Gate 4 Information

It's 4:23pm in Aachen. The leaders will soon be in to gate 5 - just 13km to go after a 40min hold. It will be a horse race to the end unless something happens up front. And the Team situation is still VERY tight. Belgium was pushing for the gold - only 3 team members still riding on loop 4 - all three are in the top 10!! no holds barred - two pulled - but they were pushed hard by Australian and New Zealand - another goForBroke effort!


But at Gate 4 everything changed! Those teams with 4 riders - filled in as pulls took their toll. Portugal, Switzerland, and France move up! with 40km left to go - it's an open field.


The video stream is picking up live - likely will follow through from gate 5 on in. The last bit of the race is around the track in the stadium -- we'll see.

check the stats - very interesting:)
