    If you wondered why there are so many riders well down...there was a huge crash on stage 1a.

    That looks like Kiriyenka. Look at the guy in the left who ends up in the ditch

    AG2R I thought... wasn't it Blel Kadri that wasn't looking as Kiri swerved?

    Whoever it is they're equally to blame.

    You look behind you before you swerve. Standard.

    On your previous posts I'm not inclined to believe you have the slightest idea 'what you do' in a bike race, so please excuse me if I don't pay your posts too much attention.

    Schleck out after the crash as well as Kadri, with a broken rib and Kenny Van Bilsen (Cofidis)with a broken wrist.
    Louis Vervaeke (Lotto – Soudal) suffered a concussion, don't know if he's out.

    Global warming could, potentially, get rid of this sport.. Just saying.

    It's finally on, but given the weather up ahead, it could soon be off again.

    Wait for it wait for it, Basso 2nd in line. Pain face to ensue and some serious gaps when he turns up the gas.

    Froome doesnt look comfortable but he never did in Vuelta 2014 and always managed to put in the killer attacks.
