Here's the interview from itv:

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.

Thanks. Indeed, it was strange to see him riding in the sprinters' bus. Won't expect to see him out front on the Col de la Loze then...

I don't really understand why he's still in the race. Are they expecting it to get better during the remaining stages so he can go stage-hunting? I mean, it surely can't be a bluff designed to make them let him go were he to attack.

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.
