We have had a lively start here in Charlotte but as of yet no break has been able to get away, the latest to try is Teklehaimanot/Atlas Personal

Another five try there look but currently they only have 15s

The pack seems intent on not letting anyone succeed

Finally these eleven riders have gained over a minute, in this group are Wolfe and Van der Velde both Jelly Belly, Wubben/Rabobank Development, Medina/7up Racing, Anthony and Moir/Team Optum, Ottema and Schoonbroodt both Cyclingteam de Rijke, Castaneda/EPM-UNE, Magner/Hincapie Sportswear and Edgar/IG Sigma Sport

Once again it all comes to nothing

Edgar is trying again as the race comes down to the final twenty kilometres

Its time for the pushing and barging to begin as the sprinters teams jostle for the best position

Zirbel/Team Optum tries to put pressure on the sprint trains by raising the pace yet further

Forster/UnitedHealthcare is in pole position as we head towards the line

And he holds on to record a great victory

Christina Watches - Onfone

Well with ten kilometres to go we were in with a chance of challenging for the win but we gout completely out-muscled and out-fought, i am not a very happy man

After many attempts at trying to go clear the following five riders have eventually made it, they are Flaksis/Bontrager, Bosman/Rabobank Development, Pfingsten/Cyclingteam De Rijke, Schmitt/Nutrixxion and Carey/Airgas

There advantage at the moment is 5m 33s

There is no real chase at the moment but Jamis Hagens Berman are ready for when it is needed

The falling rain along with the wind will be making the riders so cold

The rain is even heavier at the finish line in Cambridge

The gap has fallen to 3m 12s

Jamis Hagens have now stepped up the pace

Archbold/An Post Chain Reaction is now chasing alone

They give it one last go as the peleton closes in

The break are caught just inside the ten kilometre banner

Stemper/5 Hour Energy has seen an opportunity to attack as everyone starts to plat cat and mouse

He gets caught by a chase group just before the red kite

But he gets a second wind and manages to hold on to the line to record a great victory

Cyclingteam De Rijke - Shanks

Another huge disappointment from the guys..........sigh !!!!

The four riders in the break are Sarmiento/Cannondale, Zabriskie/Garmin-Sharp, Arashiro/Europcar and Romero/Jamis Hagens Berman

The rain has started to fall

No team seems too concerned about chasing just yet

Race Radio is saying the lead is 4m 49s

Omega Pharma Quickstep are now in pursuit mode and have split the peleton in to three groups in the process

Stybar/Omega Pharma is now leading a chase group of ten riders

In the confusion on the short finishing circuit in Swansea the break was caught and two chase groups came together meaning we now have twenty six riders at the front of the race

As conditions get worse Westra/Vacansoleil powers a group of seven riders clear at the front

Stybar and Devenyns/Omega Pharm and Westra are now clear at the front

Cooke/Orica Greenedge is chasing them down

Devenyns has attacked

Westra is back in touch at the flame rouge

And its the Dutchman who grabs the win

Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team

With the combination of the weather and hard riding from Omega Pharma Quickstep, we just had nothing to offer
