Dutchies have no chance today.:p

Cauberg is a power climb, so an Ardennes Classics type rider has the best chance. This means Gesink is Dutch's best hope, which is pretty much nil. But I think he will be the Dutchman with the best result today.

Gesink should be a good chance for a top 10, which means he could get a medal if he's lucky.

Ok, never thought the first 100k would be so high paced. This will be a very tough race, not so sure now that sprinters like Freire and Boonen will survive this. Anyhow, very interesting development so far.

GB is not trying to form echelons though, they just riding steady pace.

Dutch went with high pace, for what ... 3 minutes ? :p And they're gone.

And yet in 3 minutes they did more than GB have done so far..

..Something meaningful

But that's not the point...

GB is riding steady pace so the break doesn't gain too much.

No point going full out and then stopping any pace at all if you want to catch the break later on, is it ? :rolleyes:

BBC commentary team is doing quite well imo. David Millar is great, and Hugh Porter is kind of just leaving him to it, even used his start sheet to indentify some obscure riders!
