That's missing a few of his classics.....

"Last number of days"
"Group of big favourites"
"Certaintly"

..and "playing the waiting game"

I've largely missed the race so far but from catching up as much as I can it seems that there have been some inferior sprints without enough serious protagonists. And the race is a slow-burner so far.
Is that unfair?

Nope.

Weather has played a part in that though.

Weather I'm right or not?

I think everyone is underestimating Uran this year...

I think many are overestimating him

Garmin should perhaps consider putting some supportive side-wheels on Farrar's bike. You know those wheels when you take a turn that touch the ground:

Michael Matthews won't start today feeling (still) too much pain from his fall on stage 9.
Not that he is injured very bad, but the team prefers him to recover.
(Nevertheless pretty impressive that he then still was able to take 3rd place yesterday)

A bit of a shame that the remaining sprints will be contested without him (and Kittel of course).
Then again, there's probably only 2 stages with a sprint coming up

Well done to Matthews, he looked impressive in pink and did the jersey proud even after losing it.

What is wrong with Tyler Farrar? Once again it looked as if he meant to go down it was such a crazy way to fall. He certainly needs lessons on how to keep upright.

Maybe someone should tell him about those Transition prescription glasses....

Rogers. So much for a breakaway. Rode like he was never away.

And at least the win was all about experience and tactics, not some ludicrous ride that would have had people shaking their heads.

I'm not the only one then...I've had a few bits to take care of...buying a new house, moving in, new job, two kids, no internet until today; that sort of thing. The last stage I saw was narrowly lost by Rolland of Europcar. Glad to hear that Uran is doing well if that is the case.

Not a good race I hear?
