Was watching the stage in the pub, without the sound on and didn't realise that Roglič, Yates, et al were timed with a lap of the circuit to go - was that to avoid mayhem and crashes?

They may as well just done a 10km stage with just the sprinters and a couple of lead-out men!
It's been a real bore fest so far, tomorrows stage looks more exciting (but not holding my breath)

Nice of Jan Bakelants to offer the motorcycle crew some Gold Blend after he washed them by sluicing a puddle. At least, I think that was what the hand signal was(!)

Although I could listen to Kelly all day...we also had the interesting shots of rain jackets going on and off.
I particularly liked when Hatch was trying.to drag out conversation about Kellys past wins,asked about why he pulled out of a certain race with pain.Kelly replied "yes I had a boil on me erse ! "

Recorded highlights were made for stages like that! I watched the Quest highlights show in about 20 minutes by skipping the ads and shots of miserable riders wishing that they had stayed in bed. I just watched the interviews, chat and last 1 km.
I hope that the weather improves and am looking forward to more interesting stages to come.

Roglic has wiped his bottom on the tarmac by the looks of it:

No De Gendt in it but they're keeping us guessing about the breakaway today, 13 riders 5½min up the road with 55km to go. The final cat 2 climb will decide the shape of the stage.
Ackerman, Landa, Zakanarin and Majka also involved in Roglic's trip to the tarmac. All less hurt visibly and all in the peloton. Sun web's Robert Power abandoned from it, though. Not a good race for that team so far, even if Oomen is in today's break.
