Fractured rib and foot and side problems for Kruijswijk, I doubt he will start today.
About yesterday's stage winner's commentary I referred to earlier, I fully understand one has to stay on top of his bicycle to be in contention. And that if you descend faster, which is a skill, you get to the bottom of the next climb faster. And that racing is racing, etc.
What I find a bit striking is that Nibali seems to claim that his improved position is all his own doing (being angry and strong) and does not say a word about his opponent's crash being a bigger factor than any effort he could have put out. Anyway here's a nice pic of when it was still all good going uphill, I won't complain any more about lack of respect from the guy who is probably Italy's biggest hero after today.
