Degenkolb, Battaglin and Dumoulin have gotten a gap to the peloton and have closed the gap to Gallopin.

Doesn't work. Probably my work blocking it or something which I can understand
Allthough i've watched plenty of streams before without any problems.

That are names for the final. Are we near the end of the race?

i think Greg has been drinking

Looking like its going to be a good final lap.

Approximately 20kms remaining.

 

[Spare Tyre]

I think there is a lap and a bit to go.

Jelle Wallays (Belgium) just off the front of the peloton now, but situation is still fluid. Peloton strung out.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

They are all attacking like mad men.

Now it's Wallays of Belgium in the head of the race.

 

[davis_123]

about 25km to go just over one lap, some Belgian guy in front but he is about 50m in front so he will be caught.

 

[Spare Tyre]

There goes the bell. 3 riders out front by only about 3 seconds.

Final Lap, here comes the fun

 

[davis_123]

Bell lap and shes all together, let the attacks begin

 

[Spare Tyre]

And bloody hell we go to an ad break.

Looked like the peloton had slowed and bunched a bit. Should be an interesting climb up that first hill.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Looking forward to that hill. Will we see names like Eijssen, Diaz and Betancur attack?

 

[davis_123]

i'll laugh if channel 10 has cut out the 1st climb with an add break, its in the 1st 6km right?

 

[Anonymous]

the pace is insane. this isnt going to let up at all

12k to go

 

[Spare Tyre]

11 km or so to finish.

Peloton still large, but strung out. Leaders changing a bit. Heading on to the first climb now I think.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Jean-Lou Paiani (France) off the front, climbing strongly.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Being scandinavian, our biggest hope is probably Sebastian Lander from Denmark, a pretty strong finisher who got 3rd place in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Espoirs this year.

Go Lander!

 

[Spare Tyre]

Wow, they're all climbing like lunatics.

On the downhill towards the bridge now.

Gallopin, Jesus Herrada Lopez (Spain) and a few others. Maybe 10 ? going clear of peloton.

Edit: Maybe 20

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Herrada Lopez first up the hill. Degenkolb, Betancur, Gallopin all among the leaders.

And Gallopin continues, attacking again.

 

[davis_123]

Matthews would have to be favourite now, they have crested the climb and he is only 3 seconds back.

No idea who the other sprinters are though.

The french are really going for it.

Only 1 brit in the lead group by the looks of it

 

[Spare Tyre]

2nd climb. First group still together, but peloton not far off the back.
