Thanks, here, too.
Greipel last real sprinter, then Hagen and Pozzato.
No Farrar, Freire, Hushovd. Like this fact 
But honestly he won`t do it until the finish if there is an attack.
He lost already 6 sec on last climb, so he will lose more.
Don`t believe in Wegmann or Martin, unfortunately Martens isn`t in first group, he was my favourite in the German squad.
So my favourites now: Gilbert, Pozatto, Hagen

Then we are synchronized 
It looks good for anyone in the group rigth now, they nearly doubled their advantage on that lap. |

My only reaction to the composition of the group was AMAZEMENT that Greipel is somehow still there.
Freire, Hushovd and Farrar are in the peloton, the other sprinters have all either been dropped or abandoned (most abandoned)

Haven`t watched it from the beginning. So what happened that the group was splitted.
Cancellara, Sanchez, Freire in 2nd group???
@isso here the same. When I saw that the group is quite little, I didn`t expect him there.

I went to the bathroom and came back to see it split. The commentators haven't mentioned it since...

People getting dropped from the front group and the idiots are talking about the Surf WC.

There was an Italian, think it was Tosatto, who attacked on the hill, many in the peloton tried to follow, at the top of the hill, everything was splitted, but the first guys came together before the second hill. Then Nibali attacked, Gerrans followed from the bunch, the made it up, and then Belgium paced the group, suddenly they were all away. |

Evans is playing this very well. Not going with every move, giving it time so he can come back while spending the least possible energy.
Just as he did last year (then again last year's course was much harder).
Still over two laps to go. I wonder if they're going too early.

There's one thing I have to agree with the commentators with:
The directing is far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar below awful.
There's barely any time gaps, ever. Even the pictures barely show what's happening AT ALL.
EDIT: Screw this, the groups are slowly coming together.

Definately.
And the bunch is coming backto them, at least to the Gilbertgroup. |

Thought nothing happens in the next 20km so I decided to have breakfast and missed the attack |

Bunch Packed
At this point, I'd like to say my personal pick for "most likely" is a bunch sprint won by Freire (or Sagan or Farrar or whoever)

I'm starting to review my prediction....no one's attacking and still most of the peloton is grimly hanging on.
My preference, as always, is that a middling rider with no particular career wins/results wins the worlds. It's a nice thing to see
