4 domestiques for three GC contenders

That leaves them with only 4 domestiques!!!!!!

If you don't count Marc Soler as leader #4...

 

[Va Va Froome]

Aww no... absolutely gutted for Porte.

I hope the win he got with the team in the sprint, on the anniversary of last year's big crash, shows he'll fight back from this!

I do like Dan Martin's attitude.
Shame he's not English!

Interesting fact - Porte has never won an individual stage in a Grand Tour (he won as part of the team in this year's TTT)

He's not a fan of disc brakes.
From twitter:
Many of the crashes @LeTour have been caused by guys in front braking, the guys behind not being able to stop. Rider error perhaps, but it’s also the 1st TDF where disc brakes are in wide use. The real cause?

Terpstra down in a crash , after the cobbles

 

[smutchin]

AG2R will be looking for a new tyre supplier.

 

[Va Va Froome]

He is still in it I guess, but Bardet is having a horrible time of it today...

 

[roadrash]

This is mental

 

[roadrash]

Landa down hard

 

[roadrash]

they are going to need a two hour long highlights programme at this rate

 

[roadrash]

didn't expect to see dan martin going for bonus seconds

 

[Dayvo]

They all want to finish quickly (at least the French) so they can get to the local bar and cheer on The Blues (specially for @Vantage).
