[brommers]

There's talk of tomorrows stage finishing halfway up Mont Ventoux because of high winds.

I'm surprised no Sherlock Holmes fan has commented that Reichenbach Falls

We had this as a crossword clue in the cryptic thread back in April:
Where Moriarty dropped FDJ rider (11)

I've watched this several times and still haven't seen Matthews sprinting at 1.3km. Wasn't Impey?

Hmmm, maybe the commentator got the name wrong and I wasn't paying full attention. Apols, if so!
It was the section under the trees on a straight section.

George Bennett and Sebastien Reichenbach off the side of the road into the ditch, minor injuries only I think (edit - Madiot says all Reichenbach's left side is injured). Someone else came off in the middle of the road but they didn't say who.

I'm surprised no Sherlock Holmes fan has commented that Reichenbach Falls

Oh, and I missed it Every time I see Reichenbach on telly I want him to crash, just so I can say that.

Edit. Before I get told off. Of course I realise that rider safety is more important than pun-opportunities, and I don't really want him to crash.

All quiet at 1.3km. If it was a bit earlier it was Impey.

Ouch. Again.

 

[smutchin]

not going to make that mistake again?

You would have thought not!

 

[coffeejo]

Wasn't expecting to see Froome and Sagan race to the finish with 10kms to go!

He and GT are riding hard. 7km to keep it up for.

The peleton have finally woken up.

 

[coffeejo]

Will Cav quit after that mechanical?

 

[Crackle]

This is another, wow, stage.
