    Sad if he is out

    Cav lost his train again, for the very last time 😢

    Girmay rides in, looks a touch sore on his right shoulder

    Girmay looking dejected rather than hurt

    Bauhaus made contact with a UNO X rider, but from the overhead, Philipsen didn’t impede anyone.

    Girmay not looking too bad, a bit of skin loss but doesn't seem to be holding anything to suggest a more serious issue.

    Pogacar ambling over the line 23 seconds down as though he'd been held up, but he certainly wasn't held up by the Girmay crash. Was there another incident or have I missed a change in the 3k rule where the same times are given in any event?

    He didn't amble, he threw is bike in the "sprint". 🤣

    I thought it was funny anyway...

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Pog came in 31 seconds behind according to PCS but JV came in 57 seconds down.

    Pog's lead currently reported as 3mins 34 seconds.

    Huh? I must of missed something

    VIngegaard and Evenepoel were even further back. Procyclingstats are showing the results with the time gaps of each group, so Pogacar has gained another 26 seconds. I imagine they'll change once the race jury have reviewed things as I imagine a lot of riders were impeded by the crash that brought Girmay and others down.

    Pretty sure that time difference between Pog and Jonas will be revised when they go over the footage


    Meanwhile, the stage was so boring the French prime minister and entire government resigned in protest

    Thanks. But from the replay I saw, virtually nobody was impeded save for those that fell.

    Pogacar definitely delayed by it.

    Bol looked like he was coming into that roundabout a bit hot on the inside of the bend, that could be why Cav found himself so far back.

    111 riders now given the same time, including Pog and Jonas

    They resigned again? How many times does that make it this week now?

    Race jury has agreed that all were impeded. Times adjusted

    This is a tough tour for sprinters to survive...shows how much better they are now
