[dlwssonic]

[dlwssonic]

Two SBS riders attacking in Spanish race!

 

[ingsve]

any news on the norwegian and belgium RR?

In Norway a break of around 12 riders is still in front and the main group is 2.20 behind but it was down in 1.30 not long ago. The main field only has 14 riders left as well. Alexander Kristoff is in the lead group and Hushovd and some of the other top pros are in the chase group. Hushovd has help from Gabriel Rasch and riders from the continental team he owns, Plussbank - Cervelo.

There are around 35 km left to go.

I seriously hope Gilbert is going to wait till the sprint to beat beat Boonen.... Would suck Tommeke's soul straight out.

Gaps for Britain:

Thomas, Wiggins, Kennaugh

+ 1'33
Stannard, Bibby House

+ 2'45
Rest of the 12 man break

Similar to last year then, a situation where Sky have ridden off the nearest challengers, and now will go head to head.

Contador with only Rojas with him.

 

[hrotha]

Contador attacks on the last climb, only Rojas can follow.

 

[icefire]

Contador started the fireworks in the last climb. He's alone at the front with JJRojas!

[Tyke1968]

Albert on the attck it seems.

 

[dlwssonic]

noooooo contador!

 

[uphillstruggle]

Team sky fans just tweeted: 'Peloton a long way behind. Now on the first of four 13.9 mile circuits' is there really that long left?

 

[Sneekes]

They might only be halfway through, long way to go.

As Sneekes says though, Thomas, Wiggins and Kennagh are clear - just ahead of Stannard, House and Bibby. Rest of the break further back.

TSF has just tweeted 55 miles to go, which I think is about 90k

 

[Gloin22]

Gilbert !!!

 

[Tuarts]

Gilbert attacking!

 

[DamonAlbarn]

Norway:
