    Rapp continues to lead at 50 km's with Ambrose riding 8 seconds back. Limkemann is third +3:07, Fleischmann +4:20 and Sanders still riding in fifth just over five minutes off the pace. You have to wonder when Sanders will start to make a big push forward.

    We are watching Sanders dealing with a flat rear tire at 109 km on the course on our live video feed.
    This flat has cost Sanders over 5 minutes now (and counting) and is now struggling with a jammed chain.
