    Plus, as in 2014, I will sit back smugly if Froome falls off on the cobbles.

    He must have. All those people who spent the next 2 years telling us he can't ride in the cobbles citing his 3 crashes on the cobbled stage of 2014 cant be wrong.
    The next year when the went over lesser cobbles, but cobbles all the same, a group of eight broke off the front on the last sector - Stybar, van Avermaet, Degenkolb, Thomas, van Garderen, Valverde, Nibali and Froome. They couldn't get organised though and Sagan, riding for Contador, brought them back

    He's number 13. Did he remember to turn it upside down?

    He did. Not much help, though. Hopefully he will pull through. Getting blood in your eyes can cause a bit of panic.

    Good tractor shot there. An upside down T F made of tractors.

    That head unit/Garmin on the front of the Direct Energie bike in the breakaway is flapping around all over the place. Poor piece of design I think.

    You'd think Watchfinder could afford to make a different advert since last year.

    Kevin Ledanois takes the points on the cat 4 climb, and will be in polkadots tomorrow.

    I'm claiming this one for Denmark.

    You'd think they could have borrowed a less turd bike to go with the £3k watch the guy is wearing.

    Sky rider just went down - very dodgy bit of road furniture/narrowing of the road there.

    That was a daft bit of road to take them through with 8k to go.

    Well we can see where Nairo sits in the Movistar hierarchy.
