    Would love to know what happened between Gastaeur and the Irish car there. Bike was under the front of the car, but did that happen after a spill, or did it cause it?

    Dennis is wedded to the BMC now. What chance he ends up at Dimension Data for next year?

    Tomorrow, in the near misses thread...

    Actually, I picked up a car in Doncaster on Thursday. Should really have planned it to be in the area for the weekend! (To watch, not to run over someone)

    Dennis has packed. Guessing he didn't like the rain provided by the organisers and wanted to use his own rain instead.

    Martin out too.

    Yeah, that's the one thing about the Worlds. You see a star studded line up that promises so much only for many of these guys to pull out during the race.

    BTW, we'll be waiting a while for the pictures to come back. 13.15 GMT is 14.15 BST (13.15 GMT+1).

    Yeah Bennet has no support with just under 100km to go. I thought with the strength of the team even without Roche, support would be there for Bennett until the last few km.
