Crash ...Roglic down, Lopez down , Tony Martin down and staying down

 

[roadrash]

Movistar immediately hit the front hammering it, all those caught in the crash fighting to get back on wont be impressed

 

[roadrash]

slowed down now after a discussion between several team managers and D.S

jumbo visma tweeted tony martin is out of the race

 

[roadrash]

Ha Ha not sure who but an astana rider having words with Valverde about the pace suddenly decides to snot rocket in valverdes direction

Movistar are a peculiar bunch, that is for sure

Braddley wiggins defending Valverde , saying he wouldn't have known Roglic was down,..... bolox it doesn't take 15km of riding before Valpiti found out , every one else seemed to know and immediately got on his case

don't think anybody can work out their tactics, I think Valverde is a slimey fecker.

slimey fecker - yes, but also makes it entertaining to watch, even if it is just to see what machinations he gets up to next

Cavagna wins from the breakaway. I remember him from teetering down a hill to a win in the T of Cal.
Sam Bennet did well to get a 2nd place on that hill.

Surprise surprise David Millar (spit) thought Movistar were right to attack.

Only just watched today's stage,had to suffer itv highlights as Millar is starting to grind on me !
Nice to see Froome speaking at the start of the stage,looking positive which is a good sign.
As for the stage today Lopez summed it up at the end.Said Valverde knew they'd gone down and said come on let's race,a few protested but Movistar still tried He said he expected better of the world champion.
But all came good for Roglic who really has rode a classy race.How many times has he been down...3 ?

There's a school of thought that thinks it's all part of racing and tough shoot if you crash.
I'm ambivalent
