The interview with Bernal on the ITV4 highlights was very sad. He's in a lot of pain and not very happy.
Not at all the impression I got from a short post race interview with Dutch media, nor from his behaviour on camera during the stage. Stef Clement (ex pro now race analyst) wanted to speak to Servais Knaven (Ineos DS) about Bernal's condition but was denied contact. I would have thought they could have just confirmed any physical problems. I guess we will know for sure this afternoon.

I guess a climber and former Tour winner doesn't end up in the grupetto just because they "haven't got the legs" - it's got to be more than that. They also showed a lot of footage of him stretching out his back while riding.

Jerome Cousin out.
Could Soupe not look after his bearded brother?

I'm glad the favourites' group know how boring* they are and let the breakaway get away. Let's hope they do the same tomorrow.
*boring in the sense of hugely impressive, dominant.
