196km to go: It’s been a fast start with plenty of riders trying to get in the as yet unformed breakaway. The profile of today’s stage means that anyone who can get away from the bunch will fancy their chances of winning.
197km to go: We have three riders in front with a very slender lead, four more behind them and the peloton a couple of seconds back in hot pursuit. They’re travelling at 63km per hour.
