    What time are we expecting the stage finish. Abroad at the mo so trying to work out if I can catch the last 5km.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Kαλησπέρα from Lesvos and happy TDF2019 Stage One!

    I have logged on to some decent WiFi, am catching the last kms and have found a couple of absolute units for today... A Belgian Draft horse and a Belgian Blue (OK its a bull and not a cow)

    Bit of blood running down his face, plenty of team with him, but risks losing time at this point of the stage. TTT tomorrow...

    Struggling a bit and as Millar is saying it will make the TTT hard for him.

    A bit shaken up and cut around the face. Millar thinks he's not good.

    In a field sport that would be a straight HIA. But hey. They’re only riding bikes at 30mph.

    Looks like Caruso was also involved in the crash.

    Jakob's fine. He was able to stand on his pedals, both hands are OK, he didn't panic, spotted him eating as well.
