NEWSFLASHESLIVE 14:12 Martinez the best on GC of escape Although the best placed of the escape group on GC is Martinez, there are several others who are relatively high on the overall rankings in the seven-man lead group. Martinez is 18th overall after 16 stages, at 21'41" Costa is 19th overall at 22'47". Valverde is 21st overall at 33'57". Casar is 22nd overall at 35'11". Voeckler is 23rd overall at 37'19". 14:10 With Nibali gone: this is the lead selection (again) Voeckler (EUC), Martinez (EUS), Nibali (LIQ), Peraud (ALM), Casar (FDJ), Valverde (MOV), Costa (MOV) and Kessiakoff (AST) are the men who are 26" ahead of the peloton.

14:08 Nibali waiting for peloton... Although he had a lead of 25" on the yellow jersey, Nibali has shaken hands with Valverde and wished him all the best: if the Italian stays on the attack, the front group has little chance of staying ahead. The rider in third overall is now waiting for the yellow jersey.

14:06 Nibali leads Wiggins' group by 25" Nibalii (LIQ) has moved up to virtual second place overall with his current advantage of 25" on the Wiggins group. 14:05 Boassan Hagen leads the reaction... Boasson Hagen appeared to have been in pursuit of Nibali but the Norwegian champion is now ahead of the yellow jersey's peloton with who of his Sky team-mates following him down the technical descent. Nibali is with the lead group but he's looking around and doesn't seem as though he's going to go to the front of hte bunch that also includes Voeckler. Martinez (EUS) is the rider at the front of the lead group.

Eat food not bird seed

Brilliant, seems to be the music to use for flying videos

damn 2 years back it was a mud fest (the last section as you meet back up with the N2) people bitching and moaning like crazy. I loved it though.

I think im in for the knysna 200 next year too, what about the 300?

Man i loved the days of the leather strip headgear, cant call it a helmet

I had the same problem with the Grape escape jumping from R800 to R2500 from year 1 to year 2, lots of riders boycotted the event. It would be interesting to see what the entries were like this year.

Jip, spaceship for sure, except its on the road........."roadship"

Did this Bomber have sweeping back bars?

We are not alone

The end result is the same http://www.badasstoys.com/chandler/chandler_gear_calculator.htm
