    I think Contador was considering climbing off then. Looks more focussed now.
    Machado reported as back upright and riding...

    That's possibly two out of the top 10 of GC today. Machado and now Bert.

    Suggestion from Kirby that the peloton are on a go slow to help Contador back in. Good news for the break?

    Astana should be drilling it right now.

    To be fair, they really should.

    Nibali too classy. Also he was robbed of competition in the 2013 Giro. Would be truly cursed if he loses both Froome and Contador this year.

    Contador suffered a 'frame failure' apparently. Look away now Spesh...

    This is not a drill. I am not ok.

    Ha. Well done that man!

    Kwiatkowski could make time up in the break now.

    I follow this really closely as cant get sound on my feed, so helps add some commentary. I really appreciate the running commentary

    Kwiatkowski provides the perfect excuse for Astana to be hammering it.

    Not his biggest fan but it would be really bad for the race if Contador loses a stack of time. Team mates took a long time no?

    Bad news for Gallopin's jersey. Who's going to take it?

    Ok, AC is 3 mins behind the yellow, and it's relatively early, so it looks like he should likely get back at the moment, he's going well.

    Surprised Movistar aren't drilling it. Vino's on the phone no-doubt.

    AC looking good at the moment. Reminds me of Dauphine attack. He does throw the bike around quite a bit

    How did Contador damage right knee and left hip in same crash?

    If AC is ok then he should be able to close no problem, it's early and the pace is not hard at the moment.
