Marko Albert had to stop for a moment - seemed to be a problem with his chain. But he is back to high speed again

op 3 Men Bas Diederen, Marko Albert and Benjamin Collins are heading towards Heron Road. Beautiful weather.

Weather is great down here. Sea conditions looked good, very slight chop. Will have to wait for athletes to report back on that

Any wind?What direction?

Any wind?What direction?

 

Looking at the live online coverage it looks warm and along the coast from the helicopter the sea looks pretty calm...so far

 

The road looks quite congested, i hope the camera bikes don't take out riders going the other way.

Strange seeing the lead men without the traditional tear drop aero helmets... pisspot style instead
