Then got mown down by Mikel Nieve.

Is Remco’s poor descending since his crash? Has it been noted before?

The schadenfreude about Remco is so depressing.

One of the Bike Exchange l riders then crashed into him when he was on the deck. On top of their car hitting Serry, it’s starting to look like a vendetta.

Did Evenepoel get hit by another rider yesterday? Possibly from Bike Exchange?

Surprised no-one has mentioned it here.

Shame, Almeida could have done much better had he not lost time in the grav grav stage to wait for weeping Remco

Same on Zoncolan.
I wonder how much Almeida knew…

If this forum didn’t constantly go round in circles, you’d miss it.

Why is Sagan trying to let the break go? Does he think Bora can bring it back over the last few lumps?

Maybe to nullify it?

Hhe's trying to nullify the chase. Perhaps he's scared that Cimolai will beat him and then he'll lose the points jersey if it comes to a classic bunch sprint?

Yeah sorry meant it nullified the stage.
If it’s not competing for the top points.

Well it should create an interesting last 40km anyway!

15km

Is it 15km to go yet?

What’s Bernal up to? Can’t watch today.

Not quite

He's busy thinking of what he's going to order at the café stop, I'd imagine. Flat white and a flapjack, I reckon.

Don’t let Remco see the flappy J!

Almeida lost time at the start which then made Remco the sole leader. If that didn't happen then Almeida wouldn't have had to have waited loosing Masnada wouldn't have helped either.

This was a reply to someone before but I went for lunch and forgot to post.

Evenepoel's elbow looked pretty lumpy after his crash. Wouldn't fancy going into a TT position on that.
Could have been a lot worse though, I remember watching Chloe Dygert practically slicing her leg in half.

Ganna giving musette goodies to Bernal and ... er ... Sabatini. “mangiare, mangiare” lol.

Are Cofidis suffering budget constraints again?

Lovely to see my hometown of Piacenza shown off just then with a few helicopter shots of its landmarks 🙂

The close up shot of Bettiol drafting 2 inches from the back of the Androni car has however given me slightly sweaty palms..! 😬

this is me
