Anybody knows were Sagan is?

First group i think as there is no news of him getting dropped and not to mention how easy it is to spot him

Van Avermaet, Van Zyl, Wallays, Morkov (not allowing danish letters? ) and Hayman are the attackers.

Average speed the first hour was 54,2 km/h

Apparently everything back together

Maybe they were riding fast just to escape the Sandstorm

Looks like Wiggins is having one of his "can't be arsed" weeks. Talk of his release from Sky being like "let out on parole" should have been a pointer.

Ah, ok. That twitter showed some incorrect km's left then - but also see from the latest that they are now 7km farther from the finish compared to 10 minutes ago...

Philippe Gilbert needs to change a wheel. Bad timing for the former world champion, Etixx accelerate.

News that there wont be any live coverage because of the weather??

 

[wirral]

might catch the final kms but I am not confident.

Now reporting weather conditions make live broadcasting impossible.
