If anyone hasn't found it, race is on at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cycling/36543055 again. Sounds like Porter and Backstedt commentating.

"Incident" on the road stops the race. Welcome to Britain, world class cycling.

Ah, something to do with the sportive - sounds like a serous accident. Makes you wonder about the wisdom of having an amateur event on the same roads and same day as a pro event.

Air ambulances using the road ahead. I don't know if it's still the rider who hit the tree or if it's another. It seems to have been a crashy sportive this year

Conflicting reports in twitterland - either due to crash in sportive or crowd encroaching onto course at Dorking. Or both? Or neither?

NFTO say crowd, Tram Dimension Data say crash. Who knows?
At least it's not a scheduled train like in Paris Roubaix.

Yes, you'd never get that happening on Mont Ventoux.

Ride London spokesperson quoted as saying the delay "was on the advice of police on the grounds of public safety due to congestion in Dorking High Street of riders in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100. This was caused by a combination of the delay from the earlier stop when a rider required an air ambulance and other riders who were diverted at mile 44.”

Anyway, the breakaway has all the hallmarks of a doomed day out, doesn't it? Reduced bunch sprint and Swifty to finally take it?

Yes - why they couldn't maintain coverage until they were up and running on BBC1 I don't know. Are the BBC that desperate for bandwidth? They've obviously decided nothing interesting will happen on the steepest hill of the race and can they can safely bore us all with an undemanding interview with Froome instead.
