'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share 84km to go and the rain is pouring down now . Orica knock the pace off a little on a short descent, a sign that no one wants to take any risks at the moment. They'll also be waiting for their teammate at the back of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share There's an Orica rider at the side of the road and he's looking for mechanical assistance. Eldron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Looks like a fall in the bunch as they head over the climb. Thurau is on the side of the road and trying to sort out his bike. An Androni rider was also involved but they're all up and riding again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Up ahead and Armee takes a long pull on the front of the break. Lotto had a poor ride yesterday and were down to five riders quickly. They'll be looking for stage wins in the race and Monfort will be in the hunt for a top ten place on GC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Right on the coastline now and the bunch have Orica and Giant Shimano on the front. Still not much wind but the rain continues to come down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share Very impressive public support as the Irish are coming out in thousands.Awesome! The crowds are three-four deep in places, a fantastic turn out given the poor conditions. The four leaders, still working well, have 4'30 over the peloton with 62km to go. The bunch are strung out but the pace is steady rather than fast at the moment.

'Dale Posted May 10, 2014 Share A number off riders are dropping back to the cars and taking off clothing. We're approaching the last hour or so of racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
