Ouch! Wasn't it a police officer who stepped out on a TDF finish to take a photo and got wiped out by the riders?

Blimey 1994 it was, must have been one of the first ones I watched

Any news of their condition ? And of the motorbike riders ??

 

[Buddfox]

Stable in an induced coma, according to Carlton Kirby on Twitter today (or might be road.cc or GCN)

So Uran to hold on if he doesn't lose too much time over the Zoncolan, Evans to fade and Aru and Quintana into two and three, Rolande 4th, Pozzovivo then Majka. Wot say you?

Majka to get on the podium, Quintana had better start moving up the rankings as until Sunday's stage he has seemed pretty anonymous

Yeah - the way I see it is Uran will lose 30 secs or more on each mountain finish but likely not to the same contender. I think he'll have the right level of consistency and that he'll also take time off the others on the TT. I think Evans can lose 3 or 4 mins this week to Uran.

But tomorrow is a wierd one. A 139 km stage with over 4km of climbing. People will be attacking like bonkers all day and if any GC rider hasn't managed their rest day properly (think J-Rod in the Vuelta a couple of years ago), then they're at risk of losing a couple of mins.

On a separate summarising note, to me the racing is interesting and varied rather than spectacular in a superhuman kind of way. No-one appears without weakness and nobody seems to be riding in an unbelievable way to me. A good sign for the future ?

Indeed. It's still encouraging in terms of time and performance as far as I can see.

Yes, it's how it should be.

I can't work out whether Uran is riding within himself or he's struggling in the last few km.

I'd say Majka for 2nd. I feel he might produce a good TT.

I'm still going for Evans to win

Quintana is going to shine this week, he'll win this race by a minute.
