    Yes.

    I suppose you'll tell me next that this isn't the coolest it's possible to look on a bike?
    It's pretty incredible that this photo was not taken in the 80s.

    In a manner of speaking, it was.

    If Katusha were / are chasing because Purito missed the break and / or they don't want to let the break get too far up the road, why were / are there only three of the team on the front pulling instead of the whole team? I is confused...

    It's beginning to look a little bit like katusha have been doing a Europecar.

    Tough day for some to make the cut, especially after that start.

    Groups all over the place. No clue what's what. Outstanding.

    As expected Purito going for the early KOM points, but marked by Majka. Just 25" to the break now.

    No idea where everyone is at the moment. It looks like there's about 10 groups all over the mountain.

    Ok, I think there is large breakaway group including Purito and Majka who have about 20 seconds on the yello jersey group. Then there's quite a large autobus forming already.

    Beautiful road surface. I assume the other side is freshly tarmaced as well.
