"How are you?"
"Tired"
"Yeh, me too"
"What about those fools yesterday, eh?"
"I know, time limits. Hahahahaha..."

The first 13 riders in today's stage were all too fatigued yesterday to make an effort...
Chaves wins! Well, he was 14th and finished in time yesterday.

Yeah, only a podium finish after allegedly being ill too.
Valid but for someone that was a pre race favourite he arguably didn't hit a peak of form in France, which can be giving him the edge now.

Change the rule. The combination of short mountain-dense stages and a time limit based on percentages means the time cut is unrealistically tight. The non climbers lose more time on climbing miles and the current stage weighting doesn't allow enough for that.
What about Sky's DS accusing Tinkoff and Movistar of exploiting a crash yesterday to cause the break and Tinkoff's DS accusing Sky of having paid Astana to help chase?
