No, there was a slight split in the group in which Voeckler and Rosetto lost time.

This time gap rule seems odd to me. Surely the second group should be 1 sec back not 6 secs??

Re:

Today's stage as dull as yesterday's was exciting.

Thats's a bit harsh. It was a sprint stage in which the last breakaway rider was caught with a km to go and two different riders seriously tried to win with late solo attacks. That automatically puts it in the top 20% of sprint stages.

Great race so far imo.Now remain to see if Nordhaug can hold on the jersey,Sanchez and Voeckler might have a word about it.Plan B for Sky Deignan looks in great shape,so they have an ace up their sleeves.

It is not the gap between the back of one group and the front of the next: it is the difference between the winner and the front of each subsequent group.
By your proposal, what if there were another 1 second split near the back of the peloton: would they be awarded a time of +2?

You were waiting for Wiggins to attack. You're more likely to see a cow jump over the moon.

One can only dream

My weather forecast says that it will clear up in the afternoon. For most of the last 50-60km the wind will be generally favourable apart from the last few km. Expect Europcar and, in particular, BMC, to go all out to split up the race. GvA or Herrmans will try to draw the sting out of the Sky team for Sammy, but I think Deignan and Nordhaug will be too strong.

Anyone got a stream?

 

[Beacon Hill]

Cant find any streams for the next 30 mins or so.

 

[TMP402]

having really enjoyed watching the first day, and expecting similar today, i am now a fan of this race and want it to become a modern-day prestigious race, a 3 day strade bianche if you will. therefore i hope tommy v or samu successfully attack hordhaug to set the tone for good winners in the future.

Rest of the break now swept up.

 

[goggalor]

Incredible crowds.

 

[DBotero]

Good acceleration from Edmondson.

 

[Velolover2]

Why are BMC pulling?

 

[Netserk]

They want the bonus seconds on the line to be in play.

As well as to toughen up the race.

 

[DBotero]

Small group left after Deignan pulling.Amazing crowds on this weather.
