    It's GVA or Sagan. Gilbert won't last. Trentin might have a chance as he can sit in.

    Any chance of a summary? Just got back to my hotel and crashed out in the bath. The thought of walking 20 minutes to Rapha is too scary!

    Gilbert solo with a minute. GvA Sagan Trentin and other B listers in chase.

    Sounds like a lack of a £20 chain catcher on both of Boonen's bikes cost him dearly....
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Not that historic - been done in 2008 & 2009.

    Yes he'll do this.

    On target for sub 4 hours at half way, stomach cramps at 15 miles left me walking virtually all of the last 11 miles. Finished in 4.52 - gutted, literally! First one out of the way though, the course for my next one should be more interesting though!

    This is going to be an unbelievable finish.

    If Gilbert does this it's one of the greatest rides of all time
