Thomas has abandoned apparently.

Was lying third at carrefour with one section to go ! Looked ok

Nasty :(

Missed a couple of the big crashes on pee breaks and making a bacon sarnie. Still seems pretty relaxed with 121.9km to go.

I think I just saw Stannard the first time this year! Call off the search party

Nah that was just an interview. Must be from last year.

Ha - he was on the front briefly.

France 3 put up video of him still getting CPR 30 mins after the crash

Watching an Australian feed and Phil Liggett is commentating... Huh.

Is this confirmed?

If you had told me in 2015 that Degenkolb and Kristoff would not have won another monument by now, I would have thought you were mad.

I used to dislike Degenkolb, but I really want him to have some good luck.

Yes, Sky’s own Twitter feed.

Went down in sector 1 crash, chased a bit then climbed off

Very small peloton already.

Marc Soler is an incredibly talented bike rider.

Just switched on.

Looks like a beautiful day.

Rumours abound that it was Goolaerts on the floor earlier, suspected cardiac arrest and defibrillator used.

Apparently just confirmed on Eurosport and also here:

:(

"That famous level crossing from previously... no such level crossing problems today, the French are on strike" (or words to that effect). Brilliant.

Phil pre-empting the long-range Terpstra move... and Styby.

Yep, just tuned in, and it’s great to see him mixing it up here.

Edit: awful news about Michael Goolaerts.

Carrefour right now

Now remember why I paid for Eurosport. Streaming's a mug's game...

Best 99p I spent at xmas. Or was it £1.99?
