That is a brilliant running leg from Lisa Tertsch, who surges in front of Georgia Taylor-Brown in the last 100m to move Germany into the gold medal position.

Taylor-Brown hands over to Sam Dickinson with this race in the balance.

Georgia Taylor-Brown is doing a fantastic job on this leg. It's tough to ride solo but she has done a brilliant job extending her lead. She will want to prove herself after a disappointing individual race. If she can keep her gap, Team GB have a great chance.

Georgia Taylor-Brown has a lead of around 14 seconds on the rest of the group as she smoothly transitions to the running leg.

I'm interested to see what Georgia Taylor-Brown does on the run. It's around 1.8km and the word is she has been running really, really well, so I'm very interested to see how she goes.

The overhead camera shows Georgia Taylor-Brown all on her own out in front.

Meanwhile, the chasing pack has caught up Germany's Lisa Tertsch and Italy's Alice Betto, with the group of ten riders now working together to try eat into GB's lead.

There's huge cheers from the home crowd for Emma Lombardi, who is still cut adrift at the back after that earlier crash by Pierre le Corre in the opening leg.

Remember, Great Britain's Alex Yee is looking to add to his individual gold in the men's triathlon where he came back from being 15 seconds behind to overtake New Zealand's Hayden Wilde in a dramatic finale.

I cannot believe how busy it is - people are packed in about 10 deep on the streets to watch the bikes wind past them.

It’s an absolutely beautiful setting anyway but the sun is out and Paris looks stunning.

Georgia Taylor-Brown will be really buoyed by the gap she has created on both Lisa Tertsch and Alice Betto behind her.

The strong tide of the Seine and the cobbles of the Paris streets is really testing the athletes, but Georgia Taylor-Brown is making it look easy as she begins her second lap on the bike.

There is a yawning gap before you get to Germany's Lisa Tertsch and Italy's Alice Betto, with a further gap on the rest of chasing pack.

I really think we're going to see Georgia Taylor-Brown back at her best in this race, she needed a few races in her legs. I expect to see her doing really well on the bike.

It is a splash and dash! Georgia Taylor-Brown leading them out and she does have a couple of swimmers on her feet - the gap has definitely closed.

There is not time to breathe in this mixed relay, it is fine margins. The gap that Alex Yee gave Brown is beating eaten up by the German athlete, Lisa Tertsch.

Georgia Taylor-Brown is pulling away a little bit at the front but is going to have to get on her feet to extend that.

Alex Yee's brilliant opening leg gives Georgia Taylor-Brown a decent lead as she dives into the water, but Germany's Lisa Tertsch makes an early move and is immediately on the Brit's heels as they make their way along the Seine.

Pierre Le Corre is the last to hand over after that earlier crash. There's work to do for France team-mate Emma Lombardi, who has to make up about 40 seconds on the leaders.

Brilliant from Alex Yee.

The run is his strongest discipline and he kicks clear. The men's individual champion hands over to Georgia Taylor-Brown with a comfortable lead.

Huge cheers for France’s Pierre le Corre, who has an absolute mare on the bike after a clatter with New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde. He’ll have to go for it on the run to try and make up that time - he was third at the transition from swim to bike. The French fans are roaring and stamping their feet to try and get him back into contention.

That crash from Hayden Wilde is so unlike him. Wilde is 15 seconds down on the pack, Pierre le Corre is 27 seconds back. We know how good this French team are, but 27 seconds is a monumental deficit to chase back to stand any chance of a gold medal.

It is a spectacular course, as the athletes cycle right through the middle of the city with thousands of fans lining up along the cobbled streets.

But they won't be cheering this! France's Pierre le Corre gets tangled in a collision with New Zealand's Hayden Wilde, and has to do some repairs to his bike, with the chain coming off.

It was a nasty fall and that sets them back considerably, and he's going to have to pull off something amazing in this 2km run.

But Alex Yee is going well. He's in second place as the run gets under way.

Garcia of Spain is overtaken but it's all very close, the leader keeps chopping and changing at the end of the first bike lap.

Alex Yee is in a good position, right in the mix of the front pack.

The level of co-ordination you need to do everything quickly is remarkable. The bikes are right in front of me and Alex Yee had to run, grab his bike, whack his helmet on, run with the bike, get on it, get his feet in the pedals all while keeping an eye on the field in front and behind him. I’d be in a heap.
