A very sorry-looking GT now out with a broken collarbone.

A lot of big names are, literally, falling.

Hope all make quick recoveries.

Bad day for FDJ - Arnaud Demare, Mickaël Delage, Ignatas Konovalovas and Jacopo Guarnieri didn't make the time cut

As Boardman just said, can't understand why they worked with Froome in the end. Should have let him do all the work bringing Bardet back himself IMO.

It's getting boringly predictable unfortunately this type of racing vs froome. Why didn't Astana mix it up. They do the work only for aru to actually lose time on froome. Muppets
