    Ganna inflicting pain, towing the whole peloton up the mountain. Gap down to 2'24" already

    Bike Exchange car rides straight into the back wheel of one of their riders. Doesn't look too badly hurt luckily.

    WTAF was that? He literally ran right into him on a straight road!

    He must get chucked from the race for that, surely?

    They were doing something handing stuff to the race organisers car, obviously not paying attention

    That driver will be getting a red card.
    Ridiculous.

    Lucky for DQS it was Serry rather then Remco. Shocker of a piece of driving.

    Peter Serry slowed a lot. Bike Exchange car was alongside another car (race car) and they were handing something between the windows and the Bike Exchange car hit the back of the QS rider.

    Very lucky that was no worse. Driver not looking where they are going, just rear ended Serry.

    Bike Exchange driver has to be off the race tonight.
    And if I was him I'd never show my face at a race again.

    I've always felt the cars should have a designated driver, the driver is usually doing several other things and it surprises me we don't get more of that sort of thing.

    Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as Ganna retires for the day.

    Leaders still over 2 minutes - only lost 30 seconds in the first 5km of the climb.

    If anyone significant gets in trouble, that gap drops like a stone.

    Ganna parks up, lightweight.

    The good news is he's now overhauled Ganna. The bad news is that's because Ganna had completely emptied the tank and was basically doing a trackstand a few hundred metres behind the main group.

    And it wasn't the driver doing the exchange with the race director car because the driver is on the left. So he has no excuse
