    WvA trying to push this on, but I can't see them letting him go, surely?

    He might know he won't hack it later, so is taking advantage of his current position and causing problems for UAE.

    Colbrelli and the Mattews take the points. No Sagan.

    Can't imagine how the driver thought it would go up that road.

    Goes to show how hard it is to understand race radios though. Someone says "we need to get it back out" and ISUN send an osteopath up the road...

    Not to mention shouldn't the road have been closed to traffic?

    Is Roglic going to climb off or go back to join Thomas and Cav?

    It's just become a more immediate problem.

    The truck is stuck on the Côte de Mont Saxonnex, and not on the Col de la Grand Colombière. The Côte road turns off to the south about 5 kms west of the Romme (3kms west of the very foot of the Colombiere)
