  3. 15:22 - Bodrogi has stormed home and looks to have done enough to take silver, finishing in 56:33.41 to push Clement down to second.

  4. 15:18 - Millar's time of 58:21.41 is only good enough for 11th and there are still nine riders on the course.

  7. 15:09 - Cancellara (39:56.71) has extended his lead over Clement to 22.26 seconds with 13.8km remaining.

  8. 15:07 - Wiggins (41:18) goes through the 31.1km mark in seventh place with Bodrogi in third ahead of Lang but behind Clement and Grabsch.

  9. 14:57 - Clement (40:18.97) is 20 seconds quicker than Grabsch at the 3/4 mark with Lang third at that point.

  10. 14:56 - Cancellara (27:12.31) is 19.44 seconds ahead of Clement and looking good to retain his crown.

  11. 14:55 - Laszlo Bodrogi has moved into second with David Zabriskie fourth ahead of Grabsch at the midway point. Wiggins (28:12) is only tenth, one place ahead of Millar.

  12. 14:48 - Millar seventh at the 22.2km mark, nearly 44 seconds off the pace.

  13. 14:43 - At the halfway point with 12 riders to cross it's now Clement (27:31.75) from Sebastian Lang (27:54.74) who is over five seconds faster than compatriot Grabsch (28:00.35).

  14. 14:38 - Bradley Wiggins is just eight seconds off Clement's pace at the first time check - putting him seventh as Cancellara has stormed into the lead with a time of 11:10.94.

  15. 14:32 - And now it's home favourite Grabsch into the lead - 56:53.47 at an average speed of 47.35 km/h. David Millar is only 14th at the first intermediate time check after 8.4km.

  16. 14:30 - Belohvosciks has taken second away from Helminen, finishing 17.1 seconds slower than our leader.

  17. 14:30 - Andrey Mizurov, the Astana rider from Kazakhstan, has stormed home to lead in 57:44.02 as defending champion Fabian Cancellara starts his ride. Stef Clement of the Netherlands is quickest at the first split.

  18. 14:15 - Grabsch has gone through the three quarter mark with the quickest time of 40:38.84. Nibali was second at that point with Raivis Belohvosciks, who is still on the course, third ahead of "clubhouse" leader Helminen.

  19. 14:00 - So it's Helminen from Kunitski, Nibali and Van Den Broeck with the leading 15 riders yet to start. Bert Grabsch is the quickest man on the course at the halfway point with a time of 28 minutes.

  20. 13:35 - Nibali finishes in 58.23.44 (average speed of 46.14 km/h) and fails to take the lead from Kunitski. It's Matti Helminen of Finland who takes top spot with a time of 58.13.34.

  21. 13:00 - Andrei Kunitski of Belarus takes the lead with a time of 58:19.28 but it's likely to be shortlived as Italy's Vincenzo Nibali has completed the first lap nearly 30 seconds quicker.

  22. 12:40 - The first ten riders have finished and Jurgen Van den Broeck (Belgium) has posted the fastest time of 58.44.48 followed by Australia's Ben Day and Svein Tuft of Canda comes in third. Both the Commonwealth riders posted 59.27.
