Hats off to Higuita mixing it with the big lads in the cross winds. I don’t think he even had a teammate in that front group.

If he keeps on going how he is there it a pretty good chance he could win i think.

A lot will depend on how he time trials tomorrow. And there’s another day of crosswinds to come. Plus - nobody knows when they’ll be racing next so everyone seems to be going balls out to make it particularly hard.

You need to be good and avoid any of the bad luck that befell Alaphilippe and Quintana yesterday.

Yeah. Exactly what I have been thinking. This might be their only chance to do cool stuff on tv for a while.
I went from being sooo bumped out about races being cancelled to being glued to the telly for these stages. Amazing racing so far.

I cant find the results but didn't he do ok at the Colombia Nat Champs TT?

He doesn’t appear to have ridden it. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/nc-colombia-itt/2020

Does anyone know which Assos jacket the NTT guys are wearing, black with contrast stripe down the centre of the back?

Ag2R rider properly got plonked in a ditch when caught up in that crash... shitemare.

ouch.. Another crash. Coquard looks fucked.

Sagan looking purposeful...

hope Bennet's ok... looks like wrecked his hand in that fall

The way Bennett was holding his wrist looked bad. Scaphoid?

Great luft game from Cortina in the interview.

Well deserved win for García Cortina. He’s been ever present so far in the race.

CN reporting just stitches required for a cut. No fractures.

Saw the Bennett shoulder barge, bit much.
Bet he felt like a dick after.

Happy for him to do what he wants to another sprinter, but you don’t do that to sweet little Nairo.

Would he have been DQd if he’d won the stage?

He should! His twitter is private and he's not allowing comments on his instagram. I'm looking forward to seeing the apology/explanation

LOL

One way to deal with it!

All Flemish races until 31 march are cancelled. No Nokere Koerse, Bredene Koksijde Classic, Driedaagse Brugge-De Panne, de E3 BinckBank Classic and Gent-Wevelgem.

Michael Woods has crashed, looks bad :(

Ooooft. That’s a huge blow.

Maybe Eurosport could go and cover done 2/3/4 British road races instead.

Tratnik deserves to take this. Fuckin' nails.

Bonifazio. Heartbreak for Tratnik. 10m before the fucking line.

What a shame. Bad luck lad.
