    On the front side of the left thigh and apparently painful – sounds like bacteria got into a crash wound.

    There’s surely going to be a lot of riders missing the time cut today?

    The fastest predicted schedule for today is 33kph, the slowest is just 25kph.
    If that was the winning speed, how many kph would the bus manage?

    I will be surprised if there are more than a dozen riders left after the Aspin.

    Half way up.
    Movistar have reduced the peloton to about 30 riders.
    AvV thinking about an attack?

    Not sure why Niewiadoma has gone to the front, I'd definitely have sat on here if I was in her cleats
