    What's happens if a rider abandons and then the stage is cancelled?

    Very disappointing. Make them race.

    Do they not realise that I am on gardening leave and need to be entertained in the afternoons?

    What ?? You havn't raced in weather like that ??? :shock:
    We older geration laugh at such statements, so enjoy the joke as you go to Air Conditioned Races. You poor little darlings.
    In southern England on the last weekend in March and you couldn't see the car tyre tracks because a blizzard was blowing.
    Sure I'm Old School (amatuers) but we sorted the men from the chilren and got to the finish with cars getting into mtocycle combo's to see the rules were maintained and a result sheet completed.

    You have prepared for the race and you think for one moment that on your way out on our bikes to the event that it starts to snow that we will whimper our way back home. We came out to race and by christ we did race while others threw the towel in. At least they started in that weather before the freezing blizzard took hold. (Oh I would have had a podium if they could have found one)
    It was great in the Cafe with Mugs of Tea and a good fireside to stand by and get changed into dry warm clothes.
    Then off to a railway station to get home to hear mum telling, you are mad as she streuggles with all the dirty clothes yet again.

    Couldn't find one they were all frozen but as I said we had mugs of Tea and a large fireplace to get the blood circulation going before riding another 4 miles in the blizzard to the rail station.
    Bikes of course went in the goods security area.
    You seem to have a lot of dead horses where you live.
    Don't you play hockey in the snow these days..

    Stage 3 Withdrawals

    203 FEDRIGO Pierrick FVC DNS
    177 TEKLEHAIMANOT Daniel DDD withdrawal
    91 VICHOT Arthur FDJ withdrawal
    58 VUILLERMOZ Alexis ALM withdrawal
    3 GILBERT Philippe BMC DNS

    Stage 4
    195.5 km Julienas to Romans-sur-Isère

    A few lumps but space to get back together before end
    25641828676_e4ab28b2a9_z.jpg

    The final run in is as flat as it gets - with the last kilometre fairly straight (one easyish looking roundabout); however there is a sharp left about 1200m out that will be fought over if the sprinters and their teams have hauled themselves over the the hills

    Is Eurosport not live? That will confuse things.

    Kittel in a group over a minute behind the peleton.

    Was his early season form a fluke?

    Kristoff, Bling and the Boxer are all in the Peloton which is a few seconds behind the break... but Kittel's out the back and won't contest.
