Ouch, that looks like Valverde outWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

That looked really bad - slid into the barriers with the feet of the barriers ramming straight into his chest/abdomen.0

Nobbers pulling on Valverde's limbs, literally dragging him of the road while he's laying there badly injured.

Roglic on course - any seen any times?0

Fell asleep on page 5, woke to see Señor Hairplugs crash, missed the French exchange student and G smashing it, but I get the impression everyone missed G smash it. As with Kiry, fitting for a domestique to wear the yellow jumper.0

Lick your lips Froome; now's the chance to mentally crush him. You and 4 teammates on a faster time.0

Porte barely beating bardet. Poor.
Fwiw, porte and valverde were spearheadngy my fantasy team.Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy0 -

Porte looked like survival was very much the aim of today. Not necessarily a bad one, either.
Sky having so many riders up the ranking sends a message, but Porte himself can rationalise whatever happens with Froome as Porte having taken it conservatively rather than Froome being any better.0 -
why no crash barriers on those dangerous corners.Utterly ridiculous.0

Meanwhile Fabio Aru prepares to start:
