Looks like it was Berhane anyway. Not a good start to the commentator's rider recognition!

Breakaway of the day has formed. Colombia the only favourite team to place a rider in it. Gap a minute and growing. Will this aid Gaviria enough?

Gilmore made a couple of howlers in the neutral zone, including failing to notice the riders wearing OPQS ice vests were Belgian too and mistaking a speed hump signal for a mechanical failure one. And now Millar's called it a five man break. Sleepy in the heat?

They've all taken on a good deal of liquids before the start to judge by the number of comfort breaks they're taking. They've only just started.

It was forecast to improve here about 1300, so just as the race should be starting to heat up, I think.

The forecast here is for sun this afternoon. I wonder whether it will dry out.

Germany doing a Camelback replacement on the move from the team car window

A few more hours of precipitation-inspired narcolepsy-inducing race-watching here then.

Today's Belgian men are yesterday's Dutch women... will they finish better?
