On screen graphic says 28kmh - even I could keep up with that!

The people on the beach aren't too fussed that a 'chain gang' is going passed their patch.

Up to 30 kph now

Mass pi$$ break. Right in front of the crowds.

 

[coffeejo]

Hmm, distinct lack of roadside hedges on this stretch of road..

 

[smutchin]

Commentators have not yet noticed that there are two Katusha riders in the break.

 

[brommers]

On Grumari circuit now

It's almost getting interesting!

 

[coffeejo]

Cobbles producing crashes and mechanicals.

 

[Buddfox]

I sometimes wonder about the commentary. Boardman mentioned that the Danes had now come to the front, but missing that Froome plus one other GB rider (either Stannard or Cummings) were there as well. Surely that would have been more relevant?

 

[brommers]

This is a great course

Stannard Froome and Cummings all up at the sharp end of the peloton

 

[Crackle]

This is turning into an interesting race.
