I’ve dislocated my shoulder twice and I certainly wasn’t in any condition to contend for anything the next day.
You get used to putting it back in yourself after a while and just crack on. It took a while of going to the hospital before I got to that point though (don't get me wrong I still find it bloody painful).
I lean over and let it hang, it's important to relax the muscles/ligaments (I know it's not easy), massage the muscle around the shoulder with your other arm/hand and it pops back in. Go to a Hospital if you feel numbness in the fingers though, just in case you have a trapped nerve.
I've just watched the last 10km and Hatch said it was "the most sensational stage story in recent years".
What did I miss? Was Elvis in the break? Were there dinosaurs? Did a multiverse race appear were a French rider won?
I think your big problem there is that you watched the wrong end of the stage. I'm not claiming the first 80km were definitely the most fun you can have with your clothes on, but it was pretty full on.
You've got to apply the Hatch Correction Factor (CH) too
Poor Stage = Very Good Stage Average Stage = Exceptional Stage Mildly interesting Stage = History Making Stage Good Stage = Most Sensational Stage of the decade Very good Stage = Most phenomenally epic sporting event in the history of sport, Nothing will ever come close Paris Roubaix 2016 = death by suffocation
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

The fight for the breakaway went on for ever ..but hatch hyperbole

Great ride by Fuglsang to finish at +5s after abandoning the breakaway. Put himself in a position to potentially gain time, but bailed out knowing it wasn’t going to happen and lives to fight another day

Yeah, he'd already been told he shouldn't try and lose time to stage hunt layer (I guess Israel probably need the UCI points from a mediocre gc placing) and his DS told him if the gap went under 2 mins he should drop back. Don't think Wout was all that happy about it, but they never got the reinforcements they expected, so a smart move. Bonus of being able to go for a relaxed pee as well

Did he also happen to mention an insatiable desire to want to fling yourself off stuff?
