Looking not good for cavendish or bradley in road race.

Half asleep was great britain to allow good number to break with number nations in it.

now gap 4 mins with only great britian chasing looks like even this early stage it wont come back.

Great britain needs help why should those with one in the break help why should those who aint got chance against the manx misile.

Only one team possible might help is germany for griple even he might struggle to take cav on.

Edit just got final info only Great britain, france and germany missed the break of 12 riders.

With this gap little help from peleton great britian will struggle to bridge this one
