 front riders. Six riders are moving ahead.

    What's going on with Eurosport? The replay from yesterday just finished on one eurosport channel, that channel then started showing some sort of wintersports. I switched to the other Eurosport channel and got highlights from stage 1 again!

    I had Kwai at Strada Bianche and Demare yesterday, just hoping for Kristoff today for the hat trick .

    The website ticker is confusing.
    It's suggesting Grp Contador/Martin hasn't made it to the main group but says there's only one rider in that 4th group.
