'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share The leaders have passed the 100km mark now and their gap has come down to 4:35. There is still a little way to go for them to reach the second intermediate sprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share FDJ is sharing the pace setting on the peloton with Movistar and Giant-Shimano. Movistar are keeping the leader Jonathan Castroviejo safe, while FDJ and Giant are working for their men Nacer Bouhanni and John Degenkolb.

'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share There is still 4:18 separating the peloton and the peloton and the leaders. The wind continues to blow fairly hard and it has the potential to spoil things for the sprinters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share It's not just the wind that can trip up some of the stage favourites today. The finish in San Fernando is a tight and twisty one. San Fernando is an Island and the riders will be taking the narrow route towards Cadiz to get there. There are also four 90 degree turns in the final two kilometres, which pose a difficult challenge.

'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share Debusschere, Kudus and Fellin all down. The first two are quickly back on their bikes and chasing back on, but Fellin took much longer to get going. The Trek rider looks like he's fallen on his shoulder, as he has a rip on the back of his shoulder. He is back on but looking a little tentative.

'Dale Posted August 24, 2014 Share “I actually come here with no big expectations, rather I’m the second guy for Samuel Sánchez... I’m actually pretty calm about it all, I’ve got to find my way a little bit, because it’s been ten years since I’ve been to a Grand Tour without being expected to win it. It’s kind of nice.” Cuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
