    Clearer now:

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

    Km 140 - Bystrom, Gallopin, Wynants, Sarreau and Siskevicius are in the lead, followed by Philippe Gilbert at 10 seconds and the peloton 23 seconds adrift.

    Has Phil Gil gone backwards or forwards?

    Not now!
    Km 142 - Philippe Gilbert (BMC) joined the leading group, which lost Geoffrey Soupe (Cofidis). The six lead the peloton by 50 seconds.

    France 3 should be about to start which means the rest can follow with pictures.
    Too bad it's all come back together and settled down. :oops:

    looks pretty bleak and seriously hard racing. 5 in front group seem to be working - peleton being plled along by 4 rotating (sky, fdj, lampre, trek). gap is constant at a few seconds over a minute

    edit - obs not lampre but merida whatevertheyarenow - really tacky gold helmets

    Of course, there is nothing much to see, now that we are live.
    Just the peloton chasing the breakaway for the sprint and a load of ad breaks.

    Mystery rider is Evaldas Siskevicius, so still a mystery to me at least.

    I'm assuming, dish_dash, that you needed Google to know that. Otherwise, I would be impressed.

    I have ad free Sporza, not that much has happened, since we've gone live.
    Gilbert has always been good in these conditions.

    last 5km doesn't seem to have a single sharp corner which won't help a lone leader - and cos it is a little lap they have all seen the roads today already. the peleton will fly along

    That's partly because the time gaps are taken from transponders on the camera bikes.

    Where's Phil Gil anyone?


    In the Bert group

    Cheers.

    I have a rather narrow lens through which I watch a lot of this; namely, how are the classics guys doing, and who of the Poggio potential protagonists (PPP) are doing well.
