Griepel has abandoned now!
No sprinters left soon.

 

[Crackle]

Hmmmmm, that's an unusual amount of sprinters out.

Is Kruijswijk attacking for the GC or attacking trying to be there for Roglic's attack?

 

[Crackle]

This is brave from Kruijswijk but surely ultimately foolhardy. He could lose big here, I just can't see him staying away.

 

[roadrash]

Not just Griepel, but he's the highest profile

Three more riders have pulled out: Poljanski (Bora), Zabel (Katusha) and Greipel (Lotto)

So the commissaries' mercy yesterday at forgiving Zabel a few seconds over the time limit wasn't worth much.

I think Kruijswijk is going for GC. He did same in Giro a few years back successfully. Kruijiswick FTW.

sagans job is getting easier

 

[rich p]

WTF is Latour up to?

 

[Beebo]

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.
