that stream doesn't work for me but I watch it in swiss tv and there are 12km to go

can you give us some updates? twitter feed isn't the best.

Sky BMC and Liquigas on the front. It looked like there was some strong winds coming off Lac Leman
 
8km to go, 12 seconds for the break, Liquigas on the front, Sky, Movistar and Ag2R also visible

Edit: peloton nearly together now with 6km to go

don't know which sprinters are in there, doesn't look like more than ~80 guys in total

Edit 2: HTC not visible, don't think Renshaw is in there, neither any quick step riders on the front. Swift and Freire are definitely there, I think Koldo Fernandez and Lorenzetto also
 
Ben Swift is having an amazing season. Hope he gets a spot on the TDF squad. Together, he and EBH should be able to do something in the semi-hard sprint stages where Cavendish etc are dropped, and he isn't useless in a TTT either.
