    Bashed up Bennett.
    Ineos 1 Jumbo 1

    Should be 1.5 each, Amador and Gesink have also had minor tumbles.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they neutralise the GC and let the mad sprinters go for it.

    No sign of Sivakov anywhere on the official Tour site. They say he's still riding, but not on the live data feed at all.

    Isn't it neutralised in the last km as normal?

    Belgian commentators getting a bit arsey with the *tech* of the race. Not impressed (they are also used to having a moto in the race to check things for them - not this year)

    The last 3kms, but they can extend it there's a potential problem.

    The French can't help themselves. Cosnefoy cracks open a bottle of panache.

    That's what I'm thinking. There are riders apparently 3min back, so you'd think given the go slow that he's perhaps with them.
