Well they're on the road - the live GPS timing system is cool (on the BBC coverage) I wonder how accurate it is! At this early stage Cancellara is in the lead by three seconds from Martin... Wiggo as usual appears to be measuring his effort over the first part of the course.

They've also now added Phinney (ref comments above) who is pacing time with Wiggins. Siutsou just took 1st place at the finish for the Sky fans amongst us :-)

Martin is flying, no doubt about that. My feeling is Cancellara has gone off too hard and will fade, and I'm hoping Wiggins really is saving his beans. Chavanel is third on the road at the moment, Wiggins only 6th. Quaade is the other rider in the mix, currently in fourth. It's all really tight though - very exciting!

Yes, and he has now moved ahead of Phinney and moving past Quaade. Not sure how Chavanel is faring at this point. On a positive note, Wiggo has been holding his time gap to Cancellara and Martin at 24 secs and 34 secs consistent for a while now, hopefully he moves it on from here.

Brad is the master of negative split pacing, but then Tony is hardly a neophyte either. Either way I still think it's going to be really close between them.
