No proof of this, but wouldn't you imagine that the majority of drivers have ridden pushbikes at some point in their lives, even if only as kids?

Thanks for the updates Simon - I was semi-following the ticker as well. Loving the google translations, especially with my purist pick Marque in the break riding for that renowned team "Fifth of Sandpaper".
They seem to be reporting Bos, Nizzolo, Sancho, Herrada, Boeckmans but its early days - have you seen Cav reported as winner elsewhere?
OPQS seemed to think he'd won. Don't know where they got the idea.
Bos Bossed it
Either Cavendish or Bos win - depends who you believe.
only 6 left in front. 11km to go and the gap is 34"
2nd sprint :-
1. Omar Fraile (Caja Rural)
2. Hugo Sabido (LA-Alumínios Antarte)
3. Manuele Boaro (Saxo-Tinkoff)
At 114km, OPQS driving the chase - down to 5'30"
At the top (km 81), the gap was 8'. At 105km now down to 6'30".
2nd Mountain :-
1. Alejandro Marque (Carmim-Tavira)
2. Manuele Boaro (Saxo-Tinkoff)
3. Ricardo Garcia (Euskaltel-Euskadi)
4. Bertjan Lindeman (Vacansoleil-DCM)
5. Omar Fraile (Caja Rural)
Gah! Traded out Lindeman yesterday!
1st mountain :-
1.Manuele Boaro (TST)
2.Bertjan Lindeman (VCD)
3.Ricardo Garcia (EUS)
1st sprint :-
1.Hugo Sabido (LAA)
2.Bertjan Lindeman (VCD)
3.Dmitry Kozontchuk (KAS)
Lindeman 2nd and Garcia 3rd on the mountain
Sprint 1 was won by Sabido, Lindeman 2nd and Kozontchuk 3rd
Seems to be some problems with the race radios due to the mountains
The gap is about 5 minutes
I think Boaro topped the cat 3 first
After 37 km ten in the break :-
Dmitry Kozontchuk (Katusha), Sep Vanmarcke (Blanco), Ricardo Garcia (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Manuele Boaro (Saxo-Tinkoff), Bertjan Lindeman (Vacansoleil-DCM), Omar Fraile (Caja Rural), Dalivier Ospina (Colombia), Thomas Metcalfe (Carmine-Tavira), Hugo Sabido (LA-Alumínios Antarte) and Alejandro Marque (OFM-Quinta da Lixa).
