Nah some lady stepped off the curb as a pack passed by causing some rider to swerve massivly and nearly come off!

Honestly, spectators are ******* retarded sometimes :rolleyes:

The Swiss kit is really nice.

At this rate the breakaway might come up behind the peloton on Box Hill.

Small crash. No-one important involved.

ic1male · 28 Jul 2012 at 11:47

LOL, one of the spectactors fell backwards right on to his bum. Ouch!

George Hincapie · 28 Jul 2012 at 11:52

Awesome!

Is that person in the background using an iPad to take photos?

Good lord, I didn't think i'd ever actually see anyone genuinely do that

I was in Barcelona recently and I saw hundreds of people taking photos with tablets! It looks a bit daft.

Yeah, people watching the torch in London this week were taking video with their iPads held aloft. Prime mugging targets if you ask me.

All these slow-mo shots are great, but they scare the hell out of me

I'v only ever seen a director cut to a slow-mo before when someone has fallen/crashed/etc, i keep thinking something has happened.

Single rider break away :eek:

, wonder how long til he gets swallowed up. Bit confused why there isnt a permanent timing display to show the times between the leaders, chase and peleton. Just not enough information to understand when these breaks are made how viable they are...

Gilbert is very strong, but i doubt even he can hold off the peleton on his own. Things are looking good for Cav now.
One last climb up box hill to go and doesnt look like he's struggling too much yet.

Gilbert has 1:20 over the peleton with around 40k to go.
Looks very much like this will be a bunch sprint.

Just switched on and the lack of timing is making it difficult. Are Team GB in the peloton?

Guerrilla · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:51

Yea, they were at the front of the peloton for the majority, a few have moved up ahead of them now.

Pretty much they have been pacing the Peleton for the whole race, its just now that other riders have made a 2nd chase group to bridge the first chase group and the lone leader.

I doubt Gilbert can keep that lead up for the 30+ miles...

Cosimo · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:54

Around what time are we expecting the race to finish?

touch · 28 Jul 2012 at 14:58

Around 4.

touch · 28 Jul 2012 at 15:06

Uh oh! Cancellara in the break?
Not good news for Cav, Cancellara is the sort of guy who could ride that sort of distance on his own and hold off the peleton.

Good to see Eisel in his usual place in the "Sky" train
