They've jumped to a segment on Nibili, but said they will be back to the race once they get out of the neutral zone (is that the correct term, or have I slipped back into Star Trek?)

Yes, that's why I thought it was somewhere in between. Particularly his 'Ah, didn't expect that, did you?' sounded as though maybe he hadn't quite either.

Actually not quite as bad as it sounds - according to the tracker, he's in quite a big sprinters' grupetto

11:38: ROLLAND GETS DROPPED
Pierre Rolland is getting dropped by the main peloton. He hit a wall yesterday.
Do we think that's metaphorical or did he hit an actual wall?

No, real. The coverage showed him clipping back in and the commentators thought he'd crashed, but there was a big stone retaining wall on the outside of the bend and I think he ran wide and scraped it without actually falling.

According to Dimension Data, he was ill last night and despite starting the race, couldn't continue.
I'm hoovering the front room which is a double bonus as I don't have to listen to Kirby
