Looking good. How long is the climb there?
Not that long - certainly no more than 2km, didn't take too long to walk up. The killer bit of it is a few steep sections with false flat (still uphill) bits in between

Sky fail.
Doing the pace and then suddenly they only have one rider left in the first chasing group.

Think it's only down as 0.9m so around 1.5km. What's the weather/wind like out there? |

Length depends on where you choose the starting point. Road is going uphill before leaving Caerphilly.
There's a bit of wind about and its cloudy.

JTL looks like by far the strongest. He really destroyed the others on the first climb. König in good position too now, after a smart attack.

Was that guy in the pink shirt running with fish & chips in his hand? Put it down, man.

No. JTL was just 24 seconds behind Howard at the start of the day.

JTL gained 39 seconds with that second place so he must be in Gold |

Now I blame Eurosport for making a quite awkward comment

Lame win by Konig, however that's another possible stage race for JTL, making it possibly 4 already this year
