    I haven't got any live feeds of the Men - I think we start pickingup coverage just after Sector 7

    Just noticed AvdB won using disc brakes.

    So we are on one of the crucial dirt sections and Eurosport have two channels showing last year!

    Men's race now live with 63kms to go.
    Pierre Latour off the front, so I hope Kirby isn't commentating.

    Camera motorbike can't get out of the way, Kwiato nearly riding into it every corner

    Kwiato and Valverde getting annoyed at the Moto for getting in the way
    Oss getting annoyed at the Moto for pulling them along and making the chase for Sagan etc harder.
    Generally, no one happy with the Moto

    Sagan in the chasing group of about 10, 15" behind the leaders group

    Bardet looked like he was struggling to get back on, good effort
  • No_Ta_Doctor
    No_Ta_Doctor Posts: 14,692
    He's got Van Aert with him and they've got a decent gap quite quickly

    Chasing group connected while we were on an ad break. So now about 20 in the lead group, Bardet and van Aert still off the front

    I reckon Bardet and van Aert will get caught pretty quick once they get off the gravel. Quite a few in the chasing group with teammates.
