    I'd forgotten what a stream of verbal diarrhoea sounds like.

    ITV 4, S4c, Kirby is my order of viewing.
    So far I have avoided the diarrhoea altogether

    It's good when the sprinters share out the wins

    Is Orla's pronunciation of Groenewegen authentic native Dutch or completely insane?

    We need post race analysis to really create a decent disagreement about what happened there

    Would you consider that to be a normal reaction after losing a sprint?

    ITV seem to think there was some issue between the two earlier in the sprint.
    Even the controversies are pretty dull, so far.

    ITV also spotted that Pogacar was the very last man to avoid the crash and had to unclip.
    Lucky boy.

    Grownwagon never mentions it directly but fair play to saying his family got him out that void

    Notable names losing 39 seconds due to the crash: Uran, Mollema, Sanchez, Haig, Meintjes, Froome, Martin, Woods, Bennett, Pinot

    And Majka 3.27

    It's notable that Pogacar has had narrow escapes for both crashes.

    Hey, I wasn't being sarcastic, it was a genuine question.

    To me, sprinters usually display one of two emotions after narrowly losing:
    1) Frustration, often expressed by banging the handlebars etc.
    2) Blame, usually by pointing the figure at the perceived offending rider.

    I must be honest, initial I thought Sagan was having a go at WVA, because despite the old head against the body technique, he couldn't lever sufficient room on the barriers to get past.

    It was ITV who claimed there had been an earlier coming together between Sagan and Groenewegen.

    Also Caruso, Latour and Izagirre.

    Mr Kirby will need to lie down in a darkened room: Simon Clarke was last man home, 5'-46".
    Maybe he could start touting him for out Lantern Rouge thread?

    Didn't hear it but I'm guessing she knows how to pronounce Dutch names. Rick will no doubt let us know.

    It's been great to see the enthusiasm of Danes for the Grand Depart, but for action and parcours, this tour can get to France as far as I'm concerned.

    Notable losing time? 🤔
    I suppose you could say the same for others in that list.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    You may well be right ... Yeah I thought Sagan was pointing to WvA too at first
