    Just heard that a controlled explosion was carried out near the finish line of the road race. Haven't read all of this thread so apologies if it has already been mentioned

    This race reminds me of the 2013 World Championships, where they had those repeated climbs and descents of the hills above Florence - people dropped off one by one and by the end of it all there was almost no-one left racing.

    Edit: And here's Rui Costa, Valverde and Rodriguez trying to bridge across to Nibali - where did we see that before?

    Dan needs to get to the Spaniards and hope they pull back the Italians and others.

    Fabulous move by the Italians to get 3 away there. Strange thing to happen.

    Superb performance by Kwiatkowski, though with that kind of form, has he thrown away a great chance of medalling by being out all day?

    Since winning world championship he seems to ride like that. Brilliant, early, pointless.

    Huge effort from Fabian to pull this back. Dan still tucked in at the rear of the chase group. Hoping he has good legs for the climb.
