That front group still gaining time on the ‘Wurf train’

Pleased to see laidlow going well. Hopefully isn’t killing himself to keep position 
.
Looks like a Kat/Ryf run race in the women’s, barring any mechanicals/disasters.
ETA …looks like Ryf put the hammer down on that last climb 
Of the front group I’m not sure how many can run well enough, I’m thinking Baekkegard. Maybe Currie? But Blu and someone else in that group could be running into the podium. Not sure what’s happening with Nilssen though.
TvR up to 26th at 25.2 miles

Commentators said earlier (not verbatim!)
if you’re thinking they’re a bit close, they’re not. It’s the camera angles. This is a World Championship, which has World Championship officiating from World Championship referees at this World Championship. Sponsored by FulGaz, which is what these athletes will be doing at this World Championship.

Sanders has made up 5 places.

I was looking at the tracker - I may be wrong but - iirc a 3s gap at pro paces is about 12m, they were showing 2-3s. With camera angles I’ve noticed that as soon as a camera shot of any angle is looking like the bikes are close they sweep away quickly…but the drone shots are looking more like 10m to me…
EDIT
I may be talking shit. Just googled some stuff: 2s at 30kph is 16m.

Too early to engage with this properly, needs beer to get through 8hrs of screeching Americans. Bike course is fantastic though, Going to make the run an unknown unlike usual.

I wonder if the guys who are known as being stronger cyists will gain time on the climbs?
Man I forgot how bad the whole product placement every 2 secs was! 
You would think so. Or it may come out a little later when the weaker ones have had to go deeper, so it bites back in the run.

Any news on the 
? Can’t pick him up on the tracker
12th at 115km time check.
6.17 back. Bit of a gap between him and the rider in front. 20 secs
About a minute behind the Wurf train. Seems he had a bad opening to the bike leg, and lost a lot, but appears to have recovered somewhat, as he’s cut that gap to Wurf from 90s at the previous time check
It’s ‘cos he’s chosen the wrong bike.
He’s on the non-CFR, not top-of-the-range model.
So he’s come into transition to rack, seen everyone else’s peng bike tings and gone “Uh-oh”

Just that one little snippet of real time chat with the athletes (Lionel) was really good. If they could factor that in somehow, it would dramatically add to the interest over 8hrs,especially on the bike
