Thomas caught up in the crash, hopefully he is okay. Per the highlights a Sky rider was riding away from it looking okay

A good race and for Cav to take the win and the yellow jersey made me jump up and cheer. As others have said I hope that the crashers are not seriously injured.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for all you nationalistic brit watchers, an excellent start for Dan McLay, finishing in the top 10.

Of course my wife decided she wanted a lift somewhere with 16km to go so I recorded the finish and have just been catching up... Cracking sprint, so pleased for Cav. Yes, I was also shouting at the telly. Great result for Mclay too.
And then saw one of my clubmates doing a Voeckler* behind Peta Cav during her post race interview.
*getting TV coverage for the jersey but not actually achieving anything. (Thanet RC, in case you're wondering.)

Kittel on twittel:
"No hard feelings with this 2nd place. Was early in the wind & Cav came fast from the back. Congrats @MarkCavendish!"

Nice.

It would depend on the circumstances. If the race was really on they wouldn't have waited, witness Nibali recently in the Giro when Kruisjwick crashed on the descent, so there isn't one rule fits all.

Cancellara made his way to the front and told them to ease off.
It's stage one, bugger all to be gained really other than draw "bad publicity" as nobbers will bleat on about it being "bad form". I'm all for them taking advantage of any situation and misfortune.

I do like Kittel. I was in Paris when he beat Cav on the Champs-Élysées and although I was gutted for Mark, Marcel's sheer joy at winning was infectious. His team mates dropped their "how much?" bikes to the ground as though they were BMXs and nearly smothered him with hugs right in front of us. I decided that if Cav was going to "lose", he'd lost to the right bloke.
