Think it's on the red button from 12.15. Before then there is text coverage on the BBC and twitter feeds (The CI one should be up to date on the Irish guys - they were in the womens race yesterday)

EDIT - it's 12.30 for the BBC Red Button coverage

Darkglasses · 29-09-2013 08:47AM

Riders and bib numbers

Good preview here

Peter Sagan to win for me. Dan Martin on the podium.

Inquitus · 29-09-2013 08:50AM

Weather forecast is quite poor. Thunder showers 95% chance of heavy rain at times.

morana · 29-09-2013 08:57AM

its heavy rain on the run into the circuit but seems to be stopped on the circuit

Darkglasses · 29-09-2013 08:57AM

Looks pretty wet out there already.

Yonder Godoy (Venezuela), Matthias Brandle (Austria), Jan Barta (Czech Republic), Bartosz Huzarski (Poland) and Rafaa Chtioui (Tunisia) in the break. Gap of almost 5 minutes presently. Team GB pacing the peloton.

Darkglasses · 29-09-2013 08:58AM

Another group of 5 trying to bridge across to the breakaway. Rain macs everywhere so hard to make out the numbers, but definitely one Slovakian rider.

There's live coverage right now on the UCI YouTube channel.
Looks dirty and wet

It's Anthony McCrossan and Adam Blythe.

morana · 29-09-2013 09:20AM

lots of segnale interrotto on rai so you might not see a lot..

Darkglasses · 29-09-2013 09:26AM

We have our first man down. Kanstantsin Siutsou, he's up and walking. No team-mates to pace him back up, being the only Belarus rider.

222km to go, gap to the breakaway is over 7 minutes.

bazermc · 29-09-2013 09:32AM

YouTube Says not available in my country. Ireland.

How are others getting it to work?

Glass Prison 1214 · 29-09-2013 09:36AM

Anyone think John Degenkolb has an outside chance? he is a decent classic rider who can climb and sprint.

It also didn't work for me when I was Irish, British, or from the U.S.
Now that I'm Italian, it's coming through fine.

Damm Mcquaid has to be his fault, blocking the Irish.

Rovi · 29-09-2013 09:43AM

Cav seems to be doing a lot of work at the front of the peloton.

Carpenter · 29-09-2013 09:55AM

WHF can I not get this working on YouTube

Those who can see it seem to be viewing via overseas internet connections

There are no broadcasting rights in Ireland. Don't know on what basis they are distributed. Maybe someone has to pay a licence fee to the UCI? If so perhaps CI thought there were better things it could do with its limited resources

This.

I can't give specific details without falling foul of the site rules, but, as far as most of the internet is concerned, I'm currently in Italy

Inquitus · 29-09-2013 10:15AM

Is it against site rules <Snip> yes - it's against site rules to provide information on how to circumvent copyright laws

dastardly00 · 29-09-2013 10:19AM

Jesus the weather is absolutely mank....... Wiggo could be in trouble on the descents! :pac:

Rovi · 29-09-2013 10:33AM

The weather's getting worse and worse

Carpenter · 29-09-2013 10:37AM

I like pizza:D

Broadcasting rights must have been granted during McQuaid's tenure - the weather's Cookson's responsibility though :pac:

Rovi · 29-09-2013 10:51AM

And they're on the climb.

This'll be interesting in these weather conditions, and the descent will be spooky!

Rovi · 29-09-2013 10:55AM

Some big names in a group dropping off the back of the peloton: Wiggins, Voeckler, Porte...

That split happened on the first descent I think. No radios in the worlds so team gb wouldn't have known wiggo was off the back before it was too late.

Carpenter · 29-09-2013 11:01AM

Our boys look like they are in a safe place atm

Beasty · 29-09-2013 11:03AM

Boardman says on BBC that Race Radio is reporting the Team GB car has been called to the back of the peloton - perhaps a problem for Wiggins?

They are also reporting Contador fell but was back up quickly

Pudsy33 · 29-09-2013 11:22AM

Martin mixing it up with the Italians in the peleton. No sign of the others in the front group

pelevin · 29-09-2013 11:25AM

Are we allowed give any general, lests say non-specific, advice to anyone looking to see the race? I'm currently watching it so just looking to give someone a hand.

Rovi · 29-09-2013 11:26AM

It's available on the BBC Red Button now!

Henlars67 · 29-09-2013 11:31AM

3 Irish riders out. Only Martin left. Anyone know what happened?

neris · 29-09-2013 11:32AM

Is it online or youtube? Cant find anything and cant get on uci website

Obviously not. I had a post deleted for mentioning the internet browser I use.

I understand why the rules are there, but surely mentioning your internet browser isn't a breach of them.

Pudsy33 · 29-09-2013 11:33AM

Irish cycling Twitter confirmed it

Inquitus · 29-09-2013 11:33AM

Martin crests the climb in 34th with the main peleton.

BBC Red Button is the only current option in Ireland (will be on BBC 2 and BBC 1 later)

Beasty · 29-09-2013 11:35AM

Quarter of the field abandoned already, including Wiggins

Roche is 3 mins down of pelton of 85 riders.

Rovi · 29-09-2013 11:37AM

I'd say Cav dropping out was probably in 'The Plan', he did a huge pull at the front for the first part of the race.

godtabh · 29-09-2013 11:42AM

Glass Prison 1214 · 29-09-2013 11:42AM

I think Dan Martin just crashed.
