I reckon it is over. GB look tired, and the leading group is big.

Only hope is that there are too many passengers up front and it starts to fall apart.

They're not going to get back. If it were a group of 10 riders then probably, but not 30. Oh well.

This is probably down to the lack of radios. I bet if they'd known just how many riders were out the front, they never would have let them go so easily.

Team GB to dump everything to get it back and leave cav without a lead out train?

I guess what the other sprint teams want but a risky gae for them to as as I guess it is all or nothing or them and I suppose GB

Need to make some inroads at the next time check but some serious riders in the break

Boardman and Liggett need to stop complaining that the computer isn't doing the commentating for them.

edit - Is it Liggett?

Just realising just how annoying Hugh Porter is!

You'd think he's only just learnt about road racing the way he goes on... Chris Boardman having to correct him at every opportunity!

The frustrating thing was how complaisant Boardman was about it coming together any minute - it was so obvious this was going to happen.

They still have a chance but it's super slim now.

Don't know about a gold, at this rate there won't even be a sprint.

Can we blame the Germans for this? Let's hope so.

If Greipel wins after this I'll be mightily p*ssed off. Although quietly respectful of the tactical balls of steel.
