    Gallopin ahead by 45 secs, Kwia, Thomas and the group all together, Porte now chasing?

    Not sure the time gaps are accurate, but the gist of it yeah

    edit: no, Porte group (sans porte) is about ten -15 secs ahead of Kwia

    They replay the Porte crash quite a bit, fair play to the moto rider because he reacted quickly. He looked really quite close to Porte.

    I was wondering that. I think it used to be veloflex, not sure if it still is.

    Yup. thought that might have been from the Porte crash but his levers are fine when you watch the replay.

    Yep, having a brake leaver and hoods in the wrong place must make descending even trickier, let alone the nervousness having only just hit the deck.
