Unfortunately, the brutal course and extreme heat took their toll on Tour de France debutant @FndoGaviria, who pulled out of the race.

Poels has gone

Poels has been unexpectedly poor this year. Too much after the Giro?

Looks like it. Sky's team selection is beginning to look dodgy here.

My spirits always rise a little when Pelizotti drops back

Yates has popped again

 

[roadrash]

I cant remember a day with so many abandones

I wonder if Kruijswik will fall into a snow bank again

The crazy stage with the starting grid format could see another load of riders miss the cut too.
Especially if the GC guys go full speed from the start.

Didn't someone write that the cut will be 25% that stage? That's compared to 13% or so yesterday, so maybe fewer will miss it than you'd think.

Well it’s deja vue so far

Extreme heat? Websites make it look like mid 20s C.

Something white, probably a camper van

Young rider?

Are they taking SK too lightly or playing it cool?

 

[Crackle]

I don't think they've got the firepower to chase this
