Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

My bet is that all these tires popping off are from people with bad pressure gauges or they're simply just putting too much air in on purpose. ...

1, Howard
2, Cav
3, Van Poppel
4,
5, Downing
May not be in the correct order
Why did i take Howard out!!!!! argh
I know. I did the same. For House I think. Didn't know about Farrar so got him and Cav. Sabatini done fa!
Break surrenders. All back together now. 23km to go
Watching highlights 'package' on ITV4 I was fascinated to learn that the combativity prize is sponsored by Rouleur - the cheese maker. Thanks to Hugh Porter for that one.

Yanto
Sammy
Caruso

Thanks TER
It'd be unfair to shoot the messenger!!
Done all the KoM now. On the descent from Derbyshire into the Cheshire flatlands. Break still has about 3'30" or so on the bunch.
Some live updates are available here:
http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/road/article/roa20120910-road-Live-text...
although most of the commentary seems to be coming directly from https://twitter.com/RealStephens
And there's tracking and other bits and pieces on the ToB website:
http://www.tourofbritain.com/
The workers with no bandwidth sharing will have to rely on you the TER
Is there any live updates on the internet for the race.
Stuck at work and I need my race fix
Coverage not great, only updates ive been able to find are via the TOB twitter
#tob2012 on twitter. Live tracker (works in some browsers not others) http://www.mmteventtracker.com/stage.php?fullscreen=true&stage=2
Live on itv.com at 13:15. Also on eurosport later (last hour or so).
That's international, not British from about 13:15 UK time
You could have staked a large amount of cash on Urtasun being in the break after I transferred him out
That's 23 points I'll never see again
Forgot to enter a team for yesterday so today is my first stage, I've got:
Cavendish
Sabatini
Bobridge
Rowe
Jeandesboz
House
Downing
Tiernen-Locke
Howard
Today's break is ...
Handley (RAPHA), Bobridge (OGE), Hampton (RAL), Williams (NODE), Krizek (LIQ) and Urtasun (EUS)
with about 3'30"
Concussion for Farrar!!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/9532906/Mark-Cavend...
Didn't see this till after the deadline so with both House and Rowe talking themselves up for defences of their respective jerseys I now have:
Sabatini
Cavendish
Farrar
House(for Kruopis)
Basso
Bagdonas
Downing
Rowe(for Urtasun)
Forster
