To be fair they often don't realise whats happening when its on tv in front of them so its a bit harsh for us to expect them to tell us whats going on elsewhere.

With 50km left I can't see it being to useful to stay up in the break for Sagan.

Looking at the schedule, they seem to be at a roughly 43 km/h pace, which is still on the list

They've given him 45 seconds and its only going to get harder to chase it down.

Especially since Sky, Katusha and UAE are all not going to chase.

He's only got a couple of tired guys with him that have been out front all day though. It's gonna be tough to stretch the lead out enough that they're not going to get caught. It's going to make the race really interesting though.

Yeah but its so big guys have to make a huge effort to chase him down now, which is what Terpstra is doing. And these guys will always work slightly less due to dragging other people with them. I think he'll get caught but its still stupid to do.

Doesn't look like Gilbert will be able to take many useful turns in that chasing group. good thing he went solo 90 km out

Yeah Sagan is going to benefit from the fact that the peloton was blown apart so many times by crashes.
