Sky BMC and Liquigas on the front. It looked like there was some strong winds coming off Lac Leman

Can I just ask, what is with your avatar? Looks funny...

8km and 8 seconds

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

Hmm, wonder if LLS and Freire can get it right this time.

 

[Jamsque]

Wow, my stream is WAY behind, I am getting out of here.

 

[auscyclefan94]

attack Vino with 2 to go, but it's not going to work

 

[Moondance]

Freire in perfect position.

Swift, just held it.

Magnificent work by the Sky boys. Thomas was brilliant as usual.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Swift wins!!!

Evans takes the gc

What a season is swift having!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Didn't I tell you Freire got slower??

In sprints like these he hardly stands a chance to win anymore. Unless the course has been hardedr and more sprinters have been shed.

Congrats to Evans as well. Another excellent victory for him. Here's hoping he'll get his Tour prep right this year.

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.

2nd Romandie title for Cadel...nice!
