I didn't realise there were only 5 riders in teams for this event, so surely this isn't going to be at all easy for Team GB?

Not at all easy, fortunately the Germans can't afford to let the break get too far ahead either as they want a sprint finish too so they will have work with GB to bring it back in due course. -- |

In fact Tony Martin has just moved up to the front of the bunch. -- |

Big mistake IMHO, letting Rogers go without a GB rider. if he gets to the break could be game over. Sometimes you have to change tactics according to what's happening. Hmmm...

Yup. I'm still a bit worried GB have a touch of the George Osborns - not going to change course whatever happens. We shall see! Really annoying is the lack of time checks - why would you not have time checks FFS?

As I posted that up comes time check indicating GB's austerity ;-) measures are working!
Go Team GB! UD |

What's with all the slo-mo corner shots? Jeez. Once is enough - much better things to show in slo-mo than that!
