Just read that G has a ride in the TT tomorrow. Did not have to go to hospital after his crash despite reports that he did. Good news.

Good news and great he has a TT ride. Though doesn't it cover the same ground as the road race? Not sure how they'll all feel about going down that descent again

Sorry not the second loop with the big climbs/descents, but the first one, the Grumari loop. Once for the women and twice for the men I didn't see that section at the weekend but they're not as brutal as the Vista Chinese cyclingweekly.co.uk |

So the TT route goes over the cobbles then?

I think I remember them explaining during commentary on Saturday the strange situation where half the cobbled road had been tarmacked over but the road race wasn't using that half of the road, that the tarmac was for the time trial. So I don't think the TT uses the cobbles.

I believe they can choose to use the cobbles, in that the whole road is available (fences that kept them on them in the RR have been removed), but there is a strip of tarmac layed over them that you'd expect all to ride.
