    HUge crash in front on the narrow sector which is going to hold up the second group. Terpstra attacks this is mental - 146km to go still

    Good thing is he acknowledged it and didn't persist on going with the wrong person like one I could mention does!

    Tersptra caught and a missed group suddenly appears just behind the leaders.

    I believe it's some caught up in the crash on the cobbled sector where it split slightly

    The 3rd group was in touching distance of those guys who crashed .. we must have missed something

    My understanding is that the ones who got slowed but didn't go down split off - then the ones on the deck completely halted the momentum of the WVA group who were at the time 30s behind

    Hard to see this group coming back. Nearly 2 minutes is a big gap to pull back.

    Absolute chaos as the lone leader stops for a wheel change in the middle of a sector. Squeaky bums in the commentary box as the first bunch bears down on him!

    Pretty quick change for discs ....
